ThermoPro TP15 Waterproof Instant Read Food Thermometer, Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking and Grilling, Backlight Kitchen Thermometer, BBQ Smoker Cooking Thermometer with Probe Calibration

This thermometer gives an accurate temperature within around 3 seconds, and I like the calibration feature, which my prior thermometer didn't have. I also like that it has a button to turn on the backlight, so you can read it in all kinds of light.This thermometer is so sensitive, that when you push or pull the probe past the center of the meat, the reading will go up, so you can really tell if the probe is in the center. I really like this thermometer!

The first TP-15 that I received did not register the temps accurately. The ice water test never got below 41.6 F. I "keyed" to the temp problem when a meatloaf that I was cooking never registered hotter that 71.4 F. in my gas oven that was set for 425 F. and had been cooking my food for almost 30 minutes; which was plenty of time for the beef to be about done to 160 to 165 degrees F. which was my "target" temp. I soon received an email from ThermoPro asking how I liked my TP-15 and if everything was alright with the unit. I replied by describing the huge error in temp readings. The gentleman who was emailing me replied by asking me to verify my shipping address because they were processing a replacement unit to send to me. I sent the info and he answered back that the replacement unit was being shipped I received that replacement in no time at all. I had also asked him how I was to return the defective one and he said that I did not have to return it. I'm currently giving THIS TP-15 a four-star rating because it was so inaccurate. I took the average of the total number of stars I'd given which resulted in3.6, the rounded UP which gives 4 When the replacement unit arrives and it tests out correctly, as it should, then I will return to this posting and update it. I fully expect to be able to kick it up to 5-star rating because the manufacturer, Thempro builds excellent quality thermometers. This TP-15 is solidly built. NO loose probe; the body has NO looseness at the seam, etc. The pressure buttons and the read-out screen are firmly set in place with no movements except the necessary movements of the button in use.Now, let's talk about the winers and complainers who've posted negative comments about ThermoPro having a terrible warrentee. I'll bet you a dollar to a doughnut hole that they registered their units with Amazon. The owners booklet specifically states that the units MUST BE REGISTERED ON THE MANUFACTURER'S WEBSITE NOT AMAZON. Did you people get that? Amazon is an intermediary in the sales process. They are NOT a warrentee insurer. I registered my TP-15 AND my TP-17, dual probe thermometers ON THE MANUFACTURER'S WEBSITE just as the owner's manuals told me to do. I've gotten so sick and tired of the winers and complainers who simply do not read directions and want to blame the manufacturers. I'm 71 years old and have had a belly full of those people. I think they're called "snowflakes" in today's vernacular, but MY name for them is quite different and Amazon probably wouldn't allow me to post what I really call them. lololol. Anyway, folks. Buy ThermoPro's products, register them on THEIR website, and you'll be happy campers. ThermoPro stands firmly behind their products. If there's some problem with a unit, they'll correct the situation.....and quickly. Oh, and my TP-17 Dual Probe thermometer registered a consistant 32 F. on both probes in repeated ice water tests. It registered 1 C. on each of those tests, but I do not worry about one lousy degree C. I do not use the Celsius scale on anything. I only use the Fahrenheit scales. The only people who might want or need that one degree Celsius would be some research laboratory. My kitchen is not a laboratory although some folks might think it is. lolololI am returning to upgrade my review to a 5-star because of the excellent response that I've received from the seller. ThermoPro immediately shipped a replacement TP-15 just as soon as I contacted them about the bad first unit. I had followed their instructions about registering my TP-15 on their manufacturer's website (which took all of 30 seconds or less) and they fixed my problem right away, just as they advertise. THANK YOU THERMOPRO. This new unit is working as it should and I can now have a fast read on the meat temps while I'm monitoring the cooking with my ThermoPro TP-17 Dual Probe meat thermometer. The absolutely best of both worlds. I plan to order their grill mat next. This company absolutely stands by their products, so I have no reservations about buying any other of their products.BUY ThermoPro...........excellent products from an excellent company. And I do NOT have any connection with ThermoPro except for being a well satisfied customer and a repeat customer at that.

This thermometer is easy to poke into your BBQing meat on the grill (I use propane). I'll occasionally flip the meat to cook the other side. A big plus is the desired temperature shows in a printed list on the backside. Easy to get it right for whatever is on your grill. Yum.

Seems to be made well. Very easy to read screen. Nice temperature lock feature so you don't have to stick your face in the oven to know the temperature. Works very well. I am pleased with this thermometer. Very accurate product description. Fast shipping.

No more cutting into meat to see if it’s done. Easy to use. Super easy to read day or night. One of those things you say to yourself “Why didn’t I get this a long time ago? “ love it 👍🏼

Also the magnet is convenient to stick it to a grill shelf.

So easy to get an asurate reading.food safety is a priority in our kitchen. Thanks for the help.

I purched these for work in a kitchen. They have held up longer then many others we have had. Still work perfectly after being put through the dishwasher ( low temp commercial restaurant not home ). Can be a pain figuring out how it got from F to C and getting it switched back. It is an adjustment going from typical ones that have sensors higher up the probe. Would purchase again.

I really didn't want to buy this because it was so cheap. I'm pleasantly surprised and really glad I didn't spend more and even got it on discount. I've only had it a couple weeks though and don't use it often. I tested the accuracy on boiling and cold ice water and it performed fast enough and within 2 degrees. I did not have to re-calibrate it out of the box. The only thing I don't like is that it's pretty impossible to read without the light on which turns off separate from the on off (15ish seconds?). I would just prefer they made the light stay on all the time especially when you're bringing something to temp (eg. chocolate, candies, water for yeast). I don't use it without the light. Switching between C and F is easy enough too. I usually buy the mid expensive option vs the really cheap option for most things but in this case the cheapest option seems better than the mid range. I have hope this will last a while too.

I bought this thermometer probe before buying another one due to the lack of being able to actually fold or retract the needle. If you use this indoors at home and have a place to store it (like a fridge door, since it is magnetized), then it's not much of an issue. However, if you need to bring it around, it's nicer to buy a probe with a foldable needle. Compared to an analog probe, this digital reader is much much faster, but there are other digital ones that are even faster at significantly higher priced.For some people it's not a big deal, but since buying my other probe, this one is lacking some features even at similar price range. The screen is bright since it has a light on capability and the digits are readable, but the display does not reorient itself if you go upside down. The needle itself cannot retract so there is a rubber tip protector to avoid poking yourself.The probe is sufficiently long enough to temp read most food between 3-5 seconds without feeling too hot on your hands, but if the grill or stove is very hot, you would't want to hold your hand there for too long.

Bought this item In May, and shortly after it stopped working, I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement. I used it about 10-12 times and the replacement stopped working as well. Sadly I cannot figure out how to contact them directly about this so I will leave a review. Amazingly we have a non-waterproof one that has we bought before this one and it is still working....

Enfin le TP-15 est disponible au Canada. Il est parfait pour le BBQ: assez long et assez rapide pour ne pas se brûler les doigts. Son affichage est en continu, donc on sait rapidement quelle est la température atteinte quand on voit que les augmentations ne se font qu'en dixième de degrés. La pointe est fine, donc la viande saigne moins lors des prises de mesure. Finalement il est facilement lavable car à l'épreuve de l'eau.

Have used this several times since I received it recently. Am very pleased with it. It came with a battery & was fully calibrated, so I could begin using it right away. It is easy to use & the temperature is easy to read. Can't believe we waited until now to get a good food thermometer.
