Taylor 9847N Thermometer

The Taylor 9847N is designed for speed, providing temperature updates in just one second. This makes it ideal for checking multiple spots in a roast or monitoring thin cuts of meat without losing heat.

Yes, the unit is waterproof, which allows you to wash it under running water or submerge it for easy cleaning. However, avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the high heat can damage the internal electronics.

The storage case is treated with an anti-microbial agent to inhibit the growth of bacteria and pathogens while the thermometer is stored. It is a helpful safety feature, though you should still ensure the probe is clean and dry before putting it away.

No, it features an auto shut-off function to help preserve battery life. While it does have a manual on/off switch, the auto-off feature acts as a backup to ensure the battery isn't drained accidentally.

The hold feature allows you to lock the current temperature reading on the display. This is particularly useful when you are measuring the temperature in an awkward position or inside a hot oven where you cannot easily read the screen while the probe is inserted.

The 3-inch stainless steel stem is standard for most kitchen tasks, such as checking steaks, chicken breasts, or fish. If you are regularly roasting very large turkeys or deep-frying in tall pots, you may find a longer probe more convenient to keep your hands further from the heat.
