Product Description
Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen is chosen by restaurant chains, health inspectors, quality managers and chefs all over the world. The clever pocket design replaces more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. The Super-Fast Thermapen displays actual internal food or liquid temperatures in only 3 or 4 seconds. Other thermometers make you wait another 20 seconds or more to catch up to the Thermapen. That's a huge difference in a fast paced commercial kitchen or when you're over a hot grill. If you're cooking an expensive cut of meat you want a perfect outcome. You don't want a slow temperature reading that might be misinterpreted and your meat overcooked.
The reduced-diameter needle tip of the Super-Fast model only requires about 1/8" immersion so you can take the temperature of even thin burger patties. And, you'll only leave a tiny, self-closing hole in your steak instead of the gaping "juice-drain" left by "digital BBQ forks" or the old dial-type meat thermometers.
The Thermapen automatically comes on when you unfold the probe and it shuts off when you close it for storage. An auto-off feature will save your battery if you leave the probe open over 6 minutes. Each unit includes a battery, a wrist-strap and a certificate of calibration with actual test data to show your unit's accuracy at two temperatures.

No more overcooked meat!!,

This review is from: Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Blue) - Thermoworks
I have over- and under-cooked meat thousands of times. I have never mastered that "touch detection" method of determining when a steak is medium, rare or medium-rare.
Dial thermometers have two problems: they take too long to register the current temp, and leave a gaping hole in the meat. The Thermapen circumvents both of these issues by giving you an INSTANT digital reading of the internal temp, and the probe tip is about the size of a pencil lead - leaving minimal damage to the food when with withdrawn, and not wasting your oven heat while waiting for the dial to register the internal temp. The only thing worse than an overcooked steak is an undercooked bird. Yuck. This thermometer will help you cook perfect meat, poultry and seafood every single time. The price tag is worth it, considering what you may waste in ruined cooking ventures over time. For a helpful temperature guide, see here: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/MeatTemperatureChart.htm (TIP) Keep a small printout of the internal meat temp chart in a quart-sized Zip-Loc bag with your Thermapen. Preparedness at its best!

If you can afford it, this is the thermometer to own but in which color?,
By D. Henderson (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Blue) - Thermoworks
I have both a standard dial "instant read" and digital thermometer before purchasing this one. Both got the job done but the Thermapen is now the only thermometer I use in the kitchen (my other one is red The Original Super-Fast Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Red) by Thermoworks ). It is easier to insert into whatever meat I am preparing. It leaves a very small hole so less juice run out and the hole is less noticeable. And with its large digital display, I no longer squint at a dial or small digital display when reading the temperature. And its quick and accurate reading makes getting back to cooking or eating that much faster. The auto shutoff helps save the battery life. My old digital thermometer takes tools to change the battery. No tools required to change the battery with the Thermapen.
PROS: Very fast reading. Large display. CONS: It's expensive (but worth it if you can and wish to afford it). The replacement battery is a bit difficult to find. I was able to get one from a chain office supply store!

This review is from: Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Blue) - Thermoworks
This is the best and fastest thermometer I've used. Well worth the money. I have a drawer of other ones I'll sell at a yard sale.
