Expensive - but well worth the price July 8, 2008
This thermometer is well more than twice the price of others so I resisted buying one for years. But after finally succumbing, I can say it is well worth the price. The near-instant reading is very satisfying and gives you the opportunity to probe several sites in, say, a whole chicken. My only suggestion is that they offer a left-handed model - invariably I deploy it initially with my left hand only to discover (yet again) that the display is on the bottom.

Must have July 3, 2008
If you're serious about cooking you must have one of these in your kitchen. I'm very serious about BBQ and grilling and after reading many recommendations for these on the BBQ Forum I bought one of these a year ago. No more guesswork, no more waiting 30 seconds or more for the thermometer to stabilize, just near instant completely accurate temps. I can't recommend it highly enough. Don't get it wet or handle it roughly and it will last for years.

Worth Every Penny July 2, 2008
Every kitchen should have a digital thermometer and every cook should use one. It a must for determining if poultry and meat is done, it is handy for telling if those leftovers in the microwave are hot, and if the frying oil is up to temperature...plus so much more!

Cooks Illustrated got it right! This is the one to get if you (or Santa) can afford it. I've tried several other digital models over the years. My biggest gripes about most of those were slow response time and narrow temp range. The CDN DTQ 450 is a close 2nd, but this one is the best.

I've had this model (in grey) for about a year and a half and it functions flawlessly. It reads fast, has a big read-out and is comfortable to hold. The only gripe I have is that is has no "temp hold" feature. It registers so fast that by the time you pull it out of the roast and out of the oven to read it, it has changed.

The old adages are correct: "You get what you pay for." and "The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten."

Almost perfect June 3, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I've used this is great thermometer for over a year and it's been nearly flawless. The only drawback is that the LCD display does not like to get wet. If it gets damp and you don't dry it off immediately, you will get unreliable readings or none at all. As other reviewers mentioned, don't wash the Thermapen body or use it in the rain.

Other than that, it is fast and accurate as others have stated.

BTW, Thermaworks has great customer service (guess how I know that).

i became a chef June 1, 2008
since i purchased this thermometer, my food has never been under or over cooked.

worth every penny.

all i can say, "Wow".

instant read, fast response, stylish. wow, wow.

if my food needs to be at 209F, i can see 209 F. if my lamb needs to get to 135 F, i stop it at 135 F.

wow!
