I’m six feet tall, so not vertically challenged, but it’s more comfortable to put things into the container when it’s on the base. The handle is very nicely finished (see attached pics) the brushed finish gives it a bit of texture, so not slippery. It weighs 3 lbs 6 1/8 oz (1.342kg). I just put a couple of cups of water in and tipped it on its side, zero leakage around the rim, of course the center cap is not sealed, only for splash protection. The other thing that I really like is the way it fits on the base, there’s not that looseness that the plastic has, it’s not tight or stuck feeling, just a properly fitted snugness, doesn’t do that partial rotation when turned on and not as tippy/loose.

 

 

Thanks for the great description and excellent pictures. They have helped me decide to get the SS container ... now I need to find a deal as $200 is a bit steep for something I don't need. I'll keep an eye on Amazon and Vitamix.

 

Edited to add that Costco sells 'em for $160.00 including shipping when they're available.

Not sure these count as "fun," but we replaced our old sheet pans and racks with new ones for Christmas.

 

Out with the old:

Did the change in battery type affect the size of the thermometer at all?

 

I've not measured exactly, but the One is very, very close to the Mk. 3 in size.  But I'll note that Thermoworks warns that the silicone boot for Mk. 3 will not fit the One.

I appreciate your response and it gives me a starting point.  I don't see the Mk. 3 on the 'Works site, and the only size reference I have is to my thermometer, which is fairly old, perhaps the first model? It's at least 11 years old, with no backlight, no rotating face, and with button batteries.

 

Soon after purchasing my unit, I discovered that it would be nice to have the backlit and rotating face, but it made no sense to replace it so soon after purchasing. Now, many years later, and with the new model on sale, would be a good time to upgrade.

 

I called ThermoWorks and got the information I wanted and will probably upgrade. One thing that's holding me back is that I'm also considering a wireless temperature probe.

No problem.
