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.

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.

Was provided the product by the seller to review, but this is my honest feedback:Bottom Line - Nice meat thermometer for the price of ~$10, the temperature seems accurate and registers very quickly (2-3 seconds), the display is a little small but still easy to read and backlit, the buttons are easy to use/understand and it come with a protective cap for the pointy end. Would recommend ThermoPro based on first impressions, can't speak to it longevity but don't expect any issues. Full review below.The thermometer arrived quickly and in good shape, well package with an instruction book and customer service contact card. Simply pulled the plastic tab at the battery compartment and turned on with a nice backlit display. I was cycling it from Celsius to Fahrenheit (because I'm in 'merica) and the display reset on me (like a power cycle). I fidgeted with the buttons and it did it again. At this point I took the battery compartment door off and reseated both button batteries and it has been fine since.1. Don't just pull the plastic tab, take the time to open the battery compartment and remove the plastic and make sure the batteries all fully reseat.Once I had it working I tested it out at room temperature, my thermostat read 78 deg and the TP01A was reading right around 79 deg, so first check pretty good. I cycled power (hold down the power button for three seconds to turn off) and it was coming in around 80 deg but dropped back down to around 79 deg.Next, tested it in the toaster oven against another name brand meat thermometer we have used for years. I was just comparing readings of the hot air (don't put these things in the oven as I am sure the plastic would melt) and it was pulling in right beside my other thermometer (within a degree) and even got there a little quicker. Second check passed.So now I am putting this in some chicken with my other thermometer right beside it and the TP01A was quick to register the temperature, while the name brand took another few seconds to get there, they both settled on a temp that was within a degree of each other so I call that pretty good. Overall happy with the performance of this thermometer.

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 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 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.

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

Having a food thermometer allows me to accurately cook food so I don't overcook them. This thermometer is perfect, works well, and does all I need.

This is fantastic. I use it with meat, oil, milk, stews and even baked items to check the inside temperature. It is instant and you get the reading the moment you poke it in.

Lectura rápida, muy bien producto.

This has honestly been great. We use it for milk frothing, tea testing, cooking temperature reading etc. It works really well and is easy to switch between celsius and Fahrenheit.

must have for bakers, has all the features you need - backlight, C and F readings. Can't speak to the accuracy as I don't have any to compare to but it seems pretty accurate, haven't had any problems. Compact and easy to clean and has a cover for the tip to protect.
