I've owned a Thermapen for many years now and extremely happy with it.
I brew beer, roast coffee, smoke meat, bake, etc. and accuracy is really important to me. I've gone through so many thermometers before I got this.
My breaking point was when I owned 3 random ones from Amazon and they all gave me different readings, and they weren't even linearly different either -- like at 140ºF it would be 15-20º apart and at boiling it was 5-10º, so it was impossible to infer the true temp. I tossed a batch of beer down the sink out of frustration because of this.
- fred_is_fred 5y agoSeconded. This is one of the things you buy in life and keep forever and are never unhappy with it. Worth every cent.
- warmfuzzykitten 5y agoAgree. I bought one in February 2012 on Amazon "Sold by: ThermoWorks, Inc.", apparently before counterfeits became an issue. It's fast and accurate and still working fine.
- jjeaff 5y agoI don't think counterfeits for Thermapen have ever been a problem. Just unofficial distributors selling Thermapen from ETI or reselling after purchasing from Thermoworks.
- randompwd 5y agoHow can you state this? You've commented multiple times and only once disclaimed that you were a former competitor to Thermoworks trying to sell the thermapen also. You are poisoning this conversation. PUT A DISCLAIMER IN YOUR COMMENTS.
- frakkingcylons 5y agoNo need to shout.
- ryanlol 5y agoHow is he poisoning the conversation? The detail he is neglecting to mention only strengthens his position.
- jjeaff 5y agoIn this case, that wouldn't be a disclaimer, it would simply be a claim of direct knowledge of the practices I alleged. Which I do have.
