ThermoPro TP605 Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Cooking Waterproof Digital Food Thermometer with Large Backlit LCD 180 Foldaway

This seems to be well made and works great so far. If is easy to use. It comes on when you unfold the probe and turns off when you fold the probe in. It is easy to read and is easy to clean. I like the magnetic feature that allows you to keep it handy on the fridge or stove. Read more

I love this ThermoPro instant-read thermometer! It’s fast, accurate, and easy to use, with a clear backlit display and a foldaway probe that makes storage simple. Being waterproof is a huge bonus, and it works perfectly for grilling, baking, and even candy making. I loved it so much that I bought a second one to gift to a friend. Great quality and value—highly recommend! Read more

I've been using a cheap digital one (my wife's) when smoking / grilling / BBQing - and finally decided to buy my own, and I wanted a decent one - this was one that I'd seen many positive reviews and comments about. There is a reason for all the great reviews - this is an awesome thermometer. Imagine her shocked look with this was stuck to our range hood (it has magnets!) today. Open the probe, and it turns on, simple as that. It's size is good for hand use, the probe can be used at most angles for awkward temp readings. Close it, and it turns off (it also has an auto shutoff timer.) It's accurate out of the box, no need to calibrate mine. (nor would I try) It has a nice backlit screen, and quick reference temp chart on the back (for various meats.) Well built, and a great item. ThermoPro makes great stuff at a great price. I'll be upgrading my remote wireless meat thermometer to a ThermoPro (with probes) real soon. (currently using an el-cheapo wireless she bought me years ago - which works.... but it's not near the level of quality.) Solid piece of cooking gear! Read more

Not quite "instant" but pretty quick. The big display is lighted and easy to see at night when grilling outside. Probe is very pointed and easily pierces beef and pork. Temperature reading seem to be accurate and the battery saver feature should help prolong the life of the battery. I think it is a good value for the money and for what I use it for, it seem quite sturdy. I would buy it again. Read more

This little appliance is an excellent help in the kitchen for me as a man , since I've become "the cook" in our "getting older" household. I reheat intentional left-overs at every opportunity- this give a fast and precise check on that. Most helpful is giving me a certainty that the magic 165 degrees has been reached for the frozen foods as often as possible cooked in the micro. The device has no faults or shortcomings - it's fast, easy, precise, convenient, inexpensive and the batteries last a very long time. Read more

This takes a few seconds to read the temperature, but only a few, like 2 or 3, as advertised. Sure there are faster thermometers with near instant reads, but they also cost several times more than this one. I've had this for a year or more and mostly use it when cooking on our pellet smoker grill. Sometimes I have to search the kitchen because my wife has borrowed it for indoor cooking. The unit turns on when the probe is swung out from the body, and turns off when it is returned to the closed position. The magnet on the back isn't too strong, but strong enough that it will stick to our oven or iron parts of the pellet smoker and won't fall off from a casual bump. The display has good contrast, even in sun, and is easy to read. The battery is easy to install and I haven't had to replace it yet. Great value, great purchase. Read more
