 Sooo much better than dials October 16, 2008

I see some people talking about the Thermopen and that's good, but America's Test Kitchen recently changed their recommendation to this model I think, so I decided to give it a try. I'm not disappointed at all.
I used to use "instant read" dial thermos, which have two problems. First of all they're very slow, 10-30 seconds. Second of all, they use a very long sensor, which is in the first 1-2 inches of the probe. That makes it tricky to know if you have the probe in far enough on big cuts, and tricky to get into small cuts at all.
By contrast, the CDN digital thermometer is very fast, only a couple seconds before the reading levels off. It seems accurate although I don't think I've put this one in boiling water yet.
The probe is great, it's the type that only needs the bottom centimeter or so stuck in, which makes it easier to be in the center of a cutlet or something other than a 1-1/2" thick steak. It's great for those too though. :-)
This will continue to be my trusted tool of choice for a long time to come, and in the case that it breaks, it's cheap enough that I won't be too terribly sad.

My old analog thermeter wouldn't read high enough temperatures. This one goes plenty high for anything I need. Easy to calibrate, operate, and clean. Reaches actual temperature in seconds and has a sharp point. I like it and it's way cheaper than than that real expensive one.

hello, i watch the americas test kitchen on public television. i always wanted a digital thermometor and the one they always recomended was a therma pen, which goes for about $90.00. sorry i couldnt afford one. so recently they tested a bunch of more affordable ones. this is the model that won the test for accuracy and readability. so i was happy to purchase this one,which is very affordable. thanks

This item forms part of a wide ranging collection of cooking thermometers. Certainly not 'instant read', but the small probe seems to work more quickly than other's I've used. Display is easy to read. Re-calibration feature is a neat 'plus'. This is not the right tool for monitoring cooking oil or any application where it will be in close contiunous proximity to heat (there are other cool tools for that).

This is a good little thermometer. I tested its accuracy in ice-water and boiling water. It registers a temperature in 5 - 10 seconds and is easy to read. The price is right, too.
