Thermapen Food Thermometer Probes
The UK's Best Kitchen Thermometer Probes
What is a food probe thermometer?
A food probe is an essential tool for professional chefs and home cooks alike. They provide an instant reading of the core temperature of any liquid or semi-solid food, ensuring it's both safely and perfectly cooked. You can use a food probe to perfect everything from grilled steaks and Sunday roasts to cakes, bakes and confectionery.
What to look for in a food

When shopping for a kitchen cooking thermometer, you want to look for a few things:
A food probe needs to be fast. Some foods like steak can become overcooked in seconds. So, if you're waiting ages for your thermometer readings to stabilise, your food can easily become overdone. Aim for three-second readings or less.
The Thermapen ONE reads temperatures in one second, and the Classic reads them in three.
Accuracy is essential for making sure your food is safe and spot-on. Especially for foods that require precise temperatures, like confectionery.
The Thermapen One is accurate to ±0.3 °C and the Classic to ±0.4 °C. Unlike most thermometers, they come with a calibration certificate that proves it’s been calibration to a professional standard. It's one of the many benefits of choosing a food probe designed for chefs and handmade in Britain.
You also want to ensure that your thermometer stays accurate. With Thermapen’s two- and five-year guarantees, you can rest assured that if something goes wrong, you’ll be able to get it repaired in the UK.
Like any other kitchen tool, a food probe temperature probe is prone to getting dirty and damaged. So design matters.
You don't have to worry about spills, rainy BBQs or hygiene with Thermapen; the One is fully waterproof and the Classic is splashproof. The durable folding design keeps them protected against damage, while the sleek buttonless operation is quick, easy and hygienic.

Found what I had been looking for, very informative website also glad it is British made. Very easy to order very speedy delivery. Used it almost straight away out of the box, have only had it about a week but have used it a lot.
It is instant in its readings unlike others I have used which take an age
to settle at a reading.

I bought the Thermapen ONE to replace a cheaper brand version and you can immediately see the difference in performance. This thing is seriously quick and accurate. Chuck the others out and buy 1 good one!

I recently purchased the Thermapen ONE. Having in my possession a few other food thermometers. And of all of my purchases this piece of equipment blows the others out of the water for speed accuracy functions and overall feeling in the hand. It's my go to thermometer from now on.

Why invest in a cook's thermometer?
Packet instructions and cooking times usually overestimate the time it takes for meat to cook. Plus, how often have you felt unsure whether your meat was done, cutting into it and putting it in for a little longer just to be certain?
With a temperature probe, you can only cook your food for as long as you need to, and be 100% sure it's done in seconds.
Armed with a precise and reliable kitchen cooking thermometer, you're ready to take on any cooking challenge. Medium-rare steaks and chocolate tempering become a breeze, and you'll always know when they're perfectly done.
Everyone wants to be completely confident that their food is safe to eat. But knowing it's still succulent and not overdone is even better. Using a food probe thermometer is the only way to strike that sweet spot.
Thermapen thermometers are designed and made with quality in mind. Handmade in Britain, each Thermapen undergoes 13 quality checks before sale. They’re calibrated in a UK laboratory to national standards and are provided with a certificate to show this. In addition, their robust designs are backed up with lengthy guarantees — because they’re designed to last for years to come.
No, Thermapens are not designed to be left in the oven. Make sure not to leave your Thermapen on hot surfaces, or it could melt. Take care to not let the case get too hot when measuring food over a grill or BBQ.

The Thermapen Classic is splashproof so can handle splashes and spills. The Thermapen ONE is waterproof which means it can be submerged in water for a thorough cleaning. Do not put your Thermapen in the dishwasher as neither model is dishwasher safe.
