Got a Blizzard going on today so thought I would do a little "on line shopping"
Want to know if the Thermapen is worth the $90 or is there something else out there as got and fast for less money.
Thanks
I use mine all the time. Good to have if you do multiple loads of meat
IMHO:
It is a great thermometer. I have 2 and have given them as gifts.
It is fast, accurate, and well-built. Over a year so far on the factory batteries.
I understand their customer service is great, but I have not had to use it.
No backlight, but I think that it contributes to the long battery life.
Not made in China. the Thermopen is made in the UK.
I also have one of their IR units for surface temps.
^^^what FLBR said!^^^
Yes! Very worth it.
Excellent when smoking sausage-can get the temp quick, then close the door!
I also use it for grilling--I poke everything to make sure it's done, but not overdone--steak, chops, burgers, chicken.
I have 2 of them. I bought both as refurbished units. The first 1 I bought crapped out shortly after the warranty period. When I contacted them, they replaced it with no questions asked.
Sometimes they offer the refurbed units on line as a special. I got my first one just by calling their customer service and asked if they had any refurbed units. I got it back then for $79 including shipping.
So yes I think they are worth it.
I have bought several refurbished sale ones for family members and myself. They are a great, accurate, reliable, instant read thermometer. Well worth the money IMHO.
If you wait they will probably have another sale after the holiday.
I have also heard good things about the Maverick PT-100
Sounds like that's the way to go then.....Thank all
I got a refurb too and love it. Great for the smoker since all your heat ain't gone cause it is so much faster than my others. Love it.
Add me to the Yep Chorus... ::)
Love mine. Use it all the time. If ya can catch them on sale off their site.
