Product Description
The Super-Fast Thermapen has been a favorite among restaurant chains, health inspectors and quality managers worldwide. Hundreds of thousands are in use. The clever fold-away probe and the simple pocket design replace more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. This new generation Thermapen introduces a robust, splash-proof design with molded-in seals to protect the thermometer from wet hands and kitchen splashes. SPEED & ACCURACY - Even more accurate than before and slightly faster! Our proprietary circuit yields accuracies better than ±0.7¡F. That includes all errors! (many competitors don't include the probe error in their spec.) Each unit comes with a NIST-Traceable certificate of calibration showing test results for the individual thermometer. Resolution is now 0.1¡ over the full range. Improvements in the probe technology now yield a blazing fast speed of 3 seconds to a full temperature reading. NO CABLES! - The components most likely to fail in a commercial thermometer are the cable and its connector. Also, the typical handheld meter and probe combination requires two hands. What do you do with the cable when you're through with it? The competition want you to wrap it around the meter, which is time consuming and a natural trap for grime and bacteria! The one-handed Thermapen eliminates frayed cables, snags, germ traps and wasted time while freeing your second hand. SIMPLE OPERATION - Just open the probe and the Thermapen comes on. Close it and it shuts off. No buttons or switches to catch germs, confuse staff and cause errors. Configuration settings in the battery compartment allow management to easily set the Thermapen for ¡C or ¡F, read in tenths or whole degrees (0.1¡ or 1¡), and disable the auto-off for continuous readings till the probe is closed. Although likely to never be needed, a calibration trim button fine-tunes the unit calibration at a single temperature such as an ice-bath.

 Save some money and get a "Flip-Stick" thermometer from Control Company July 23, 2010

These "instant read" digital thermometers are great tools for the kitchen. I highly recommend one - it takes all the guess work out of cooking meat well. The Thermaworks Thermapen is a nice product but its ridiculously OVERPRICED. Do yourself a favor and search for "flip-stick thermometer" on Google. "Control Company" makes almost the exact same product and it's available for much less. These "flip-stick thermometer" are re-branded by VWR and Fisher and are available from many sources on the web. There are two models with accuracy of ±1.0°C between -20 and 100°C for ~$29 or accuracy of ±0.3°C between -20 and 100°C for ~$50. These are accurate, trusty worthy thermometers that are used in research labs all over the world. I have both the thermapen and a control company model from VWR (bought at Optics Planet). No difference and the VWR is only $30.
A wonderful way to improve cooking results! July 22, 2010

We received our new Thermapen and have used it a number of times. Especially cooking meats, it helps us turn things out perfectly off our range or grill (we like meats medium rare, so we want to be sure it's done enough but not overcooked!) It's expensive, but absolutely worth the price, so much better than any of the thermometers we've used before of all kinds.
Thermopen worth the investment July 20, 2010

I purchased this digital instant (really!) read thermometer as a gift for my husband and his barbequeing endeavors;he loves it.
I have used it numerous times to check the temperature of bread dough and the internal temperature of the finished,baked loaf;it reads in a fraction of a second.
Pricey, but worth it. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Sweet. July 20, 2010

This pen is freaking awesome. Instant readings (well almost) I highly recommend. Works great for a smoker; it is so fast to read that you hardly lose any heat.
Expensive but exceptional. July 15, 2010

This thermometer works very well, even on items are are very thin or very small, because the sensor is at the very tip. And the tip is sharp! It appears to be well made. My only complaint so far is that it costs so much.
