Thermapen ONE, No. 1 Recommended Instant-Read Thermometer - Nautical Blue

It is probably the best instant read thermometer you can buy. If you have the spare cash and want a super nice thermometer you will love it. Cheaper alternatives still work good but work slower, this one reads instantly and accurately.

My old one gave out after 15 years. Not a bad run. Ordered this. It works as advertised and Thermapen repaired the old one at no charge as I had purchased this replacement at full price. That was beyond expectations. So now I have two. Sometimes you have to pay a premium price for a premium product with premium customer service. For me, this is one of those times.

This is by far the best meat thermometer we’ve ever had. It’s true - you get what you pay for. This thing is INSTANT and ACCURATE. It has made grilling so much better, and I’ve even used it a few times when cooking inside.As an aside: when we first got this, I opened it up and realized it immediately reads the room temp. So I walked into each room and what do you know, it was correct in every room (same as the Nest reading) - it even lowered 3° in the back bedroom that is always colder than the rest of the house. Pretty incredible.

Very accurate and easy to use.

The media could not be loaded. As someone who isn’t a professional chef but absolutely loves fancy tech and precise measurements, the Thermapen ONE has been a game changer for my kitchen. I appreciate tools that enhance my cooking experience rather than complicating it, and this thermometer does exactly that. It’s easy to see that this device will become a reliable kitchen companion for years to come.Unboxing the Thermapen ONE was a delight; it’s clear that the device is well-protected, with thoughtful details like a temperature guide for different types of food. It includes a thermometer calibration certificate was a pleasant surprise. I hadn’t previously considered the importance of calibration. It made me realize that my old thermometer, which I’ve used for years, might have been giving inaccurate readings all along. Oops.I decided to put the Thermapen ONE to the test by comparing it with my old thermometer using a cup of ice water. The difference was night and day—the Thermapen ONE provided a reading nearly ten times faster. Since then, I’ve used it to check the doneness of chicken, steak, and soup, and each time it has delivered swift, accurate results. It’s made cooking so much more efficient and enjoyable.The physical design of the Thermapen ONE is impressive too. It has a heftier feel compared to my old, cheaper, no-name brand thermometer, which makes it feel sturdy and durable. A really cool feature is the auto-on function—when I picked it up the second time, it instantly turned on with just a slight movement. The built-in accelerometer was an unexpected but welcome addition that makes using it even more seamless.At first glance, the Thermapen ONE’s price, which is about four times higher than my previous thermometer, might seem steep. But when I think about it, it’s really just the equivalent of a couple of backyard cookouts or a nice round of high-quality steaks. Those meals disappear quickly, but the Thermapen ONE feels like it’s built to last for many years. For the peace of mind and convenience it offers, I think it’s worth every penny.As for cons. I’m wondering if having an accelerometer will wear down the battery faster. Also, I bought one that is gray. And I’m thinking I should have bought a brighter color as the gray kind of blends in with my countertop, making it not as easy to locate in a hectic kitchen.

The Thermapen ONE may seem expensive, but after you've ruined a few $40 steaks or carved into a raw turkey breast using a cheap inaccurate thermometer, you'll say it's a bargain. I've gone thru dozens of thermometers in my 60+ years of cooking and wish I'd had this from the start.

Second one I've purchased for another kitchen. Best thermometer for cooking I've ever used.

The best and fastest thermometer. It reads accurately and instantly.
