I Love This Meat Thermometer so Much That I Bought One for My Dad and It’s on Sale Now.
Just in time for Memorial Day, when you can get grilling, barbecuing, and smoking, the thoughtful folks at ThermoWorks are throwing a sale you won’t want to miss. Starting today, you can snag my favorite meat thermometer for 30% off. It’s the Thermapen One , and I love it so much I even bought one for my dad.
I’ve been using the Thermapen One for about eight months now, and I can’t imagine ever throwing Friendsgiving without it. I’d rather forget the days when I nearly fried my hand because some other crappy meat thermometer took forever to measure the temperature of my oven-roasted turkey. While I primarily use the Thermapen One for meat, don’t limit yourself—this handy probe thermometer can also be used to test the doneness of bread, cakes, and casseroles.
The Thermapen One gives you accurate readings in one second (hence the name). While that’s absolutely fantastic, it’s the other features that make it stand out. It has a hinged probe so you can fold it up when not in use. (It automatically turns off when you fold the end.) When you open it, the digital display lights up so you can easily see the readings. Best of all, the numbers rotate along with the orientation of the screen. This sounds like a “well, who cares” feature, but you’d be surprised how many weird angles you have to use to get to the center of the thigh or avoid hitting the bone in a turkey while trying to keep your knuckles from burning on the grill grate. Temperature readings that automatically orient themselves right-side up are extremely useful.
My dad is the grilling king of our family, and the quick-read feature is the main feature that attracted him to this thermometer in the first place: no more waiting for the temperature to rise while you lose heat from an open-lid grill. In fact, if you’re trying to get your shopping done before Father’s Day, this is a great opportunity to snag a bargain, and you’ll be proud of yourself for being so organized and thoughtful.
The Thermapen One is on sale until May 27, so even if your shipment doesn’t arrive by this weekend, at least you’ll have it to last until grilling season ends.
