ThermoWorks ThermoPop 2 — Best Value Instant Read Thermometer - Cayenne Pepper Red

Preciso, buen producto

Over the years I bought several thermometer and all of them failed after a while. It is the only one that is still working while being the fastest and most accurate. I always recommend it to others when they are looking to purchase a food thermometer.

I really love this thing so far. I had a $15 TempPro folding one and it stopped folding and the probe fell out of the casing lol. Sooo I guess $15 is too little to spend on a thermometer. I really like how easy this one is to wash, like I don’t have to worry about it at all, and it’s a fairly instant read. It still struggles with bread and brownies and stuff, takes maybe 5-10 seconds to stabilize. Thermodynamically that’s understandable, I was just hoping for some magic I guess. Meat, maaaan it’s a whole different game. The TempPro would give me terrible reads, I think because the probe averaged over too much of its surface or something. So I always got a low reading and ended up overcooking. I gave up on using it. But this one is absolute pinpoint accuracy. You can get a really good feel of the thermal gradient in the meat. So basically all my chicken and steaks will come out perfectly forever. Using a thermometer is cheating to be fair but if there's one thing I've learned in life it's that cheating when there are no rules is usually a great idea. So yeah man I’d say it’s worth it especially if it ever goes on sale.

Yes, it looks plastic with its thermo-spike guard on but it's a fine cooking utensil! The power-on/off button is a bit hidden on the top and takes some force but works great - and you get used to it. The temperature read-out actually rotates in 90º increments (up/down/left-up/right-up) - what a fantastic feature as I don't have the sharpest eyes and remember twisting head & shoulders to read my old thermometer (which died when submerged in soapy water). Very fast reading temps and stays solid. Easy to use in my oven, on top of the stove and on the BBQ. A quality tool that is highly recommended.

Purchased for the large, easy to read display. I really like the speed and accuracy of the thermometer. I don't need a leave in option so this one fits the bill great.
