TempPro TP01A Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking Candle Liquid Deep Frying Oil Candy, Kitchen Food Instant Read Thermometer with Super Long Probe, Backlit, Lock Function (Previously ThermoPro)

I've been looking for a deal on an inexpensive meat thermometer to replace the old Taylor (bottom in pic) one I've had for ages. The Taylor one was well made and lasted for well over a decade, however it was banged up pretty badly during our last Thanksgiving dinner when we accidentally put it back into the oven with the Turkey. While the thermometer still works, the plastic was warped enough that the battery cap would not stay in place anymore. I picked up the ThermoPro TP01A for under ten dollars and for the price, I am quite satisfied. The probe is 2 inches longer than my old Taylor, which comes in handy for larger food items (Hams and Turkeys). The temperature read is definitely faster, perhaps a second or two difference which is a plus. The downside is that it uses 2 batteries versus 1 for the Taylor. However, this might just mean it lasts longer than the Taylor as the overall functions between the two are the same and I can't imagine the electronics are vastly different. I like the option of the indigo backlight, which is also helpful especially when used at night and in the oven where light might be scarce. I wish there were a better cap (instead of the plastic cover that will easily be lost), or a way to clip it to something. But for all the bells and whistles, I'd have to pay a bit more which I'm not interested in doing. For anyone looking for a simple, fast and inexpensive meat thermometer, the ThermoPro TP01A is a solid purchase.

Was provided the product by the seller to review, but this is my honest feedback: Bottom Line - Nice meat thermometer for the price of ~$10, the temperature seems accurate and registers very quickly (2-3 seconds), the display is a little small but still easy to read and backlit, the buttons are easy to use/understand and it come with a protective cap for the pointy end. Would recommend ThermoPro based on first impressions, can't speak to it longevity but don't expect any issues. Full review below. The thermometer arrived quickly and in good shape, well package with an instruction book and customer service contact card. Simply pulled the plastic tab at the battery compartment and turned on with a nice backlit display. I was cycling it from Celsius to Fahrenheit (because I'm in 'merica) and the display reset on me (like a power cycle). I fidgeted with the buttons and it did it again. At this point I took the battery compartment door off and reseated both button batteries and it has been fine since. 1. Don't just pull the plastic tab, take the time to open the battery compartment and remove the plastic and make sure the batteries all fully reseat. Once I had it working I tested it out at room temperature, my thermostat read 78 deg and the TP01A was reading right around 79 deg, so first check pretty good. I cycled power (hold down the power button for three seconds to turn off) and it was coming in around 80 deg but dropped back down to around 79 deg. Next, tested it in the toaster oven against another name brand meat thermometer we have used for years. I was just comparing readings of the hot air (don't put these things in the oven as I am sure the plastic would melt) and it was pulling in right beside my other thermometer (within a degree) and even got there a little quicker. Second check passed. So now I am putting this in some chicken with my other thermometer right beside it and the TP01A was quick to register the temperature, while the name brand took another few seconds to get there, they both settled on a temp that was within a degree of each other so I call that pretty good. Overall happy with the performance of this thermometer.

I like the longer probe. Works well and easy to use and read in F or C

Works well

I purchased this for myself 3 years ago. Now I buy them as gifts for everyone I know who cooks or grills. It's a good thermometer. Accurate and easy to use. Batteries are long lasting and replaceable. You get a temperature reading in 2-3 seconds and it's easy to see. Great value for the money.

So far this instant thermometer is the best and most accurate thermometer I own. It is nice and compact but still easy to read the temperature.

If you have ever tried to check the temperature of a Thanksgiving turkey or a bubbling vat of frying oil and felt like your knuckles were being auditioned for a "char-broiled" special, the TempPro TP01A is your new best friend. Formerly known as ThermoPro, this little wand packs a serious punch with its 5.3-inch super long probe. It’s designed to keep your hands far away from the heat while providing an instant-read measurement that takes the guesswork out of whether your chicken is "perfectly juicy" or "accidentally a hockey puck." The quality is sturdy enough for the daily kitchen grind, and the backlit display is a lifesaver for those dimly lit grill sessions or checking the temp of a candle-making project. Functionality is where this tool really shines. It features a "Lock" button that allows you to freeze the temperature on the screen, so you can pull the probe out of the steam to read it comfortably without the number jumping around. This is particularly handy for deep frying or candy making where precision is the difference between caramel and a burnt mess. Installation is as simple as popping in the battery and flipping it on; the instructions are straightforward and won't require a weekend seminar to master. For the price, the value is unbeatable—it's a professional-grade feel for a "fast-food" budget. Whether you're a BBQ pitmaster or a weekend baker, this is the reliable, no-nonsense tool that ensures you never serve a "rare" surprise again

It worked wonderfully when I used it.

Having a food thermometer allows me to accurately cook food so I don't overcook them. This thermometer is perfect, works well, and does all I need.

This is fantastic. I use it with meat, oil, milk, stews and even baked items to check the inside temperature. It is instant and you get the reading the moment you poke it in.

Firstly delivery was super fast, and secondly the product is exactly as described and I’ve already used it on chicken and it works really well.

Ha funcionado muy bien después de mucho tiempo de uso. Es suficientemente

This instant-read meat thermometer is a great little tool! It's simple to use, accurate, and very affordable. It's perfect for checking the temperature of meat while cooking, ensuring that it's cooked to perfection every time. If you're looking for a basic but reliable thermometer, I'd definitely recommend this one.
