Thermomètre à viande à lecture instantanée TP01A, lot de 2

I ordered these to replace an older Therm Pro that had finally decided to come apart. I had found the older unit to be very accurate and very reliable and wanted the same brand. The combination of its low price and performance sold me on the brand. I saw the two-pack and jumped at the offer since we have a family-owned second home. When I purchased the first one a few years ago, I was replacing another brand that had failed and had never given me accurate readings. It registered temps that were lower than the actual inner temp. The Them Pro gave me accurate readings from the get go.I gave this item five stars because of its performance and usability. I do, however, have one major bone to pick with the manufacturer. The older one that I replaced came with a sheath that covered the entire temperature probe when not in use. The newer item comes with a cheap little tip that only covers the end of the probe. I attached a pic showing the two side-by-side. Don't like that at all, but love the probe itself.

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.

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.

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.

I have purchased two iTronic products – the ThermoPro TP01A Instant Read and the TP20 wireless remote. The TP20 was purchased almost two years ago and Amazon won’t let me leave a review on it for some reason. I just purchased the TP01A and haven’t put it through its paces yet. BUT…..what I do want to do is recommend ThermoPro’s amazing customer service. Just a week after buying the TP20 a couple of years ago, I was first surprised to get an email from iTronics offering a spare set of probes for free. Just….because. So that left me with two full sets of new probes right off the bat. Awesome!The TP20 works great for me, although I don’t have a frame of reference to compare it to other units. Haven’t measured the range but it does everything I need and has brought a world of consistency to my cooks. There are a couple of improvements I would choose to make to make it more user friendly to set up and may contact the manufacturer to recommend it. Simple things like being able to change temps by holding the button down instead of having to press it for each degree change (with the annoying beep that comes with every push of the button – can’t we make that go away?). Some time back, though, I went to use it and found the transmitter wouldn’t communicate with the receiver anymore. I replaced both sets of batteries and rebooted both pieces to no avail. I contacted iTronics, who walked me through a reset process, but it still didn’t work. They confirmed my shipping address and said they’d make it right. When the package arrived, I was a bit surprised to see a whole new boxed unit! New matched transmitter and receiver, two more probes and a clip. So now I still have the old transmitter (which still works, I just can’t use it remotely) that stays in the kitchen for oven duty and a new remote unit, as well as six probes. Customer service was great to work with and was the reason I purchased the TP01A on sale as a backup to my other instant read. Once I get time to put it through its paces, time will tell if it becomes my backup or primary instant read. Regardless, I HIGHLY recommend this company just for the customer service.
