SuperFast Thermapen ONE Thermometer - Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Kitchen, Food Cooking, Grill, BBQ, Smoker, Candy, Home Brewing, Coffee, and Oil Deep Frying (Midnight Blue)

I'll be honest, the price of a Thermapen makes you wince when you're used to seeing thermometers for a fiver. But I'm writing this as someone who abused the previous model for years — dropped it in boiling wort, left it out in the rain, generally treated it appallingly — and it just kept going. I only replaced it because the fold-out probe wasn't activating cleanly anymore — you're supposed to flip it open and it powers on automatically, but I was having to wiggle it repeatedly to get a reading. Probably years of gunge worked into the mechanism. Not ideal when you need a quick temperature mid-brew. The old one still worked, mind you. This new model is a step up in every way. The reading speed is phenomenal — practically instant — and the auto-rotating backlit display is a genuinely useful upgrade rather than a gimmick. The battery cover has been properly re-engineered too. The old coin-slot design was getting mangled after years of use, whereas this one feels far more robust with silicone gaskets for extra protection. I use mine constantly for brewing, distilling, sourdough baking, and any time I'm making jam, chutney, or toffee — anything where hitting the right temperature is the difference between success and a sticky mess. I don't think I could do any of these to the same standard without it. It's also proudly British-made, which matters to me. Yes, it's a lot for a thermometer. But it's a precision instrument that'll outlast a drawer full of cheap alternatives, and it's a pleasure to use every single time. Every kitchen should have one, and any baker or brewer would be thrilled to receive one as a gift.

This is very accurate on readings. High quality. Very pleased I purchased this even though it was expensive,but worth every penny.

The speed of response and accuracy of this thermometer is excellent. The body is robust and smooth so it’s easy to wipe clean. It’s also waterproof, including the battery compartment, where all the control buttons are protected. It’s rare that you will want to alter the settings anyway, so this isn’t a problem and it avoids water ingress through leaky switch housings. The thermometer can measure temperature in either Celsius (centigrade) or Fahrenheit and it is switched on by opening the probe. This automatically switches on the lcd display and illumination. There is a sensor to determine the ambient light level and this saves on battery usage. If needed, you can switch on the display illumination by covering the sensor with your thumb. The display is self-orienting so makes readings easy to make regardless of the angle of the thermometer. The probe is thin and sharp and easily penetrates meat. Take care to open the probe gently from a position close to the pivot as the probe is a thin stainless steel tube not a solid steel rod - so don’t use it to prise lids from tins! The accompanying instruction booklet is the most comprehensive example that I have seen. It’s excellent. The thermometer may be on the pricey side, but compared to the slooow response of other thermometers I have used, I wouldn’t be without this one.

They always say that you should never ask a hoover salesman about buying the right washing machine.... And that's why I never will :) In the past I have been guilty of looking for bargain items for home use, I can truthfully say your thermometer should never be one of them. (Although it did take me 3 oxo thermometers failing before I finally got the message) This one is the exact same thermometer that they use in commercial kitchens with real chefs and stuff cool hey.... And I can understand why, its quick, feels incredibly well made and so far hasn't failed to improve a single bacon sandwich - in my mind that's worth every penny. On a more serious note : if you value understanding the temperatures of your meat, need to check water temperatures at work or simply feel like upgrading your bbq this year I can highly recommend buying this.

Buy this one over the cheaper "Classic" as it's accurate and updates faster (1 second reads) No drama at all with this device. My older Thermapen IR served me well for a few years, but now refuses to take probe temps and only takes IR temps. Maybe I can fix it, but that's another story.

This is a really well-made, sturdy product. It does exactly what it says on the tin! It checks temperatures REALLY quickly, and you can feel the great build quality in your hand. It puts my previous £10 thermometer to shame. The only downside is that it's really expensive. I understand that you have to pay extra for quality gear, but I think a more fair price for this would be in the £50 region. Love this thermometer. Don't really love the price!

It’s so quick to use, really accurate and made in the UK. It’s the perfect thermometer for checking food is cooked at home. If I ran a business or was a chef I’d have one of these. It is so quick compared to the other thermometers I have used. I am very impressed. I don’t know how long the mechanism will last but it feels robust and the small size of the probe means no visible holes, mostly.

Can’t beat thermapen for an instant read thermometer. My second one of these. If you don’t care about colour, I’d recommend buying the least popular one as it’s usually cheaper. I now have a blue one to keep at my in-laws and a purple one at home.

Semplicemente perfetto. Lettura veloce della temperatura, e molto accurata.

Les meilleurs thermopen que je connaisse, j'utilise cette marque depuis bientôt 10 ans, on est sur des produits fiable, performant, rapide, le top.

Sehr genau!

Bin sehr zufrieden, habe schon zwei davon verschenkt. Wird bei mir ständig eingesetzt, ist rasend schnell in der Anzeige, liegt gut in der Hand. Nutze es nicht nur für die Kerntemperatur von Bratgut, auch Temperatur von Wasser unterhalb des Siedepunktes lässt sich präzise und schnell kontrollieren.

Probablemente, cualquier otro termómetro cumpliría la misma función, pero la inmediatez, la sensación de tenerlo en la mano y la calidad que se percibe son simplemente inigualables. Algo negativo que noto (aunque podría ser positivo para otros) es que la pantalla no se mantiene encendida todo el tiempo, y que rota ocasionalmente dependiendo de la posición, aunque la rotación no es del todo precisa. Por lo demás, es un gran termómetro
