Makes me wonder. My Thermapen sucks. I got it as a gift 5-10 years ago, and it seemed to come in nice official packaging. It has never met the settle time claim

- katbyte 5y agoIt’s probably either counterfeit or defective
- timvdalen 5y agoWhat have you tried it on? Mine works extremely fast when it's _in_ something that it can read (like meat, or hot oil), but the Thermapen doesn't work for air temperature (not enough heat conduction, I would guess). I also have a ThemoWorks/ETI ChefAlarm, and the difference in read time between the two are very apparent.
- s0rce 5y agoIf you wave it around frantically in air it works well enough, certainly not the intended application and if that is your main use then there are better tools.
- Reason077 5y agoMine works well enough for taking air temperature. Obviously not instant read, but if you leave it out for a minute or two before reading it, it gives pretty accurate results. (I guess that's no different from any ordinary air thermometer?)
- timvdalen 5y agoYes, you are correct, I was just talking about the 'instant read' part of it.
