TP01A Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking Candle Liquid Deep Frying Oil Candy, Kitchen Food Instant Read Thermometer with Super Long Probe, Backlit, Lock Function (Previously ThermoPro)

I like the longer probe. Works well and easy to use and read in F or C

I purchased this for myself 3 years ago. Now I buy them as gifts for everyone I know who cooks or grills. It's a good thermometer. Accurate and easy to use. Batteries are long lasting and replaceable. You get a temperature reading in 2-3 seconds and it's easy to see. Great value for the money.

I recently purchased this thermometer and was impressed with its fast, accurate readings and durable design. The long probe keeps hands safe from heat, and the backlit display is easy to read even in low-light conditions. It performed well within its advertised temperature range, and the lock function is a handy feature. However, I accidentally dropped it into a hot roux while cooking. To my surprise, it still worked perfectly after I fished it out, which speaks to its durability. That said, this experience highlighted a key drawback: it doesn’t include any type of clip to secure it to the edge of a pot or pan. A clip would add convenience and help prevent accidents like this. Overall, it’s a reliable thermometer for everyday cooking, but the lack of a clip keeps it from being perfect. If you're careful, this is a great tool for your kitchen!

Great value. Worked great. Nice clear digital display and also lights to help see the readings. The only thing I didn't like was that when I placed the thermometer into the hot wax, the reading raised from low to high in increments instead of the instant hottest reading.

Affordable and works

So far this instant thermometer is the best and most accurate thermometer I own. It is nice and compact but still easy to read the temperature.

I've been looking for a deal on an inexpensive meat thermometer to replace the old Taylor (bottom in pic) one I've had for ages. The Taylor one was well made and lasted for well over a decade, however it was banged up pretty badly during our last Thanksgiving dinner when we accidentally put it back into the oven with the Turkey. While the thermometer still works, the plastic was warped enough that the battery cap would not stay in place anymore. I picked up the ThermoPro TP01A for under ten dollars and for the price, I am quite satisfied. The probe is 2 inches longer than my old Taylor, which comes in handy for larger food items (Hams and Turkeys). The temperature read is definitely faster, perhaps a second or two difference which is a plus. The downside is that it uses 2 batteries versus 1 for the Taylor. However, this might just mean it lasts longer than the Taylor as the overall functions between the two are the same and I can't imagine the electronics are vastly different. I like the option of the indigo backlight, which is also helpful especially when used at night and in the oven where light might be scarce. I wish there were a better cap (instead of the plastic cover that will easily be lost), or a way to clip it to something. But for all the bells and whistles, I'd have to pay a bit more which I'm not interested in doing. For anyone looking for a simple, fast and inexpensive meat thermometer, the ThermoPro TP01A is a solid purchase.

Thermometers work really well. However, one of them needed battery replacement. Even after replacing the batteries, it did not work. Tossed it.
