ThermoMaven Professional Meat Thermometer Digital, 0.6 Sec Instant Read, ±0.5℉ NIST Certified Accuracy, IP67 Waterproof, Bright Backlit, Temperature Indicator for Grill, BBQ, Smoker

TLDR - This is a great thermometer that passed my tests and works as it should. The fast displaying temperature on a backlit screen, and the IP67 make this worth every penny! I have been using a digital meat thermometer for quite sometime now, and I felt like it was not accurately reading the temps and the meat was getting drier and drier due to being overcooked more and more. The final straw was last week when I made a brisket and It just seemed to be taking so much longer to get to internal temp than it has in the past. So I finally pulled the brisket off and let it set for a bit and then started cutting it. The meat was so overcooked that the thinner parts were pretty dried out and it was very disappointing. I knew right then I needed to find a new thermometer, and that is how I found this ThermoMaven F1 Pro! It was packaged very well and came with great instructions and a AAA battery, which was very surprising it takes a standard battery and not a watch style battery. This came with a calibration certificate as well which gave me more confidence that this was going to work accurately. The first test I actually did was washing the unit before I went to use it to test the IP67 rating and it went great and did not effect the unit at all. I washed my old thermometer and water got inside the power button and/or the button to switch between F and C and the display was not readable. So I had to wait until the next night to try the second test of the temperature of the meat to compare the 2 side by side. I did not have any meat that needed to be cooked as I had intended to use this the night before when I did the washing test, I did reheat a portion of pork tenderloin and tested this thermometer alongside my previous version I believed wasn't working accurately. As the attached photo shows the temperature was showing way below this ThermoMaven F1 Pro, and confirmed my suspicions that my old unit was off. I did some controlled tests between the ThermoMaven F1 Pro, my confirmed broken thermometer and a regular old school thermometer to check your personal temperature and the ThermoMaven was inline with the old school thermometer. I thought I took a photo of this, but I could not find it to add with the others.

Does the job. Fast and accurate. I wish I had it long ago

This is a substantial device. It's not huge, nor is it heavy, but it is solid. It has a few features that make it extremely easy to use. 1. fold out the sensor and it turns on. 2. turn the thermometer upside down and the reading is right side up. It flips so seamlessly I didn't notice it did it at first. 3. close it and it's off. 4. it's fast, not sub-second fast, but in less than 2 seconds it's at temperature. 5. it's got a sharp thin sensor tip 15mm long so it doesn't do much damage when pushed into the object to test. For those who like high-end tools, this thermometer meets that standard. I slid it into my pocket and nothing pokes out to get you, it also won't get damaged it's so sturdy. I've used several thermometers, this one feels built to last.

I am absolutely amazed at the quality of this product (ThermoMaven F1 Pro), both from the build, look-and-feel, as well as from a performance perspective. It is way more superior to the previous thermapen I bought on Amazon. Storage is very convenient - you can just unfold to use it and when you are done fold it back. It is also magnetic; you can just attach it to the fridge door (or any metal surface) so you will never forget where to find it (if you are also a forgetful person like me!). To test out its speed and accuracy, I dipped the probe into a pan of boiling water, and it instantly displayed back 211.2 (°F), which is almost exactly the boiling point of water! I have already used it when I cooked pan-seared salmon last night. The salmon has never looked and tasted this good! thanks to the instant and accurate temperature reading from this product. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this product to anyone who love to cook great food! It is well worth the price.

Very accurate - works solid. HOWEVER, I did have an issue with quality control. Had to get a replacement ordered due to LCD screen having ghost fade. But compared to all the other thermo-pens I've used it reads quickly, and is very accurate on the temperature. Easy set up and use. Can't say anything as to waterproof but I wouldn't entirely submerge it.

This is a fantastic tool, instantly reads temp. Great for quickly checking doneness of bread and meat, which means you can fairly quickly open and close your oven or BBQ to get an accurate reading. Love how the displayed value flips over depending on how you hold it. Also turns itself off if you leave it unfolded. It's also magnetic so you can stick it to your fridge. I also use it to quickly measure water temp when adding to bread dough. You can also stick it under your tongue to get a quick body temp reading, but careful about the pokey ends.

Awesome!! Product! Bery easy to use and clean. Light up screen is a must. Clean and sleek. Fast ready!! I had an accident with mine! I forgot that my gas grill was on and put it on the lid and it melted lol! Definitely buying another one!!!

too hard to get in the battery

I am very satisfied with the product; shipping was prompt, the price was reasonable, and it matched the online image precisely.

good quality hard to change from F to C
