Thermapen Thermometer - Review

Best Digital Kitchen Thermometer

Checking the internal temperature of poultry is vital for health and safety reasons.

But it's also good to know your Christmas turkey or beef joint is perfectly cooked and not dry.

All you need is a good digital thermometer to check food is properly cooked but without all the prodding and poking every five minutes.

Of course, checking the temperature isn't all about meat and poultry, according to experts, the secret to Plum Pudding perfection on Christmas Day is to reheat it to precisely 71°C. 

Any hotter than 89°C and the sugar within the fruits begins to caramelise and no matter how luxurious its ingredients, your pudding will taste bitter.

I'm a big fan of digital thermometers and I always use one to check if meat or poultry is cooked. 

I was kindly sent this digital instant read kitchen thermometer. It's brilliant and extra fast displaying a precise reading in just three seconds.

I have a few different digital thermometers and in my opinion, this is by far the best.

Okay, the price is more expensive than the others I own but I'd say this one, in particular, is really worth investing in. It's sturdy and is very well made.

Thermapen is made in Britain and everyone has a serial number on the back and a Manufacturer's Certificate of Calibration.

Guaranteed to be accurate to + or - 0.4c with a range of -49.9 to 299.9c

The digital display is large and easy to read and the manufacturers say the biomaster casing reduces bacterial growth.

The case is splash-proof and really easy to use, there are no buttons or switches to press and it's comfortable to hold in your hand.

It's really easy to use too; unfold the probe and insert at least 3mm to get an accurate temperature reading.

Available in a wide range of colours and comes with a two-year guarantee.
