ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE, No. 1 Recommended Instant-Read Thermometer - Cayenne Pepper Red

This thing is a BEAST. First and foremost, its main feature: speed. This thing reads as close to instantaneously as any thermometer possibly could. The ONE in the name is for “one second,” and I would say its read time is even faster than that. After tons of frustration with how slow cheaper thermometers were, I finally splurged on this and it was worth every penny. Besides its superb accuracy and speed, it has all the bells and whistles. Stuff I didn’t even know I wanted. It automatically powers on and off when you slide the arm away from / back into the base. It has a huge, backlit, highly readable screen. It has an internal gyroscope that automatically switches the screen to any of 4 directions so that you can read it no matter what angle you’re holding it. It’s built like a tank. It’s IP67 water resistant. This is the endgame of kitchen thermometers. It’s expensive, but it’s worth every penny and then some.

This meat thermometer has totally streamlined my cooking routine! I love that it automatically turns on the second you open it and shuts off when you close it — no buttons to mess with, no remembering to power it down. It just works, and it’s so intuitive. The readout is fast and easy to read, and I’ve found it to be super accurate — whether I’m checking chicken on the grill or a roast in the oven. The foldable design makes it compact and easy to store in my kitchen drawer without taking up extra space. It’s honestly one of those tools you don’t realize how much you’ll love until you start using it. If you’re tired of guessing doneness or overcooking just to be safe, grab this thermometer. It takes the guesswork out of everything!

This thermometer is touted as the go-to thermometer by many professional chefs. And it lives up to that expectation. I have a few different probe thermometers. Some were cheap, some cost more than this one. The thermopen overperforms all of them. The speed and accuracy of this tool is second to none.

The best BBQ thermometer on the market! Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up. The quality, accuracy, and functionality are unparalleled. I have been through a number of sub $100 "instant read" thermometers and none worked this well or even lasted beyond a few months.

I use internet-enabled wireless probes for many things I cook, but they are very finicky about what things they work with. For perfectly cooked food, a good instant read thermometer is an essential for liquids, things that are too thin to hold a probe, etc. After being disappointed by several highly-rated so-called instant read thermometers, I did extensive online research to find one that was fast enough to be called instant - with a typical response time of under one second. I was also tired of scorching my knuckles trying to hold a not-so-instant read thermometer over a hamburger on the grill or letting all the heat out of the oven to measure the temp of a salmon filet. Thermapen ONE is the one -and only - model I could find that performed outstandingly in all the independent reviews. When it arrived it proved the reviews to be right. Indeed it is fast - fast enough for the term instant not to stretch the truth too far. So, in the real world, every product has downsides. For the Thermapen ONE, the feature that turns the display so it is easier to read at different angles really doesn't work that well. Sometimes it is in the right side up and sometimes it is upside down. I can live with that for a fast, accurate reading. The backlight that is supposed to come on to make it easier to read when the light is low is a bit unpredictable. Sometimes it turns on when I insert the thermometer then turns off as I am reading the temperature. Again, this is something I can live with for a truly fast temperature reading. This certainly isn't the cheapest thermometer on the market, but I spent more than it cost on several supposedly fast thermometers that simply didn't work very well. I feel it is a great value for the money - especially when it keeps me from ruining meat or fish by over or under cooking, or from steaming my knuckles trying to get a sauce to the perfect temperature.

Absolutely perfect tool. Lightening speed, perfect accuracy, no thinking required. I can’t imagine how this could even be improved! Very happy!

an absolute must. I learned the hardware to cook based on temperature vs how something looks, especially with Chicken. I love the temperature accuracy, how easy it is to use, and its' durability - I bought it as a replacement for a similar unit that pulled apart. Fits well in your hand, turns on and off on its' own and is easy to read.

Very nice for cooking. Helps when grilling meat to ensure complete cooking.

安くないけど、即座に温度がわかるメリットは大きいです。ステーキや魚を焼くとき、正確に1度単位で分かります。熱電対や室温や利用者の手の温度のキャリブレーションの仕組みなど、理系的には感動的なのも、ツール所有欲を地味に満たしてくれています。 ステーキの内部は53度か54度がミディアムレア、お店で食べるレベルにすぐなれますよ。

LOVE my Thermapen ONE. Accurate, fast, and wicked expensive but I recommend it. Wish it was easier to switch between C and F but it’s the best thermometer I’ve ever owned. I used to buy cheap thermometers that would stop working after a few months. Would buy again and highly recommend.

Accurate. Quick. Waterproof. Turn on when you pick it up. Quality product which is worth the price.

Finally a thermometer that actually works. No stabbing a big long thermometer into a chicken, turkey or piece of beef, trying to avoid bones and find the right spot for an accurate temp read. This is amazing. And to date has been absolutely accurate in terms of the perfect (or desired temp that you want) for every piece of poultry or beef we have used it on. Excellent product and Seller.

ThermoWorks makes the best thermometers. If you want the best, fastest, most accurate instant read thermometer, this is it. These make a great gift for anyone who likes to cook, or anyone who can’t cook but bless their hear they keep trying!
