ThermoPro APT200 Meat Thermometer for Cooking with Extra-Large 2-Inch Dial, Analog Dial Food Cooking Thermometer with 5.1" Stainless Steel Probe for Poultry, Ham, Pork, Beef and Lamb

Just love this temperature gauge. I don't know how I managed without it.It's accurate and works well letting me know that my food is cooked through.It's size is perfect, fits in the drawer taking up almost no space.

I bought this ThermoPro APT200 analog meat thermometer for my niece who’s in culinary school, and it’s been a great tool for her. The analog design is simple, reliable, and often more consistent than digital thermometers, especially for getting quick, accurate readings without worrying about batteries. It’s a tried-and-true method that every aspiring chef should have in their toolkit.

I had one of thise older analog round meat thermometers and that’s what i used for grilling and determining the temperature of liquids when baking or melting chocolate. They were a pain. They took forever to read out a stable temp and they always left me questioning the accuracy of the measurement since they did dumb stuff like for example showing 100 degrees when you pulled it out of its box. When i started using this little gem I was amazed by its ability to almost instantly display the temperature of the probe and of the apparent accuracy. You pull it out of the box and push the button and voila, its reads out the temperature of the room you are in! Put it into a cooking steak, pork chop or grilled salmon and you instantly get a stable and accurate reading of the internal temp of the item. You can easily switch between Fahrenheit and Centigrade if you have the need. So much better than the old analog style meat thermometer. Because of its quickness and convenience I find myself using it in situations where i would have previously skipped using a thermometer and just tried to guess. I am catching some potential mistakes that way. I bought this one for my brother in law whom i saw struggling with his old analog thermometer as a small gift. A had bought one for myself years ago and it is still going strong on the same battery.

Works fine

I’m really impressed with the ThermoPro TP025 Digital Food Thermometer. The extra-long stainless steel probe is perfect for safely checking temperatures on the grill, in the oven, or deep inside large roasts without getting too close to the heat. It gives quick, accurate readings in just a few seconds, which makes cooking so much easier and more precise.The backlit display is bright and easy to read, even in dim lighting, and the foldable design makes it super convenient to store in a drawer or take on the go.Overall, it’s a solid, reliable kitchen tool that’s become a must-have for me. Great quality for the price, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone who cooks at home or outdoors!

I appreciate the easy slide on cover for the “needle” it protects the thermometer in my drawer of kitchen gadgets. All I need in a digital thermometer. Simple, a button for power and a button for Celsius/Fahrenheit.

easy to read. quality build. display easy to see

This thermometer works well (only tried it once) and appears accurate, but is difficult to read. It's my own fault for not reading the description carefully, as I thought the digital display was illuminated (back it), which it is not. As a result, I am returning it. I'd give it more stars if the display were illuminated.
