Check price on Amazon

Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The cheapest DOQAUS costs £5.46 and is rated 4.6 stars from 341 ratings, with the same 3 second response and 300°C ceiling as its more expensive siblings.\n\nIt takes tenth because it is the cheapest way here to cook with a thermometer, while its sample is the smallest in this ranking and its probe is measured in inches where its own sibling uses centimetres.

Questions people ask

Is it as good as the £7.99 DOQAUS?

It states the same sensor, the same response time and the same ceiling.

How deep can the probe go?

The page says 4.3 inches; another DOQAUS here says 12 centimetres.

Why is the sample so small?

It is a budget listing from a brand with several; 341 ratings is thin.

Is it rechargeable?

No: the field says so and the battery in the box is a button cell.

Why is it tenth?

Because it is the cheapest thermometer here and the least evidenced.

How many ratings does it have?

341 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 79 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
