TempPro TP01A Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking Candle Liquid Deep Frying Oil Candy, Kitchen Food Instant Read Thermometer with Super Long Probe, Backlit, Lock Function (Previously ThermoPro)

I've been looking for a deal on an inexpensive meat thermometer to replace the old Taylor (bottom in pic) one I've had for ages. The Taylor one was well made and lasted for well over a decade, however it was banged up pretty badly during our last Thanksgiving dinner when we accidentally put it back into the oven with the Turkey. While the thermometer still works, the plastic was warped enough that the battery cap would not stay in place anymore. I picked up the ThermoPro TP01A for under ten dollars and for the price, I am quite satisfied. The probe is 2 inches longer than my old Taylor, which comes in handy for larger food items (Hams and Turkeys). The temperature read is definitely faster, perhaps a second or two difference which is a plus. The downside is that it uses 2 batteries versus 1 for the Taylor. However, this might just mean it lasts longer than the Taylor as the overall functions between the two are the same and I can't imagine the electronics are vastly different. I like the option of the indigo backlight, which is also helpful especially when used at night and in the oven where light might be scarce. I wish there were a better cap (instead of the plastic cover that will easily be lost), or a way to clip it to something. But for all the bells and whistles, I'd have to pay a bit more which I'm not interested in doing. For anyone looking for a simple, fast and inexpensive meat thermometer, the ThermoPro TP01A is a solid purchase.

I like the longer probe. Works well and easy to use and read in F or C

Was provided the product by the seller to review, but this is my honest feedback: Bottom Line - Nice meat thermometer for the price of ~$10, the temperature seems accurate and registers very quickly (2-3 seconds), the display is a little small but still easy to read and backlit, the buttons are easy to use/understand and it come with a protective cap for the pointy end. Would recommend ThermoPro based on first impressions, can't speak to it longevity but don't expect any issues. Full review below. The thermometer arrived quickly and in good shape, well package with an instruction book and customer service contact card. Simply pulled the plastic tab at the battery compartment and turned on with a nice backlit display. I was cycling it from Celsius to Fahrenheit (because I'm in 'merica) and the display reset on me (like a power cycle). I fidgeted with the buttons and it did it again. At this point I took the battery compartment door off and reseated both button batteries and it has been fine since. 1. Don't just pull the plastic tab, take the time to open the battery compartment and remove the plastic and make sure the batteries all fully reseat. Once I had it working I tested it out at room temperature, my thermostat read 78 deg and the TP01A was reading right around 79 deg, so first check pretty good. I cycled power (hold down the power button for three seconds to turn off) and it was coming in around 80 deg but dropped back down to around 79 deg. Next, tested it in the toaster oven against another name brand meat thermometer we have used for years. I was just comparing readings of the hot air (don't put these things in the oven as I am sure the plastic would melt) and it was pulling in right beside my other thermometer (within a degree) and even got there a little quicker. Second check passed. So now I am putting this in some chicken with my other thermometer right beside it and the TP01A was quick to register the temperature, while the name brand took another few seconds to get there, they both settled on a temp that was within a degree of each other so I call that pretty good. Overall happy with the performance of this thermometer.

Great value. Worked great. Nice clear digital display and also lights to help see the readings. The only thing I didn't like was that when I placed the thermometer into the hot wax, the reading raised from low to high in increments instead of the instant hottest reading.

Affordable and works

I purchased this for myself 3 years ago. Now I buy them as gifts for everyone I know who cooks or grills. It's a good thermometer. Accurate and easy to use. Batteries are long lasting and replaceable. You get a temperature reading in 2-3 seconds and it's easy to see. Great value for the money.

Good thermometer but if it gets wet it will not work. While it was functional it was great at providing instant temp on meat products. However, a household member washed the entire thermometer which is not water-tight. The display screen became cloudy and illegible.

Exceptional customer service. Mine malfunctioned shortly after receiving it. Years later, I came across the manual and decided to call the company for kicks. They sent me out an upgraded replacement well after my original warranty was expired.

Having a food thermometer allows me to accurately cook food so I don't overcook them. This thermometer is perfect, works well, and does all I need.

Buen precio y buena calidad

This is fantastic. I use it with meat, oil, milk, stews and even baked items to check the inside temperature. It is instant and you get the reading the moment you poke it in.

Firstly delivery was super fast, and secondly the product is exactly as described and I’ve already used it on chicken and it works really well.

must have for bakers, has all the features you need - backlight, C and F readings. Can't speak to the accuracy as I don't have any to compare to but it seems pretty accurate, haven't had any problems. Compact and easy to clean and has a cover for the tip to protect.
