Ikea - Fantast - Meat Thermometer

Ikea - Fantast - Meat Thermometer

This meat thermometer at IKEA is just labeled as "Fantast" on the box and instruction manual.

It is dual mode with both a thermometer and timer. However, changing from timer mode to temperature mode will clear the timer. The mode is changed on the back with a slider switch (circled in yellow in the picture).

I have written on the front the temperature at boiling in order to ensure calibration is within a few degrees. For me, the temperature read 210 or 212 F. Based on reported temperature, the boiling point should have been 211 - 212 F. At this point in the scale the resolution is 2 degrees. For the lower ranges, the resolution is 1 F.

Specifications:
Timer max: 99 minutes, 59 seconds
Temperature alarm max: 130 C (266 F) (beeping will start if actual temperature is above the set temperature)
In count up mode, timer resets to 0 if it passes 99 minutes, 59 seconds.
Timer is reset by pushing up and down together.
Magnet on the back for storage.
Operated by one LR03 AAA 1.5 V battery.
