ThermoWorks Pro-Series Needle Probe for ChefAlarm and DOT

I'm giving this probe five stars because of it's flexibility. I purchased this cord for use with the ChefAlarm. The probe that comes standard with the ChefAlarm is quite rigid. Thus user needs to be very careful with the standard cord not to bend it or let the cord kink. This probe, with a silicon sheath will not have this problem.I'm also giving this five stars for how fast it takes the readings. I think that because the probe is skinner it is able to measure the temperature faster.The silicone encasing seems to be of good quality. I imagine I will get years of use out of this thing. I'll update over time if any thing pops up that would lead me to change my expectation.The only downside I could see of this probe relative to the one that comes with the ChefAlarm is that the max temperature is about 100degrees F lower than the one that comes with the alarm. However, the max temp is 482degrees. I don't usually cook things at that temperature, so this shouldn't be an issue.This would also be a good replacement probe if the original probe that came with your ChefAlarm was to break.

I have tried many manual thermometers to try and perfect my steaks on the grill. Medium Rare is so hard to achieve. I finally purchased the Thermoworks ChefAlarm and this probe (plus another style cooking probe) and I am finally cooking perfect steaks. The unit works great and by pulling the steaks off the grill when the temp alarm hits 128F, then letting them rest on a plate for another 3-4 minutes with the temp still being monitored, I hit my target of 135-138F and the steaks are perfect. Pink juicy center, not overcooked anywhere. A few more minutes gets me to Medium and medium well, so I can satisfy all my guests with consistently great results.

This probe is an improvement over the probe that came with my Theromworks Chef Alarm thermometer. It is thinner (making smaller holes) and the cord is coated so it doesn't fray (like my last one did). I recommend calibrating your thermometer if you change probes. Ice water should read 32F and boiling water 212F. Hold the CAL button for 5 seconds then use the arrow buttons to say how much you want to adjust it.

This needle probe is really handy. I've used it in yogurt making, checking my Thanksgiving turkey, and toffee making. Because it is covered in silicone, I didn't have to worry if the whole thing fell in my yogurt! In fact, I could just leave it there! I also love that I could shut the oven door on the wire with the probe on the inside and know the temperature on the thermometer outside. I love that the probe is so tiny that when I made toffee it didn't get in the way. No complaints.

is very thin and sharp enough to poke into most any piece of meat for spot checking (i just poke it in for a quick reading to make sure I've heated things enough for safety)... readings are fast and seem to be accurate. It is fully encased in soft plastic except for the tip and the plug so no need to worry about spilling things on it. Bought two just so I wouldn't have to hunt if I accidentally misplaced one.

I bought this item to go with my Chef Alarm and love it. The needle is thin and works nicely with the various meats and veggies that I cook. I like that it doesn't leave a large hole, so all the good juices drain out. It's much heavier quality than I have had before, so I think it will last a long time. The temperature reading is very quick, so you don't have to keep the oven door open for long period of times.

Seems like I would kill most other probes eventually either because of them getting splashed or steam saturating the cables. I don't have to worry at all about this immersible probe. It takes a reading in about 3-5 seconds. The probe included with the Chef Alarm is a little slower but just as accurate. The silicone cable is very soft and delicate. Be careful around clamps or other sharp edges. Overall a great upgrade for the Chef Alarm and a necessary one if homebrewing.

I specifically ordered this additional temp probe to use for taking the internal temp of baked goods. I found the thicker one that comes with the unit is a bit too heavy for the more delicate crumb of baked goods vs. meat. This one is very thin and light, and works perfectly when testing breads, cakes, etc. Same quality I've come to expect from Thermoworks as well.
