I've been surprised at how extremely quickly measures the thermometer, which made me even suspect at first that it might not be reliable. But when remeasuring I was amazed at how accurately the ad was. The flexible tip is practical, with the size of the tip is a little big (compared to others). 4 points there, because you put the thermometer in the right direction in the shell and then also the lid right side up must sit on, otherwise it does not fit. So fast and incidentally it is not put away, but usually it is in the hustle and bustle, a very nice Gemehre. But maybe there is a solution for creative :)
