Customer Review: VERY COOL
Summary: 5 Stars
The Thermapen puts every other instant read thermometer I have owned to shame--- make 'em all look VERY SLOW by comparison. Pluses: it registers temperature almost instantaneously in a big clear digital readout, and it is perfectly accurate as far as I have been able to test. It looks cool, like a big jack knife. I believe my fudge is turning out better than it did when I used the old classic clip-on Taylor mercury thermometer because the Taylor is difficult to read (the temperature tick marks are TINY), I got a pain in the neck trying to judge when my fudge was reaching exactly 238 degrees. And the Taylor, in practice, is not as accurate because it is clipped to the side of the pan where you don't get a particularly accurate reading. Not so with the Thermapen because you can stick it into the center of the fudge pot where you get a much better and more representative temperature reading of the contents of the pan. If you like having really nice things (the best), and don't mind paying for it, you won't go wrong; I learned about the Thermapen from the guy at America's Test Kitchen (and Cook's Illustrated magazine). This is the thermometer he and his staff use and recommend. I almost gave it 4 stars because it can't be stuck in a roast and left in an oven, and it can't be programmed to alarm when a particular temperature is reached. But that would be unfair. This is an INSTANT READ THERMOMETER and it doesn't claim to do any of those other things. You stick it in, get your reading, and pull it out. So, it does what it is supposed to do, and it does it better than any other thermometer that I know of or have owned. It gets 5 stars.
TIP: If you're like me, you will check your new Thermapen for accuracy by dipping it into boiling water to see if it registers 212 degrees. Guess what? It may register something other than 212. Not to worry. Check your city's web site and see how far above sea level you are and at what temperature water boils in your locale. When I first tested it, my Thermapen read out at something other than 212, and I thought it was defective. I researched and discovered that water boils at a slightly different temperature where I live. And the Thermapen registers the correct temperature for my location.
TIP #2 I didn't buy the Thermapen storage case, but I found that it fits well in a "snack" size ziplock baggie, and that keeps it clean indoors, and dry outdoors.

Description of Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen - Instant Read Thermometer, Perfect for Barbecue, Home and Professional Cooking
The Super-Fast Thermapen has been a favorite among restaurant chains, health inspectors and quality managers worldwide. Hundreds of thousands are in use. The clever fold-away probe and the simple pocket design replace more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. This new generation Thermapen introduces a robust, splash-proof design with molded-in seals to protect the thermometer from wet hands and kitchen splashes. SPEED & ACCURACY - Even more accurate than before and slightly faster! Our proprietary circuit yields accuracies better than ±0.7¡F. That includes all errors! (many competitors don't include the probe error in their spec.) Each unit comes with a NIST-Traceable certificate of calibration showing test results for the individual thermometer. Resolution is now 0.1¡ over the full range. Improvements in the probe technology now yield a blazing fast speed of 3 seconds to a full temperature reading. NO CABLES! - The components most likely to fail in a commercial thermometer are the cable and its connector. Also, the typical handheld meter and probe combination requires two hands. What do you do with the cable when you're through with it? The competition want you to wrap it around the meter, which is time consuming and a natural trap for grime and bacteria! The one-handed Thermapen eliminates frayed cables, snags, germ traps and wasted time while freeing your second hand. SIMPLE OPERATION - Just open the probe and the Thermapen comes on. Close it and it shuts off. No buttons or switches to catch germs, confuse staff and cause errors. Configuration settings in the battery compartment allow management to easily set the Thermapen for ¡C or ¡F, read in tenths or whole degrees (0.1¡ or 1¡), and disable the auto-off for continuous readings till the probe is closed. Although likely to never be needed, a calibration trim button fine-tunes the unit calibration at a single temperature such as an ice-bath.Instant-Read
