Grill chicken, beef and pork to perfection every time. This deluxe barbecue fork has a "Rapid Read" tip that gives an accurate temperature of meat on the grill or in the oven – in only four seconds. If you're creating a "mixed grill" meal, you can check several different types of meats without resetting. Features: - Accurate temperature reading in just four seconds
- Check multiple types of meat without resetting
- For grill or oven
- Alarm beeps when proper temperature is reached
- Built-in light for evening grilling
- Measures temperature in Fahrenheit or Celcius
Use the automatic settings or input your own custom settings for meat that's cooked exactly the way you and your family like it. A built-in alarm alerts you when the temperature is "just right," and the integrated handle light lets you see what you're cooking when grilling at night.

Summary: Great digital Fork
Comment: I am a avid online shopper. I do a lot of research before making a purchase. If you are in the market for a great digital fork, stop shopping and just buy this one as you won't be disappointed. Now my steaks
are perfect, not over cooked and not raw either. I love BBQ-ing and this fork takes all the guess work out if it. Just poke it in the steak wait till it beeps, then glance down and look at the "EZ to READ" display".
If you like med.rare pull them off when it reads 131F.

Summary: Great Thermometer!
Comment: This is a wonderful thermometer! We have used this thermometer, probably, every other day for years and haven't had any problems. We use it not only for grilling but also for indoor cooking as well. We use it mostly for cooking fish or steaks and it has never steered us wrong. I do agree with the other reviewer that says not to get it wet as it may cease to work, but going in with that expectation you should be very happy with the results!

Summary: Great Temperature Fork!
Comment: This product works just as promised---a quick, accurate, lighted readout of the temperature immediately after inserting the fork in the meat. Much better than other grill forks I've used.

Summary: Controlled Test Results: Warning - Unacceptable Product
Comment: I BBQ several times a week and have learned the importance of reliable equipment, especially when friends are over. I bought the Maverick RediFork Pro because it has lots of cool features such as a backlit LCD display and "headlight" for nighttime grilling. Unfortunately, my results with the Maverick were disastrous. After a couple of embarrassing cook-outs and expensive "mis-steaks", I decided to perform some controlled tests on it and similar forks from CDN, BarbequePro, and TruCook. In addition to the forks, I also tested a simple single-probe digital thermometer, the Taylor #806 Weekend Warrior.
Using hot water, a control thermometer, a stopwatch, and fresh batteries in each unit, I tested for speed and accuracy. My results: the Maverick RediFork Pro was the slowest, most inaccurate, most expensive, and most confusing to use of all units tested. The Maverick took an agonizingly-long 110-120 seconds before its display settled on a temperature. Worse yet, it read under the actual temperature by 25-35 degrees; the reason my steaks were overcooked. Just to make sure I did not have a defective unit, I bought another Maverick RediFork Pro but the test results were identical.
For many reasons, an accurate digital thermometer reading (i.e. +/- 2 degrees) shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Therefore, the Maverick RediFork Pro is deemed completely unacceptable in my testing. The other forks were not much better and the dirt-simple Taylor 806 was the only product to take an accurate reading in under 10 seconds. Conclusion: Keep it simple with a digital probe; avoid gimmick-laden digital BBQ forks.

Summary: Doesn't work, don't waste money
Comment: I have tried everything imaginable to get this to work. The temp is inaccurate compared to other thermometers, it often doesn't register at all, it won't hold the temp long enough to read. The display is teeny-tiny and as such, nearly impossible to read
