    I got mine as a freebie from Aliexpress, but I've found it quite useful.

  • Has anyone got any experience with the accuracy of these?

      Stuck one up my ass the other day, came out and said I was full of shit.

      • You doing it wrong way :)

    • Mine's within a couple of degrees.

    • +4

      Just checked mine in a cup of boiling water, measured within .3 degrees of my Thermapen.

    • +1

      They have a calibration mode if that helps

      • Newbie question please. I'm guessing something at a known temperature (boiling water comes to mind) is needed for calibration?

        • Yep. Usually need two points of reference, boiling water and melting ice water. But if you have another thermometer that is calibrated you can use that to get the measurements of something at any temperature.

  • Probably ok if you don't need a very quick reading

    I have the ~$30 version (not sure model), and it's fast but not fast enough imo. When you're cooking steaks to precision, seconds matter.

    • This one is the same as the current $30 one.

      • +1

        I'm talking about the model: iht-1p which I believe is superior to the one posted

    • I bought this Bunnings last summer, full price :(
      Seems to be quick read to me, definitely within seconds.

      • You haven’t used a Thermapen ;)

      When you're cooking steaks to precision, seconds matter.

      You are saying that the steaks are high?

      • You know them steaks is high.

  • Anyone happen to know if these can be left in "stand by" mode long term? (probe unfolded then after it times out)
    An odd question perhaps, but after using my one a few times over summer I realised I don't really need the folding part. If I can leave it on the fridge open and ready to use without it slowly draining the battery I would…

    I've read mechanical failure can be an issue with these longer term.

      It's $10, just buy 2 of them

        lol at this price I might buy a spare for sure.

        But that's a very un-OzB reply :P. It's like those discussions to people asking about say mobile phone battery life and people just saying to buy a new phone in 2 years anyway …

        • +1

          I bought multiple batteries for my S3, and its motherboard/emmc died before needing those batteries…

    • +1

      Its got an auto shutdown after 10 mins.

      Having said that, not sure why you would bother not folding it. It turns on instantly when you unfold it.

        Lazy lol
        I can't remember where but a couple of people mentioned the mechanism breaking for them as well. Not a big deal but if it stores fine in standby mode then … why not lol

        • I consider myself very lazy, but you, sir, are a god

  • +7

    Thanks, got one. Worth noting that it doesn't have a child safe battery cover, which is probably why it's on sale. Don't get one if you have little kids

    • +2

      Great thoughtful advice, thankyou

    • +4

      You probably don't want to leave a sharp object where young kids can get it regardless of the battery cover.

    • -1

      Don't get one if you have little kids

      …or teach your kids how to be safe.

      • +4

        Bit hard when they can’t talk, but you do it your way

        • -5

          Not really, that's how I did it with two of them. They knew that button batteries, knives, stovetops, fire etc weren't for them. They understand "no" and "danger" long before they can talk…obviously don't try it out with a 6 month old but if you do then parenting probably isn't for you.

          I believe kids should learn about the dangers around them as soon as possible rather than being wrapped in cotton wool.

          • +1

            @OzBragain: Yes, children always do exactly what they are told at all times and never experiment.

            You realise that you can both teach children about dangers and also not leave dangerous items laying around where they can be accessed? That’s not wrapping them in cotton wool any more than you wearing a seat belt despite being (I’m sure) a brilliant 1% driver who never makes a mistake is wrapping yourself in cotton wool

            • -1

              @dtc:

              Yes, children always do exactly what they are told at all times and never experiment.

              Which is why young children need appropriate supervision.

              You realise that you can both teach children about dangers and also not leave dangerous items laying around where they can be accessed?

              Yes I do and practice this myself. I broadly agree with your sentiments regarding parental responsibility but it does contradict the original comment I was responding to

              Don't get one if you have little kids

              There are countless items in most households which are dangerous and/or deadly to children. I believe that trying to rid one's household of these items (and other risks in little kids' lives) is not the best way to educate young kids of the dangers around them. There's a lot of learning done before the age of 5 and I'm seeing a lot of kids these days in the 8-12 year old range who really have no idea how to asses risks.

              So to elaborate on "teach your kids how to be safe", let them see what a sharp knife does under your supervision if you think they're ready. Don't leave a sharp knife laying on the kids craft table when you're done, put it on the bench or in a child proof cupboard if needed…but there's no need to get rid of all the sharp knives in your house.

              Be there and be present as a parent. Take on the responsibility of the safety of your child rather than relying on a label on the product packaging.

              • @OzBragain: so the position is

                • dont leave a sharp knife laying around - sensible parenting because knives are dangerous

                • choosing not to buy an item around when its packaged in such a way as to be dangerous - irresponsible avoidance of parental duties. You should in fact buy the item and then leave it around and teach the kids not to touch

                Oh, hang on. A knife should be put away but you shouldnt put away something else that is arguable even more dangerous

                I dont get your argument. If something is dangerous to kids its dangerous and if you buy something dangerous then you should understand the dangers involved and treat it appropriately. Like a knife. Or like something with potentially deadly batteries.

                • @dtc:

                  I dont get your argument

                  I can see that, let me try again for you.

                  Lithium button batteries along with knives, shaving razors, dishwasher powder/tablets, matches/lighters, hot saucepans of water or oil, even a water glass that can smash into sharp pieces that could cut a kid's wrist…along with so many other household items we take for granted as adults are ALL potentially dangerous and/or deadly to small children.

                  Treat your deadly meat thermometer with an unsecured lithium battery the same as you would a sharp kitchen knife. Let the kids know about the dangers and if you're concerned they're not responsible enough yet, keep it out of their reach.

                  choosing not to buy an item around when its packaged in such a way as to be dangerous - irresponsible avoidance of parental duties. You should in fact buy the item and then leave it around and teach the kids not to touch

                  I don't think this thermometer is any more or less dangerous than sharp kitchen knife. I wouldn't let my kid play in the corner with one of my kitchen knives or a digital meat thermometer. This is not a kid's toy and not intended to be used by unsupervised children. Once the adults have finished with the digital meat thermometer, put it in a safe location…just the same as you would with a knife. Do you get it yet?

                  But at the end of the day if you believe this thermometer is too dangerous to be in a house with small kids then I suggest you take victor's advice and don't buy one until you're old enough to be safe.

    • I used to swallow coins when I was a kid, thank goodness these types of batteries weren't really around then

    • it doesn't have a child safe battery cover…

      Child safe button batteries are available.
      So only use those around children.
      Soon those will be the only ones sold here.

      Button battery safety standards laws become mandatory on 22 June - ACCC

      New mandatory safety standards for button batteries - Choice

      • I don't think there are child safe batteries per se, but rather packaging which makes it a lot harder for kids to get to a battery, and battery compartments that require a screwdriver to access the battery.

    • sooo, instead of taking it off market, sell as many as you can!

    • Comment of the month!!

  • Only a few left at West Footscray; had the original price label but scans at the right price.

  • Got one, thank you.

  • Thank you, ordered one

  • I bought one at full price recently for my smoker. It does the job. Might buy a backup at this price.

    • If you don't have one already, consider a wireless leave in thermometer for your smoker. Inkbird make a reasonably priced one that will give you constant readout of meat and pit temp without touching anything.

      • +1

        Thanks mate. I've got a Traeger 575 which has it's own leave-in wireless thermometer, but I like being able to 'probe' different spots on the meat as I've found there's often cold and hot spots.

        I am playing with finishing cooks in the electric oven as the smoker pellets are ridiculously expensive and most meats stop absorbing smoke flavour after 3-4 hours. Inkbird may come in handy for that.

        • That's a pellet grill, not a smoker

          • @TEER3X: yet the pellets produce smoke which imparts flavor on the meat.

  • anyone know why this product is not listed on inkbird website?

  • With FREE Bunnings Beanie & thank you note!
    Did anyone else get that with their order?
    Picked up first c&c today. Only $3, but nice surprise.

    3rd free Beanie this week - "Winter is coming"!
    (Other 2 free with $20 Kathmandu vouchers)

  • Is this still available ? I get "page not found".
