Etekcity Infrared Thermometer Laser Temperature Gun 774, Meat Food Candy Oven Thermometer for Griddle Accessories, Heat Gun for Cooking Refrigerator Tools, Adjustable Emissivity & Max Measure, Yellow

I was looking for an infrared thermometer due to getting a new outdoor pizza oven. When it comes to quality of items, it can really be hit or miss but I was incredibility surprised with the quality and speed of the device. The laser is easily readable with a decently fast display. I didn't see any issues with the device, and it shuts off automatically after a short period. Home cooks should look to this item as part of their tool arsenal!

Product works great, quick response, easy to use. Seems to be fairly accurate on basic temp measurements like room walls, etc. Haven't done extension testing yet, but pleased so far.

Used for 2 days now. No issues. Like the settings. Laser is helpful to target exactly where I want. Temp read is quick. Simple to use.

I use an Etekcity infrared laser thermometer to check whether my air conditioning is working properly. I pointed the laser at the ceiling registers, and I should mention that my house has 12-foot ceilings. I found that there was no difference in the temperature readings when measuring from the floor versus getting closer using a ladder. This was good news, and I am satisfied with the performance of the device for this purpose. However, in other instances the thermometer produces inaccurate readings. For example, I attempted to measure the temperature of a heated pan before frying an egg, and the reading was significantly off—most likely due to the reflective nature of the stainless-steel surface. From what I have read, infrared thermometers generally do not perform well when measuring reflective materials. Disclaimer: I am a regular paying customer and did not receive any incentives from the seller or manufacturer.

I use this while working on my car and it is handy. You can tell the temperature of things without touching them. It takes readings at a pretty good speed, the range is crazy long, the screen is bright and readable, and it seems to be of good quality.

This is a good tool in the kitchen and a must if you are new to using an induction stove, it helps you dial in the temperature of your pots and pans. It gives a instant reading to help you feel a bit more confident when searing meats, or sauté vegetables, etc.

So far, so good. I’ve used other, more expensive, models, and this one works just as well. Accurate for my needs with checking vents for HVAC. Seems durable and is very easy to use. The backlight is nice to see.

Product: Etekcity Lasergrip 800 Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun Rating: 4.5 of 5 (excellent) I cook a lot with cast iron flat griddles, both small and large ... a surface wholly unsuited for corded digital temperature probes, because at the sort of temperatures they’re most commonly used at (450-600F) if the droopy cord connecting the probe to the sensor touches the surface for anything longer than a brief instant, it’s toast, and you have to buy a new one. I’ve ruined several probes that way over the years, and it rapidly becomes annoying. To date, my favorite solution by far is one of the latest generation hand-held wireless Infrared Sensor Guns like the Etekcity Lasergrip 800, which cost me an extremely reasonable and affordable $25 usd in 2017. Anytime I heat a pot of oil for deep-frying, or use a saucier to reduce braising liquid into a thick sweet glaze, or if I use my griddles for things like making Lebanese mountain bread, homemade tortillas, quesadillas, pancakes, fermented dosa crepes, pressed sandwiches (paninis & tortas), burgers, steaks, bacon, blackened fish, eggs, et al., the Etekcity 800 is incredibly handy for rapidly spot-checking the temperature status of your griddle (so you can finesse it accordingly), and also finding any patterns of uneven heating that occur in your setup {TIP: CI is a poor thermal conductor, therefore the slower you heat it, the more evenly it heats}. Different foods like different temperatures too. For example, I like to work at around 500-550F when searing off freshly stretched mountain bread (see photo), which is very thin, and prone to overcooking if your griddle/plancha is too hot. Things like crepes and dosas are even more temperature sensitive, and a thermal gun is indispensable for helping you to stay in the ideal temp range, for significantly better results and less food waste. Likes: * Ergonomic: It’s very fast (under 1 sec), accurate (+/- 2%), lightweight (4 oz), easy to use (very simple and intuitive - reading the manual is purely optional), easy to read, and has a thermal range (-58F to +1382F) that fully covers all my needs, and with plenty of room to spare. * Battery: The specs list 14hrs of cumulative runtime per 9v battery, which is more than enough to last you a year or more, even with regular daily use. * Sensor Aperture: This unit features a sensor with a nice high DSR rating of 16:1 (read: tight aperture), meaning if you hold it at the recomended distance of 14.17 inches, the circular diameter of the region being sensed centered on the siming dot is 1/16th of that, or roughly 0.88 inch (about midway in size between a Nickel and a Quarter). Minor Nits: * Battery (-1/2 star): I’m a big believer in eco-friendly rechargeable, but the designers of this gun opted for a 9v battery design, which while great for low-draw devices like smoke detectors is easily my least favorite, and least efficient formats when it comes to rechargeables. Although there may be some valid technical reasons for the 9v use, I really wish they’d gone with 3.7v 18650’s instead, or perhaps 1.2v AAAs, both of which are highly friendly to low-self-discharge 1000+ cycle rechargeables, and are easily available. * Sensor Reticle (-1/2 star): First, some disambiguation - although this product prominently mentions “laser” in the name, it only uses the laser to provide a single bright dot (your aiming reticle) so you can see where you’re pointing the sensor - the laser is NOT the actual sensing mechanism, nor does the diameter of the dot reflect the diameter of the region being sensed, which many may find confusing or unintuitive. A better pointer design would be a laser ring (multiple dots), instead of a singular dot, with the diameter of the ring matching the DSR rating of the sensor aperture, so that you can see EXACTLY the size of the area being sensed at any given range. Despite these 2 minor nits, I still highly recommend this device, which has become one of my top 10 favorite culinary tools in my kitchen.
