SuperFast Instant Read Thermapen
It has to be said, that I do have a lot of fancy kitchen gadgets, but the one thing I couldn't be without is my Thermapen probe thermometer.
It gets used in my kitchen pretty much every single day and without meaning to sound like an advert, I really do love the Thermapen and can't recommend them enough.
I truely believed it couldn't be improved on. (until I recently received the new SuperFast Thermapen 4) which has an automatic 360° rotational display.
This means it is readable whether you are left or right-handed which is fantastic.
The battery life of 3000 hours under normal use, without the backlight, is double the expected life of the Classic. Using just a single AAA battery.
It has an auto intelligent backlight feature which can be turned on by touching the sensor. Each Thermapen 4 is supplied with a traceable certificate of calibration.
The Thermapen 4 measures temperature over the range of -49.9 to 299.9 °C (-58.0 to 572.0°F) and offers the perfect combination of speed, accuracy and convenience of use.
The true temperature of a product can be tested in just three seconds!
Weighing just 120 grams with a display size of 39 x 25 mm and currently selling at £60.00 I think this is the best probe thermometer.
It's available in black or white and a choice of 8 colours.
Made in Britain and comes with a 2-year guarantee; please see the Thermapen website for details and to buy.
All in all, the new SuperFast Thermepen 4 is improved from the Classic Thermapen 3 (which at the time of writing September 2015 is selling for £48.00).
You can see from my picture they look much the same, the SuperFast 4 is shown here in red while the orange one is the Classic.
The new Superfast has a sensor to the right of the viewing screen; just touch it to turn on the backlight.
Discloser - I was sent the new SuperFast Thermapen for the purpose of this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to write a positive review.
No I don't use one but it would be great for making sure chicken is cooked properly :)
ReplyDeleteno but one would be very handy
ReplyDeleteno I jut cut in half to see that its not pink lol x
ReplyDeleteI actually have a very old Thermapen which I use a lot but my daughter somehow managed to crack it!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't. I tend to poke a tick in and see what colour the juicers run to decide whether my meat is done or not - as well as gage by timing.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't, but would love to own one but I've been considering getting one. I tend to dry the chicken a bit when I roast a full chicken because I'm terrified of it not being fully cooked.
ReplyDeleteI don't use one. I use a fork to have a look
ReplyDeleteOnly for jam making, but I've been considering getting a thermapen for a while, winning one would be a bonus!
ReplyDeleteI only have a thermometer for when making fudge etc and it'd not branded
ReplyDeletewe don't have one
ReplyDeleteYes I do it was a really cheap one that I picked up, I'm not sure what brand it is. It takes forever to read, so I would love to win this.
ReplyDeleteNo but it'd be really handy x
ReplyDeleteNo I don't at the minute, but it would be super handy for making things like toffee and honeycomb!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a thermometer, usually just look to make sure things are cooked through.
ReplyDeletei do not, need!
ReplyDeleteno i dont so would love to win
ReplyDeleteI don't currently use a thermometer but I saw these on Bake Off and really fancied one !
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't use a meat thermometer, but it would make cooking meat so much easier.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't currently use one.
ReplyDeleteI don't use one, but really need to get one as tend to overcook my food to be on the safe side
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't currently use a thermometer when cooking.
ReplyDeleteI have a horrible cheap one but I don't use it.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I would like to try
ReplyDeleteI don't now but I would if I had one of these!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't already have a thermometer, have been on the lookout for a good one for ages!
ReplyDeleteI do use a thermometer as I'm paranoid about undercooking meat and oultry, but it's just a cheap one that takes ages to get to the correct temperature
ReplyDeleteI don't have one yet but I need one for baking
ReplyDeleteI don't but would love to use one
ReplyDeleteNo but I've always fancied one since seeing them used on The Great British Bake Off
ReplyDeleteI have never had a cooking thermometer. I would like one for cooking lamb.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got a thermometer - I usually wait till it turns black
ReplyDeleteI've never had one
ReplyDeleteI've never had one
ReplyDeleteI don't use at the moment but would love to try one!
ReplyDeleteI dont use one at the minute. but would love to try one.
ReplyDeleteNo...but i'm sure it would be handy to have one
ReplyDeleteNo but I would love to try a thermapen, seeing them everywhere now, Becky Duffy x
ReplyDeleteI don't use one x
ReplyDeleteI don't currently use one but I would like to.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't, but I would be very interested in trying one.
ReplyDeleteI don't use one at the moment, but I've always thought about investing in one ;)
ReplyDeleteNo I do not.
ReplyDeleteI use an old industrial one my hubby brought home from work
ReplyDeletei dont have one yet
ReplyDeleteI don't yet but I want to start using one!
ReplyDeleteno but we definitely need one
ReplyDeleteI do use one for certain dishes. I've had it for forever and it doesn't seem to be any particular brand. It's also quite awkward to read the temperature so not the easiest to use.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't, which is probably why I am always worrying if things are cooked. Would love one.
ReplyDeletedon't use a thermometer but one would be useful
ReplyDeleteNever used one - but love making sweets so this would be so useful.
ReplyDeletewe use them at work, dunno what brand
ReplyDeleteNever had one
ReplyDeleteWe used to use a really cheap Sainsbury's one but it broke and haven't got around to replacing it. It was mainly used in the summer for food cooked on the BBQ so not really the weather for replacing it right now!
ReplyDeletei've never used one-would love to
ReplyDeleteI dont use one but I would like to try
ReplyDeleteI dont, but 1 would come in handy ;)
ReplyDeleteNo I've never used one
ReplyDeleteNO I don't.
ReplyDeleteive never used one.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't xx
ReplyDeleteNo I don't use one. I do usually overcook meats to ensure they are cooked properly, so wouldn't be a bad idea to start using one
ReplyDeleteive never used one but would love to
ReplyDeleteI've never used one before but would love to try one out
ReplyDeleteI don't but i think i should start!
ReplyDeleteWe bought one before, but it had problems using it accurately . The Thermapen looks idiot proof.x
ReplyDeleteNo, but it would be great to have one.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't, but I think I should. It would be more reassuring. That way I will know if my food is cooked properly, instead of butterflying my meat to see if it's still pink in the middle.
ReplyDeleteYes I do but it's a rubbish cheapy one from ebay, Im pretty sure it doesn't work !
ReplyDeleteNope - Would love to
ReplyDeleteNo but I really want one!
ReplyDeleteNo i don't have a thermometer
ReplyDeleteI have never had one of these :)
ReplyDeleteNo I use a folk
ReplyDeleteI don't use one so I'd really like to win this!
ReplyDeleteNo we don't currently use a thermometer
ReplyDeleteI have never used a food thermometer although I know you should. It would be great to win this one.
ReplyDeleteI have an unbranded thermometer by ETI with a lead. I've managed to melt part of the handle due to the design. I use it regularly to check food temperatures as I mind children.
ReplyDeleteNo - I just guess. Which has led to more than a few mistakes :s
ReplyDeleteI've never had a thermometer while cooking, and am paranoid about getting food poisoning - so I tend to make a right mess of whatever I'm cooking, making sure that it is cooked enough!
ReplyDeleteNo I don't use one yet
ReplyDeleteI don't use one, but I really think I should!
ReplyDeleteI have never actually used a thermometer but often think I should.
ReplyDeleteno i dont use one but it would be great to have one xx
ReplyDeleteNo I don't use a food thermometer. Sometimes though I wish I had one just for a bit of reassurance.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't use a food thermometer
ReplyDeleteI haven't got one, but we be fabulous for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI never used but I would like one, would be very useful :)
ReplyDeleteNo I don't use one - but it would be really valuable to do so
ReplyDeleteI have one that I bought from Ikea years ago, but its such a pain to use as it doesn't turn off, need to take the batteries out each time. Then the batteries disappear and I need to take the ones out the Sky remote, that annoys the whole household ;-)
ReplyDeleteI used to have one but it broke and I can't remember what brand it was, but it was a cheap one,probably why it did fail.
ReplyDeleteI have an no-name thermometer I use for meat, but I'd love a thermapen
ReplyDeleteNo haven't used one before but would love to
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't currently use one.
ReplyDeleteI don't - hubby could certainly do with one when he cooks though
ReplyDeleteNo I do not own.
ReplyDeleteI use a thermometer for jam making but not for anything else.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't got one but I think it could be very useful :)
ReplyDeleteNo I don;t use one.
ReplyDeleteI've got 2 non-digital ones - a meat one, because I was fed up trying to judge if chicken was cooked and a sugar thermometer for jam. The meat one is rubbish and I'm not sure if it's accurate, it keeps misting up even though I'm careful when washing it. Don't know the brand of either of them but just cheap.
ReplyDeleteI don't use one but have considered getting one.
ReplyDeleteI don't use one.
ReplyDeleteNo i don't
ReplyDeleteI haven't used one before
ReplyDeleteDon't currently use one
ReplyDeleteno I dont own one but worry about cooking christmas dinner this year for the relatives so considering buying one.
ReplyDeleteNot yet. I have chicken paranoia so really should get one.
ReplyDeleteI don't use a thermometer, but I've always wanted one - I just never seem to get round to actually buying one! This one looks fab
ReplyDeleteNo, but I really should invest in one (if I don't win that is!)
ReplyDeleteNo, never owned a meat thermometer. It's my absolute dream to own one, this one would be the Rolls Royce of all meat thermometers! :)
ReplyDeleteI do for roasts. I can't find a name on it.
ReplyDeleteold brass type
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have a meat thermometer
ReplyDeleteAMANDA ROBINSON
ReplyDeleteNo never used one. Seen my father in law use his many a times
I've never used one before.
ReplyDeleteI've never used one before.
ReplyDeleteNo, I dont but would love one!
ReplyDeleteI've never used a thermometer befored
ReplyDeleteNo, but I would if I had one.
ReplyDeleteNever used a Thermapen, but I have used a (rather cheap) thermometer. Even with something basic, the difference it makes to cooking is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI have never used one but love one x
ReplyDeleteIve only ever used as sugar thermometer which isn't that great to be honest. this would make it all so much easier
ReplyDeleteI need one because I always have to guess, and have been known to make mistakes. As yet, they haven't been fatal....
ReplyDeleteHaven't used one, but certainly needed
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't
ReplyDeletei haven't, but should.
ReplyDeleteNot yet!
ReplyDeleteI have an ancient old-fashioned jam thermometer which has a glass bulb filled with some red liquid, and a metal scale to the side which is in Fahrenheit and has marked on it temperatures for jam, boiled sweets, caramel and other sweets you cook in a pan. It is quite hard to read as you have to get the liquid at the correct angle to line it up with the scale, and of course it is no use for measuring the temperature of other types of food such as roasts. A thermapen would be a great improvement.
ReplyDeleteDont use one now but used one when i used to work in a canteen so know how good they can be
ReplyDeletenot really, only for making jam
ReplyDeleteYes I do but no idea what brand - its a cheap one from ebay
ReplyDeleteNo I dont use one but would love one x
