ETI Medical Ear Forehead Function, COULAX Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer with Instant Reading, Fever Warning, Clinical Monitoring, Stainless Steel, Blue, 1509564

I first came across this device at the Nick Nairn cook school. It has a very fine probe tip so that the probe can be inserted into meat easily and without leaving a large hole. The thermometer also displays the temperature very quickly. If the thermometer is not used for a while it automatically switches off , hence saving battery power. The thermometer is certainly not cheap, but, in my opinion, one is paying for quality. The supplied paperwork includes a calibration certificate and a booklet advising on how the thermometer can be used (including required internal meat temperatures for rare/medium/well-done steaks)

I bought this to check the internal temperatures of meat that I cook on a smoker barbecue in my back garden. I have a couple of wireless probe thermometers but I wanted the Thermapen as it offers an easier way to take multiple readings from different items across the grill. It works very well. Getting a temperature reading takes just a few seconds. I take a sterilising wipe with me so that I can clean the probe before moving from one reading to another - this helps prevent cross contamination. Edit: Last weekend I manned the barbecue at my son's School Fete. We used the Thermapen to check that what we were selling had all reached safe temperatures. Given that we sold about 150 burgers and hotdogs I think it was a worthwhile safeguard, and it was quick and easy to perform the checks.

This little gadget has all kinds of certificates and calibrations stating how accurate it is and that is reassuring. it would be worse than useless to have a food thermometer that was not accurate. Another good point is the speed it displays the temperature. it would defeat the point somewhat if the display took a long time to creep up. This gadget shows the food temperature in four seconds. Although a bit costly this gadget has improved the food I prepare significantly. Previously I used to overcook almost everything just to be on the safe side with the result that lots of what I cooked was dry and tough. Chicken and pork were my worst. Now this little gadget gives me the confidence to stop overcooking with juicier more flavoursome results. One tip I would give is that when testing a thin cut such as a chicken breast then take the meat from the pan with tongs and insert the probe sideways into the thickest part of the food. I found that this is not only easier but also avoids the possibility of the tip of the probe touching the pan and giving a wrong reading if the food was tested in situ. Definite 5 star for me.

I am an agency chef and I carry this food probe with me to work.This is the 4th eti thermapen food probe I have had. They are very fast easy to use and read. This one doesn't have a wrist strap which is a shame because in the past I have used the stap to suspend the probe when I've been boiling sugar. I consider these probes to be much better than most of the ones I find in the food premises I work in. The probe folds and fits easily into your pocket. my first got shut in an oven and melted,the second was stolen from me the 3rd recently died, not bad for over 20 years of working. They are a bit pricey but for the speed, accuracy and convenience, well worth it.

Very accurate and easy to use. One of the best meat/cooking thermometers.

A very efficient thermometer which is simplicity itself to use. I had previously purchased other thermometers which dissapointed but this one is impressive. I use mine for culinary purposes testing roast meat and warmth of baby food, but my son in law, who is a mountain guide, uses his to take temperature of snow!

This is described as "SuperFast Thermapen - professional food thermometer in red" - it is a CLASSIC model NOT a Professional one. Misleading labelling again Amazon.

Simply the best. I have tried others before, but this did the job without any problem. All of the meats that I cooked this Xmas, were done to perfection, thanks to my new acquisition.

This company makes really good products. Thermometers are easy to read and accurate. I definitely recommend it.

Lo queria hace tiempo pero su precio me echaba para atras. Funciona muy bien y consigues los puntos de asado perfectos. facil de manejar y de limpiar. De profesional. Recomendable si te gusta cocinar

Profigerät für höchste Ansprüche; sehr robust und einfach zu bedienen. Jedes einzelne Gerät wird auf Messgenauigkeit geprüft und zertifiziert. Innerhalb drei Sekunden wird die gemessenene Temperatur auf ein Zehntelgrad genau angezeigt. Wer damit kocht, kann bald nicht mehr darauf verzichten; die Kochresultate sind konstant und stets reproduzierbar. Gelegentlich wünschte ich mir die Möglichkeit, das Resultat für einige Sekunden zu speichern; ist aber nicht ein grosses Manko. Verdiente fünf Sterne!

worth its money.wife swares by it

Worked beautifully.... until I dropped it. It was very fast and incredibly precise while it worked. I dropped it once from waist height to a tile floor and now it says "flat battery" at all times and does not function (yes I replaced the battery). Sorry, but a $100+ kitchen gadget should be able to survive a 3 foot drop. It took f o r e v e r to arrive. I have literally had items from China show up weeks faster than this thing did and it came from Los Angeles. It is much bigger than it appears in photos. Folded and standing up on end, it's taller than a soda can. The spike is wickedly sharp.It has no hook or clip or even a hole to attach a lanyard to which would be a good idea considering how fragile the thing is. I use a food thermometer all day everyday for work and I really liked this thing while it worked but can't afford to carry something so expensive and fragile. Going back to my cheapo analog thermometers. UPDATE - Ok, I'm dumb. So I dropped it. The battery came loose inside the case and I reattached it. I got the "flat batt" error. I replaced the battery with a brand new one and got the same error. I could also hear something rattling around in the case so figured it was done good and broke. I decided to mess around with it before looking into repair options and just happened to notice that printed on the case after the battery model number was the magic characters "X2". The thing rattling around inside the case was the SECOND BATTERY. This thermomter uses two identical button batteries stacked on top of each other. I had no idea and have never seen a device that uses this battery configuration. Once I stacked those batteries back up, the thing works good as new and I love it again. 4 stars because I believe all kitchen tools should be waterproof and the thing really need a hook or a lanyard or something but if you use a food thermomter throughout your workday, you will love love love this thing. I have only seen the speed and precision of this thermomter in the brick-size wired Fluke pro thermometers.
