Product Description
The RediChek remote features a transmitter that reads the internal food termperature with a digital electronic food probe, then sends that information wirelessly up to 100 feet away, freeing you from standing next to the oven or grill during the cooking period. When the desired temperature is reached an alarm goes off! The taste or doneness of meats can be determined to be rare, medium, medium well, or well done based on the type of food and the internal temperature reached during cooking. |

Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire. Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds. Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack |

Handy Helper for Smoking Day by Caseygrrl  4 Stars
November 27, 2009
I've used this unit with my smoker for about a year. You do lose the signal without any alert at times, even at a range of a few feet (my smoker is about 10 feet outside the kitchen door from the counter I set the receiver on). I've found that inserting fresh lithium batteries before a long cook (12 hours) helps reduce this problem. Still, it's nice on a cold, drizzy November day to be able to press a few buttons and know what temperature the turkey and pork shoulder is at. For monitoring the smoker's temperature I use a third probe thermometer. My smoker's pretty good at holding temperature, so I can usually get by with setting the smoker probe to go off if the temperature spikes at the beginning of a cook, or goes too low during a long cook. Yes, there is a product that is specifically designed to measure smoker temperature ranges, but I like how you can tweak this unit's temperature settings to do both things, if needed. I've had no issues with the original probes it came with. And replacement probes with heavier duty, longer 6 foot cords are available on the internet. I would buy it again.

Nice Thermometer by Dave (Shelby,OH USA) 4 Stars
November 11, 2009
This thermometer works great. I love the fact that I can walk away from the grill (Holland Grill) and just wait for the food to reach set temperature. The range of the receiver is not as good as stated, but it does work!

C'mon, 100ft Range? by iuiiiuuiuu (USA)  2 Stars
November 04, 2009
I only bought this for the remote feature, the rest of the stuffs are of no interest to me. They should stop advertising the 100 ft range remote. Because in realty, this thing does not work beyond 4 meters.

very limited range by Matthew Singrin (Denver, Colorado)  3 Stars
October 30, 2009
The first unit received would not transmit a signal (30 feet) consistantly from my barbeque to my kitchen. I returned it and received another which seems to maintain an uninterrupted signal for the 30 minutes of outside cooking. An audible alarm which alerts one that the signal has been lost would be a vital improvement to this gadget. In the mean time, I will check the signal often and regularly. The reported temperatures seem to be accurate, the instructions are straigtforward and the two probes are handy.

Yeah, right, 100 feet, try 10... by Flyer Tuck  1 Stars
October 19, 2009
The only reason I bought this was for the remote monitoring capability. I cannot get more than 10 feet away without loosing the transmitter and that is line of site.
If I close my sliding glass door, I do not get 5 feet.
I tried 3 sets of batteries, incuding rechargables, no improvement.
Great product in other ways, accurate and clean design, but useless to me since it isn't really a remote monitor.
