The Thermoworks Thermapen

One of the most important tools an individual can have when grilling or smoking is that of a properly calibrated food thermometer. This was a personal quest of mine, and I wanted a thermometer that would be durable, reliable and able to withstand the constant abuse I put alot of my tools through with smoking schools, home demos, and BBQ contests. With that said, I’m pleased to say I found it and feel it was important enough to pass on to all of you!

The thermometer I chose is a product produced by Thermoworks, which is a company based out of Orem Utah that specializes in the production of the most accurate thermometers available for the consumer in both the commercial and residential market. These thermometers range from the common dial thermometers to high tech infrared thermometers and thermo guns.

The one I chose is the Super fast Themopen. This thermometer is the one instrument I have used and seen used at most major BBQ competitions as well as being used by stars on the Food Network!

One of the key features of the Super-Fast Thermapen is when used it needs only 4 seconds to give an accurate internal reading of any food you submerge the probe into. The Thermapen has a big digital read out, making it easier to see and determine the internal temperature of the food being prepared. The food probe easily folds into the instrument helping to prevent breakage

When purchased the Thermapen includes a certificate with actual test data to show that your unit is calibrated, accurate and ready for use. The range of temperature the Thermapen covers is -58F to 572F.

A key selling point for me was the personal endorsement given by my local health department when my wife and I applied for our catering license. We were told that Thermoworks reputation was a well known in the Culinary world.

I have used my Themapen now consistently at competitions, barbeque schools and home cooking for about two years now. I’m well pleased with its performance and its durability. Ive used it in the middle of snowstorms,and during downpours of rain, and without fail it has worked as well as it did the first time it was put to use.

The current cost of the Thermapen is $89 plus shipping. Save yourself the headache and go directly to www.themoworks.com to purchase the Thermapen. I’ve been to EBay, Shopzilla and others trying to find a better price, and trust me the knockoffs CANNOT compare to the Original Themapen!
