We enjoy trying new kitchen gadgets. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Thermapen ONE by ThermoWorks (Thermapen ONE | ThermoWorks) is an instant read food thermometer that works in one second. When we read that in the brand’s information, we found it hard to believe, but we were proven wrong. Thermapen ONE works exactly as it says it will – in one second and the reading is accurate to 0.1 degree.
Thermapen ONE is switched on by unfolding the probe until the display comes on and turned off by folding the probe back into the rubber retainer. The thermometer should be stored in the closed position. It is powered by one AAA battery and the display will signal when a replacement is needed. Thermapen ONE can be set to read either F or C degrees and measures temperatures to one degree or one-tenth of a degree. A light sensor continuously measures light levels and will trigger a backlight when needed. Each Thermapen ONE comes with a Certificate of Calibration to verify the accuracy of the temperature reads.
It has been estimated that only 20% of home cooks use a food thermometer and the eyeball test for doneness is never the best approach. Foodborne illness can be serious and avoided by cooking foods to the correct internal temperature. Having a reliable food thermometer is important. Thermapen ONE is an excellent product and would make a great gift for someone setting up a kitchen for the first time as well as a valuable tool for experienced cooks.
