My Favorite Instant-Read Thermometer Is 25% Off Right Now Through This Exclusive Link

I bought my first Thermapen in 2011, and it instantly improved my cooking. At the time, spending $100-plus on a kitchen thermometer felt almost scandalous. However, I had experienced the euphoria of swapping out my cheap, dull kitchen knife for a sharper, nicer blade, so I knew a quality kitchen tool could make my cooking better, faster, and more fun.

After years of squinting at the tiny needle on the dials of cheap thermometers scrounged from some dusty corner of my closest supermarket, waiting (sometimes minutes) for it to equalize, the Thermapen’s almost instant digital temperature was the ultimate luxury. I could watch the temperature of my dinner rise and fall in real-time.

The Thermapen also broadened the kinds of foods I felt comfortable cooking. Spendy steaks no longer intimidated me because I wasn’t worried about overcooking them. Making a juicy Thanksgiving turkey—a feat I had long thought impossible—went from scary to manageable. Instead of thrumming on the bottom of my loaves of bread listening for a sound described in my cookbooks as “hollow,” the thermometer gave me confidence that my bread was done, not raw inside.

Why I Love My Thermapen

I’ve been using that same Thermapen for 13 years. I think I replaced the battery twice, and I use the thermometer almost daily. It has guided me to fluffy, light loaves of bread; peanut brittle with the most delicate crunch; juicy chicken breasts; and even perfectly thawed frozen burritos (nothing sadder than biting into a hot-on-the-outside, frozen-on-the-inside burrito).

Since my Thermapen was released back in the day, ThermoWorks, the makers of the Thermapen, has upped its game. The Thermapen One is its latest model, and I loved my old one so much that I bought the newer one, demoting my beloved thermometer to backup and travel duty. 

The Thermapen One has the ability to display temperature readings within one-half degree (that’s 0.5°F) of accuracy in just one second. This is a significant improvement from my old model’s two to three seconds. Its backlit display is a must for grilling at dusk or after dark, and its five-year warranty ensures you can use it for anything and everything, making it a worthwhile investment for all your cooking needs.
