ThermoPro TP17 Twin Probe Digital Cooking Meat Thermometer Massive LCD Backlight Meals Grill Thermometer with Timer Mode for Smoker Kitchen Oven BBQ, Silver

AMAZING thermometer!
I didn’t know there were thermometers like this when I started searching on Amazon. My old thermometer had broken, and I went to the local grocery store to replace it. But all they had were instant thermometers. Pathetic, in my opinion! So you wrap up meat, stick it in the oven, then what–have to pull it out a bunch of times to…what–stick through your wrappings, puncturing the perfect cover? Try to carefully unwrap them, then wrap the super-hot thing back again (unlike the perfect job you did while it was cold), which also causes a great deal of heat to escape, setting the cooking back? NO! I had to find something to replace my decades-old technology, so I could just glance in the oven and see if it’s there yet. As I searched, while prices were reasonable, it seemed a high percentage of people were disgusted with the best-rated thermometers–at least those most similar to my (many decades-old) technology thermometer. Inaccuracy, number markings quickly wearing off, working well for a short time, then failing, etc. Then I came across the ThermoPro TP-17. It wasn’t what I was looking for, and I didn’t know what to expect. Would wires really fit through the closed oven door with no problem to the seal as it closed? (I discovered this was absolutely no problem—simple and intuitive—you can’t tell the door is affected in the least by the super-thin wire. But NOT for use in microwaves!!!) But people seemed happier with this thermometer than the reviews of others. So I check out the negative reviews (as I also did with the old-style thermometers, like from 50+ years ago), and I find that generally speaking, the concerns are minimal. For example, the reasons for failure are often (if not typically, even when undisclosed) user-caused, such as getting the wire wet. You want to be careful, but even then it’s possible to get it wet I suppose…then what? ThermoPro stands behind it! I just registered online. You don’t have to give personal info*–primarily give them the Amazon’s purchase #, so they know you really did legitimately buy it. Cut & paste (I don’t even remember giving my name*, certainly not my address or phone #, but you DO have to give your EMAIL*), and it’s done. Now I have a 3-year warranty and support, including their phone # to get their support! They’ll even send a replacement wire for free (if I remember correctly), even though it’s your own fault. So I got it, and just out of curiosity, held the probe in my hand to see if it would give something close to my body temperature. It climbed very slowly to about 80°. I didn’t know what to think–that didn’t seem right. Then I accidentally grabbed the tip of the probe, and the temperature shot quickly up to about 96° (I don’t remember exactly). So I put it on my neck and closed my chin on it–98° almost immediately (it doesn’t measure tenths of degrees, of course–totally unnecessary for cooking). Amazing! Unlike the old technology thermometers, no calibration is ever necessary. (For that matter, when you calibrate the old ones, you are lucky to get reasonably close to the right temperature, but you can work with it.) ThermoPro is spot-on, all the time, never needing calibration. The probe tends to be resistant to temperature affect, because if that weren’t the case, it would register the temperature of the oven instead of the meat at the tip of the probe, because much of the probe nearly always sticks out (unless you have a HUGE piece of meat). But it gets FAR more amazing. Very easily (at least for me–I didn’t have to read anything to figure this out within seconds just goofing around with it), you can set the thermometer to go off by either timer or temperature. Of course there are plenty of sources you already have for timers–your oven, your microwave, your cell phone, etc., but by TEMPERATURE? I stuck it in the meat, popped it in the oven, then could EASILY watch the temperature of the meat rise–big super-easy-to-read, lighted, numbers. Walk out of the room, start doing whatever you want–get lost on your PC totally forgetting about time, cooking, etc., and BEEP BEEP…the meat just hit the precise temp you wanted! You can adjust your target temperature up, down, or whatever while it’s in the oven, and even after it goes off! For instance, set it a few degrees below your actual target, so that you can leisurely walk into the room and watch it pop that perfect number…then move that target up, if you wish. After that, most meat recipes call for the meat to rest out of the oven. Well, in the cool room (i.e. room temperature in the 70’s, rather than the oven 200-400°), the center-meat temperature continues to rise (for a good while with a moderately large, covered piece). Just leave the thermometer in it, unmoved, and you can let it get to whatever you desire as perfect. Getting too hot? Cut it open quick–let the center cool. I understand the technology–no more complicated than many watches today, in terms of technology. I just didn’t know anyone was doing it. But on the other hand, I really don’t know how the probes and especially wires carry the temperature of the probe tips without fouling up the readings due to the probe and wires being openly exposed to the very hot oven area. (It can take extremely hot temperatures–I don’t remember what, because it doesn’t apply to me–like 500+°.) I HIGHLY recommend this thermometer. It can really perfect your cooking experience with almost no learning curve (at least to my way of thinking). However, remember to keep the wires dry! (No problem for me. But don’t be careless about it.)*UPDATE: When registering, while they ask very little, they DO ask for your email. Since registering about 5 days ago, I’ve received an average of an email EVERY DAY. I just changed my Microsoft Outlook to always take anything from them and put it in a ThermoPro folder, so I’ll never be bothered again unless I need something (such as support) from them, in which I can just check that folder. Perhaps it’s nice, informative stuff, but I don’t want it. It does lower my opinion of them—they should have at least offered an “opt out” during registration. I never click emails’ “unsubscribe” feature—you never know what that could trigger. I just put them in their own “sandbox”, never to bother me again.

This thermometer is accurate and does the job!
The software is easy to use. The temp is accurate. You have two leads so you can use it for different parts of your turkey or you can use it when you are cooking low and slow on your grill or smoker to measure the temperature of your grill at grate level and the temperature of your meat. The wire and the stainless steal probes are made of the finest materials! This thermometer can be set as a timer. For the money spent this is an excellent value from a brand I trust. I know own three different devices from this company and all are excellent! DO NOT DROP IT!! I dropped mine and that was it! Nothing worked right. Since it is my fault, I did not contact the company and I just ordered another one. I love the size, interface and functionality. I think this is a good product. Like any electronic product, be careful with hit.

Accurate and easy to use
I had a wireless Bluetooth 4 probe thermometer previously and it gave me false readings bad enough where I ruined a couple pieces of meat on the smoker waiting for the temps. I’m much more aware of the time and expected temps now but I also got this thermometer to replace the old one I knew was not working correctly. Used this thermometer with great success last weekend to make some ring bologna and summer sausage. Had one probe attached the rack with one of the two included brackets. Worked well. Had the other three (as well as some single probe units I’ve had for a while) in the meat. All worked well. Everything came out great. I cross referenced and verified the temps all the ways I know how including in my mouth, in the fridge and in the same chunk of meat as other thermometers. They seem as accurate as any others I have. For what I’m doing a couple degrees here and there don’t matter anyway.My only complaint is that you can’t leave the backlight on constantly. I know it would wear down the battery quickly but I was smoking the sausage all day including after dark and this thermometer was hard to see outside. Not that big of a deal for me to step outside with a flashlight so it’s a pretty small complaint.I felt like the alarm temp setting was easy to figure out how to change. Pretty intuitive.The magnet is plenty strong to hold itself on the outside of my smoker.The probe cords were long enough for my purposes. I can’t imagine needing anything longer.The first probe cord I inserted to the head unit, I didn’t seat properly so it didn’t register anything. You have to push pretty hard to get the cord properly inserted into the head unit. Harder than I expected anyway.I like the color coordination. It was nice to say the orange is the summer sausage and the blue is the smoker itself and the green was the ring bologna or whatever. Instead of having to say the top is the ring bologna and the second one down is the summer sausage etc.Overall I’m very happy.

This thing works amazing. Readings are very quick and accurate, having four probes is an awesome luxury when you’re e.g. cooking several steaks at once, BBQing, etc. or cooking a bird where you need breast and thigh readings at the same time.Also this thing seems to run forever on one battery. I don’t actually turn it off anymore. It just stays permanently turned on while stuck to my range hood via the magnets and I just grab the probe and use it whenever I want. I measure my coffee I took out of the microwave, I throw a probe into a pot I’ve put on the boil to beep at me when the pot is just about to boil. I stick a probe into my microwaved leftovers to see if there’s a cold spot. There are tons of uses for it besides sticking it into a steak or a bird.I only really ever use one probe at a time for the most part but it’s nice to know I have three spares in a drawer. I have presets at 135F (fish/steak), 150F (chicken), 200F (boiling water), etc. and just plug the probe into whichever port makes sense for what I’m doing at the time.I love this thing and I will use this for a long time.

This thermometer is excellent. I’ve used it for a couple of years now. Works well with all meals I make. It’s rare I don’t use it tbh. Its accuracy is excellent plu it’s easy to use. Good for two foods at once. Food is always cooked to the temperature desired. Once you get to know it you can determine yourself when to end the cooking time earlier if you find it overcooks. I’m really happy with this product, one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. No complaints.
