Reliable Probe Thermometers

FWW I ordered this 2 probe model with alarm, although I might have been tempted by the IR/probe one, had I noticed it. I just ordered one thermocouple - the needle probe with a metre lead. It seems to me that will be more versatile than a pen and I like the idea of being able to replace the thermocouple.

I have a love of subcultures and think it is great that BBQ is market niche worth targeting.

I still have and use the very first Thermapen I bought - I thought it was rather expensive but I was fed up with inaccurate probe thermometers and ones that failed to work when needed and usually at times when it would have been impossible to run out and buy a replacement.

That first one still works and so do all of the others I have purchased from Thermoworks - including the high/low ALARM probe that I use for yogurt as it it much easier to listen for the alarm instead of testing the temp of the milk every few minutes...

The remote probe oven thermometers are very accurate also. I have used it on all types of meats and testing against the Thermapen after the meat is out of the oven shows almost identical results.

Considering that my original Thermapen outlasted at least a dozen of the type I had used in the past, it has been a real bargain.
