We're proud and deeply honored to announce that our latest product, the ThermoPro TP980 meat thermometer, has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025. This global recognition reflects not only the exceptional design of the TP980 but also our commitment to helping home cooks and grill enthusiasts achieve perfect results every time.

The Red Dot Award: Reflects True Cooking Innovation

Winning a Red Dot Award is a significant milestone. The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world's most respected design competitions, established in 1955 in Germany. It celebrates products that demonstrate outstanding design quality and innovation. Each year, thousands of products from around the globe are submitted for evaluation, but only those that truly stand out receive the coveted Red Dot mark.

For the TP980, the Red Dot jury praised its clever, user-centered design:

> "The ThermoPro TP980 meat thermometer features four independently usable, colour-coded probes. They are charged and stored in their own individual boxes, which can be detached from the main unit as needed. Similarly, the display unit can be set up separately, allowing you to control the cooking process without having to look at your smartphone. Each probe has multiple internal sensors and an ambient sensor. Dual-mode Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity ensures stable signals in all environments."

This thoughtful design ensures that grilling, smoking, or roasting becomes not just easier, but also more reliable and enjoyable.

ThermoPro TP980: A Smart Wi-Fi Meat Thermometer

The ThermoPro TP980 is not just a wireless meat thermometer—it's a next-generation cooking assistant designed for precision, convenience, and versatility. Whether you're grilling, smoking, roasting, or baking, the TP980 ensures your food is cooked to perfection every time.

Clever Modular Design for Real-World Use

What truly sets the TP980 apart—and what caught the attention of the Red Dot jury—is its modular design. Each probe is stored and charged in its own individual box, which can be detached from the main unit when needed. This makes organizing and storing the meat thermometer simple and tidy, whether you're at home or taking your thermometer to a barbecue party.

This design reflects ThermoPro's deep understanding of how people actually cook. We know that in real kitchens and backyards, convenience, flexibility, and reliability matter just as much as accuracy.

Four Color-Coded Probes for Multi-Temperature Monitoring

The TP980 comes with four detachable, color-coded probes, allowing you to monitor four kinds of meat or four sections of large cuts (like brisket or turkey) simultaneously. Each probe has 3 internal sensors and an ambient sensor, which allows you to monitor both the internal temperature of different pieces of meat and the temperature of the cooking environment itself. Additionally, each probe is stored and charged in its own magnetic docking station, keeping them organized and ready for use.

Dual Wireless and Wi-Fi Connectivity for Reliable Monitoring

Another standout feature of the TP980 is its dual-mode connectivity. By supporting both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, this smart meat thermometer ensures a stable and responsive signal in virtually any cooking environment. Whether you're cooking indoors, in your backyard, or even at a campsite, you can rely on a strong connection to your smartphone. This flexibility means you can step away from the grill, relax with your guests, or even check on your roast from another room, all while knowing you're still in control.

Intuitive and User-Friendly

Great design isn't just about looks—it's about usability. The TP980 offers an intuitive user experience:

Clear, high-contrast display for easy reading in bright sunlight or dim kitchens.
Simple pairing process for connecting your probes and booster.
Smart notifications to alert you when your food reaches the desired temperature.

These features are designed to give cooks of all experience levels more confidence and better results, whether grilling a steak to medium-rare perfection or roasting a holiday turkey.

Final Thoughts
