Title: Digital Thermometers on Nibets
Post by: imark on August 16, 2013, 05:27:47 PM
Just a quick heads-up! They appear to have free delivery this month and have a couple of decent digital thermometers around €15. May be useful and seem like better quality than the popular ikea ones for similar price (I think). For the record I've no affiliation with either ikea or nibets btw

A friend have one and after two weeks it was about 10 deg out.
Maybe a faulty batch  :(

@Will_D yes. Bleeding predictive text on phone keeps screwing up things.

@ratsathome interesting to know. Bit disappointing though.

I use one of those, its by far the best thermometer I've had, must buy a spare one actually.

Damofto is that the actual probe that comes with it? Are these ok to use for a boil?

Yes that's it, it's small in fairness but works fine. I've used it at boiling temps but never really left it in a boil for any period of time.  it's accurate that's the main thing for me.
