Which thermometer/thermocouple probe?

[Anonymous Modernist 4821]

Looking to get the extech EA10 K-type or similar, but dammed if I can find any information on the correct probe to get.

Obviously it needs to be a penetrating probe. Is the TP882 what I should be looking at? It's 3.3mm in diametre which I guess is fine for meat etc, but for sous vide I guess I'm looking for something finer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. What boxes do I need to be ticking here?

Regards

I'd imagine you can use any k-type probe with that thermometer, the only variables I expect would be temperature rating and maybe accuracy of reading? That thing is rated to 538°C so you should be safe for anything you plan to do in the kitchen! here's one I found on Amazon while looking up what an EA10 was http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-K-Type-Thermocouple-Insertion/dp/B005OXQUOI/

I have found probes with diameter 1/16" but I'm not sure if it's suitable for measuring core temperature of souvide fish or if I should look for thinner probe. Does anybody know what is the diameter of the probe shown on page 197 in MC at home? Does Sper Scientific makes this probe? Because it looks very thin.
