Description bullet point #4 states; "nearly seamless glass and metal material makes cleaning simple and easy". is the lens glass or plastic?

This looks terrific and is small enough but can't remember if it's glass or plastic on temperature gauge. The metal is easy to clean, however, it isn't accurate and takes forever to show temperature. I threw it out as I was past the return date.

Where along the probe does it measure temperature if using for ambient air? At the very tip, or along the length of the probe somewhere?

Food Health Inspectors measures refrigerator temperatures using a glass of water with a stick thermometer (placed in the middle of the refrigerator for an hour or so) since water is a good gauge for temperature (freezes at 32F and boils at 212F). I supposed you can measure the ambient air using the same method otherwise use a glass mercury/alcohol thermometer.

WORKS AS ADVERTISED! TELLS ME VEHICLE A/C DASH TEMPS AT A GLANCE

These items work just like advertised. They are able to be calibrated and come with instructions – they are as good as any analog A/C thermometers I've seen! And the price is unbeatable! I have them in the dashboards of my vehicles and it is easy to determine the operation and level of efficiency of the A/C systems (not to mention when it says 40°F, you know you're getting cooled down [for my wife] LOL!)

Gran termómetro

Lo usé para medir la temperatura en suelo porque no encontré otra opción asequible y me sirvió mucho en mis experimentos. Fue fácil de calibrar y el procedimiento me dio mucha confianza. Recomendado

Simple, preciso, económico.

Me gusto mucho la simplicidad y precisión del producto. Es económico y preciso, es mi primera vez usando un termometro de este tipo y no sabía que debían calibrarse, pero acceder a videos en youtube para hacerlo fue muy sencillo.

Very small footprint

Perfect tool to meter your meat temperature while cooking. Very easy to calibrate in cold water. No battery to change, nice holder to protect it and it even has a clip so it will not fall from you pocket if you carry it. Meter is a bit small for my old eyes but it does the job. Highly recommend this product. Will not waste anymore meat. 1 day shipping with Amazon prime. Wow!! What a great service. Thanks
