An Excellent Product June 24, 2006

Just got my Mastercool IR thermometer the other day. It's easy to use and works exactly as it's supposed to.
There's no on/off switch, simply point the trigger and shoot and you'll get an instant read. The unit automatically shuts itself off after 15 seconds. The laser beam is very useful and let's you know the exact spot you're reading.
the LCD screen is backlit, and allows you to view readings in C OR F. Battery life is approx 15hrs (uses 2AAA).
I highly recommend this product.

I have performed thermal analysis in an engineering environment for over 30 years. This product provides an accurate picture of the thermal conditions associated with auto engines, home heating systems and the like. It was shipped immediately and has a great case for storage.

I've been wanting one for years, but they've finally gotten cheap enough to buy just to geek around the house.
I now know the warm and cold parts of my fridge. I know the best place to keep wine in my basement. I know which windows need to be replaced and my pancakes never burn. Yeah, it is kinda clunky and the display is a touch hard to read but come on, it works great.
Excellent for use in cooking, quite affordable November 5, 2007

I bought this to use at my stove when cooking. It takes a little getting used to, since surface temperatures are significantly different from interior temperatures. Like, when cooking caramel, the surface temperature seems usually to be about 10F cooler than the interior (measured with a normal digital thermometer), whereas things in the oven, the surface will obviously be much hotter than the interior (so much hotter that this is really only useful on the stovetop.)
Once you learn to compensate for stovetop use, though, this thing is incredibly handy. Checking frying oil to make sure it's at 375F for best deep-frying results, checking on confections to stop them at the right temperature, making sure custards in a double-boiler aren't approaching a boil, I use this thing all the time. It sits on the shelf immediately above and to the left of my stove so it's within easy reach when my intuition isn't enough or I'm trying to do many things at once.
This was the least expensive one I could find on Amazon, too, with a decent FOV. For cooking, this one's 1:12 view cone is great -- means when you point and shoot from a foot away, it's sampling a 1" circle. Some of the other inexpensive ones have cheaper optics and some are as bad as 1:1, which means to sample a 1" circle you'd have to hold it an inch away from the surface -- completely unfeasible when cooking something like caramel, if you value your skin.
It's a great tool and a great toy May 14, 2007

This thermometer works great for household use such as checking temperatures of air vents, windows, ceilings, oven, grill, etc. I have especially found it useful for checking water temperature. Just point it at the water and you have the temperature. I use it at the pool, lake, ocean, hot tub, and any other body of water. It was also fun having this at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, checking the temperature of all the geologic hot spots.
