Title: Great Little Gadget - Less Than Intuitive Operation
Product review: I got this a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It takes all the guess work out of cooking roasts. It's also replaced my egg-timer as my primary kitchen timer. The alarm is loud and constant; I have no problem hearing it from anywhere in my (admittedly not very big) home. I also love the fact that it has both a flip-out stand for putting it on the counter, and a magnet for sticking it to the fridge (or anything else suitably stickable).My one complaint is that learning to use the thing took a little while. The buttons and controls are less than intuitive. Switching between modes, making sure the alarm is set, and getting it to let you set specific temperatures (rather than sticking to the FDA-approved meat doneness settings), all take a little finagling. If you're relatively gadget-savvy it probably won't be an issue. But if you're buying it for your grandma, maybe look for another brand.
