Worth every cent IMO.  My wife washed and dried mine that was in my bib pocket.  Removed the batteries and made sure the interior was dry, installed them, and it took off like new.  Checked calibration and it was like nothing ever happened to it.  I use mine for cooking too.

+ 1, except my wife hasn't washed mine yet.

I have and love the rtc as well. It was actually cheaper than the DeltaTrak  NSF certified that is leftover from my restaurant days. I get essentially the same readings from both, but the rtc gets there and stabilizes much faster

I use this,primarily. The infrared was bonus....always within .5 degree of probe reading. Waterproof and reads really quick ( not quite as fast as thermopen)

I use this with great results. I got it for $3.99 shipped from a sale on Meritline years ago and it works great. It takes 6-8 seconds or so to equalize, and mine is calibrated just fine. Even at $8 it's practically disposable. I've been meaning to pick up another one or two for dedicated food and cheese thermometers, so I don't have to share my beer one.
