Seems accurate. Boiling water shows 100°. The inside of a grilling chicken showed 80° whereas I was aiming for around 70°. Guess the thermometer was showing the right temperature because the chicken turned out to be slightly dry and overcooked. Works for checking room and air temperature too unlike what some reviewers and Answers here say. So you can use it to test the temperature inside your fridge and freezer too.
The only thing I don't like is the slow speed and the time taken for it to show the correct temperature, like the mercury body thermometers we used to use. That can be extremely inconvenient sometimes. e.g. I had to stop the rotisserie spinning when I was grilling my chicken to take its temperature. The oven lost a lot of heat during that time. But considering the price I still think it's a 5 star product.
A tip - Before using this to test cooking meat temperature, boil some water on the stove and dip the thermometer in it till it reaches around 80-90°. Then quickly insert this in the meat. It will then display the meat temperature much quicker than it would have starting from room temperature.
Hope that helps.
