As a subscriber to Cook’s Illustrated I’ve known for a long time that the Themapen is the best thermometer on the market. But I’ve avoided getting one for ages, and have stuck to my slow “instant” read thermometer. If there is one gadget in the kitchen that we use often for cooking and grilling it’s an instant read thermometer. So, last month I finally got around to purchasing one with my Amazon Points. I wish I had gotten one sooner. This thing is fast. Most “instant read” thermometers aren’t very instant and can take 10-20 seconds to lock on a temp. The Thermapen does this in under 3 seconds. It’s brilliant.

It’s also super easy to use. You just unfold the thermometer and it’s ready to go.

With endorsments from Cook’s Illustrated, The Sweethome, and an average of 4.9 stars on Amazon, I don’t really have to say much more than get one.

★★★★★ Exceptional. A spectacular product.
