Does the scale become discolored once temperature reaches 650 F deg. or just after few use? Does the paint there appear to be thermally resistant?

Paint is thermal resistant but the glass discolor after 2 uses (for us 2 uses at 500). Rendering the unit useless.

Took me a few uses before any discoloration set in the metal. As far as the temp display. It still looks good after a few fires.

Paint seems to hold up well. The lens discolored pretty quickly but I'm not sure the temperature.

I use this thermometer in my smoker so the temp doesn't get over 300F. It does get discolored, but it washes easily with soap and water. If washed after each use, I have found it to look and function just fine.

the long answer: the paint has chipped already. i use dobie sponges. idk if that's what's causing it. or if it's just an indication of the quality of the pots and pans. but for $60 bucks i can't complain. the short answer: i haven't tried it and i wouldn't recommend it.

Not certain of the grade, But I have been using it for a few months and really enjoy cooking with it. No problems with discoloration; still looks as it did when I first started using it.

Mine has never degraded, but I haven't used it at that temp nor has it been used a great deal. I find that it is a good addition to the cookware.

I have had it up to 530 degrees . I use a infrared temp gauge to check the surface temp. I use a wire brush to clean it.

The inside walls are plastic,the bottom metal.we haven't had any significant scale build up but either normal de scaler or water/vinegar solution will I am sure work effectively. I used the kettle almost daily in Inia and Nepal for 5 weeks and it performed perfectly.

I have had the scale for over 2 months and have not have any issues. If you take care of the scale i don't foresee any issues. It is built well and and works great. Do you expect a lifetime warranty on a scale, when you do not get a lifetime warranty on life. Lets be realistic!

So far, no. It doesn't seem like the paint could come off.I like this thermos very much. REALLY keeps things hot or cold. Lightweight too.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

Yes that the kind I have. I have heavily used the pan for 5 years now and I just started to notice some discoloration in the center, but I would say it has lasted enough. As a rule I never put the heat higher that 7.

I've had mine for a year and the paint has stayed pretty well in-tact. It's an awesome grill, perfect to cook over a fire with. We usually cook on aluminum foil to keep the grill a little cleaner.

Its tough paint, but its epoxy based (like hard plastic), so I don't think it would hold up to extreme heat very well if its really close to the burner. I would probably suggest trying high heat rated spray paint instead.

mine lasted about 2 weeks. (I logged on to see if they were just short term ones for demo purposes and see that other people were luckier) Hope it is the batteries and not the scale b/c I liked it while it lasted. (will get some new ones and try that)

No, the temp would not change the scale as it measures the transparency of the fluid. Do it cold for convenience.

Hi, Randoma. The scale will auto-shut-off in 60s if no operations, please noted.

I'm not sure, in fact I don't remember mine coming with a decal. If I had to guess maybe the lower scale is in centigrade instead of Fahrenheit, but the high/low range does not agree if you convert it. I used an infrared thermometer to measure the temp when it came on and adjusted it where I wanted (I chose about 120F). Sorry I'm no help on this one. Jeff

I like mine. It is still being used. It was covered in snow over winter and has some rust but I am going to use your idea and go to home depot and get fire-resistant paint.
