Why People Love Thermapen
This is one of the best purchases in my kitchen: thermapen is very fast to read temperature, it is very easy to clean and store. I used it to check flour, water and sourdough temperature when proofing. I was worried that poking the dough would make it collapse, nothing like that. This tool really helped me to achieve better results in the kitchen.

Wow.. why did I wait so long in purchasing? I purchased 2 pens one for myself and one for a Christmas gift. Extremely satisfied. My Christmas Turkey was cooked to perfection. Clear readings and easy to use

Nice recommended
Bought this after acquiring an air fryer and wanted to ensure meat was properly cooked. Could have bought one for half the price but wouldn’t have been confident I was getting an accurate reading. The fact that everyone of these is calibrated and has the certification to go with it warranted the extra money in my opinion. The readings are fast and clear and as I’ve already said I’m confident they’re accurate. However it is really quite stiff to open out, to the point that although you want to open it from the furthest point from the base because of that, I’m not confident it wouldn’t bend. I did phone and report this but got the answer that it’ll free off in time. I’m only using it once a week so I opened and closed it about 30 times to represent 6 months use and it was no different. I wonder if a few drops of a silicone lubricant might ease it a bit but of course I’d need to okay that first in case it might void the warranty. I will say though that this wouldn’t stop me recommending it as I do feel an accurate reading is a must when cooking meats especially.
It's great to receive a trusted product for home baking. As a scientist it is fun to experiment with baking and know you have good clean simple to use tools to support that.
Easy to use and keep clean. I find it helpful when using the air fryer.
I bought the green thermapen classic to replace my 15 year old (yes, 15 years -- who gets to say that about anything these days?) thermapen classic. It's sturdy, reliable, the digits are big, and, yes, it tells the temperature accurately. I can't recommend highly enough.
