ThermoPro TP01A Digital Instant-Read Meat Cooking Thermometer

This item got accidently put in water. I didn’t throw it in rice or anything but intended to buy a replacement. When it dried out it continued to work.

Great in all aspects

Good overall thermometer but should have come with cover or storage box.

This works, but it can be a bit confusing to use properly, so I find myself saving it only when I truly NEED to verify that meat is cooked, not very often. But when I need to do that, I sure am glad I have this guy on hand and that’s why I bought a very cheap thermometer- I rarely need it.

I wanted to give this thermometer five stars because it is built so nicely and it’s so easy to use. The problem is that it is not 100% accurate. When I test the temperature of boiling water, the thermometer reads 210 degrees. All in all, not a bad product. It is just slightly off.

It’s been a few years since I’ve purchased a digital meat thermometer and the previous one I had took quite a while to read properly. Since I use it largely for grilling it could get quite painful to hold it over the grill for any length of time. This thermometer takes only a few seconds to read the temperature, and it seems very accurate. I grilled several large pieces of chicken and, because of hot spots on the grill, I was able to take readings of the pieces and adjust their placements accordingly so they were all done and up to the correct temperature at the same time… normally I would have cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they were cooked in the center. I am very impressed with this little thermometer and it doesn’t cost much at all.

That’s exactly what it supposed to do

My son loves it. He is color blind so cooking meat is always a gamble.

Works great, can be finicky to turn on. Temp read is instant. Only 4 stars because it chewed through its batteries in only 4 months with light use. Not sure if they gave me dud batteries. The rubber tip it comes with is nice so you don’t stab anything accidentally.

The first one stopped working, but the company replaced it straightaway.

Simple to use. I use several times a week and so far, this one works perfectly.

Works great. Easy to use and great for all needs within the kitchen and other household uses.

Works great so far. We use it alot. Just wish it had a magnet on the back like one we had previously.

This thermometer does exactly what is designed to do. Very easy to use and appears to be accurate. I would buy it again!

Almost instant temperature ,have used many others and this is the fastest read

It quit a few months after I rec’d it and while still under warranty. Company promised to send me one ‘once back in stock’. Never got it. Replaced with an Easylife, which reads faster and appears better built.

It’s super easy to use

The thermometer is small, easy to clean and easy to use. The problem is in thick meat. I am still trying to understand the sweet spot when testing the temps.

First, this thermometer has a very small readout & the operations buttons are crowded together (not good in haste or with shaky or chubby fingers).
Second, the off/on button is the same as the F/C button, so it’s easy to get a Centigrade reading when you want Fahrenheit, making it look as though the reading is off.
Third, the digital display is way too small for convenience. Pulling steaming food out of an oven to test the temp is normally sufficiently risky without adding having to get within inches of the device, with a tilted head, in order to read it.
All in all, not particularly useful. My recommendation: Pay another $6 for a versatile, angeled, easy-to-read thermometer. I did. 🙂

Works great on meat. Don’t recommend as a thermometer because it’s sharp. But since I don’t have one that works and everyone in the world just bought them all up….it’s gonna have to just double up.

Love this! Works great!

First of all the product arrived a few days early, I have tried it on several foods already and it performs as advertised in fact I may get another one or two as gifts

Great!

Died after less than 18 months of occasional use

Worked great for meat temps.

So far this is the first meat thermometer that hasn’t died on me after just a few uses. Crossing my fingers it’s lasts a long time!

Did not even last a year. Maybe 5 total uses.

It seems accurate… Easy to use.

Just got this thing in the mail an hour ago, been working on some ribs for lunch all morning. Took it out of the package, checked the calibration with two other thermometers and used it as i pulled my ribs off the grill. I can actually see the temp reading on this bad boy, i can dig it!

Update: I also roast our own coffee, this thermometer is rated to the temperatures I need to keep up with 1st crack on coffee beans (around 410°) however the steam coming from the roasting drum and the high temperature of the probe for extended periods melted the housing. I may have gotten it too close in order to reach the back of the drum. I still recommend this product just don’t expose it to high temps for excessive periods of time; Check the temp and move on.

Bought this for my homemade smoker. I put it to the test yesterday and it was perfect… The salmon is very very good too…

I just bought a second one of these for my in-laws house since ours has been so reliable. I think we’ve had the first one over a year and no issues.

4 stars just because I just used it one time, I am not sure how long it will last or if it will be accurate as now as time goes by.

So far product as described, working well and no issues.

Mine is now completely useless in less than a year of purchasing. Even before it became garbage the light never stayed on and it would switch back and forth between F and C even if I pressed hold. Now, it will start taking a temp and just go to a blank screen and then switch on again with a completely innacurate read. It’s never been in the dishwasher, only hand washed the metal part. Save your money and buy a slightly more expensive one that will work and last.

Worked well until it was dropped into water

I love this thing, ever since I started using this my food has come out tasting bomb lol.

This thing is a lifesaver! It’s very reliable with temperature, easy to figure out how to use, easy to clean. It’s small and easy to store as well, and came with batteries! Definitely recommend.

Great features- lights, digital, can retain reading. For me it’s a learning curve – inserting at as easy-read angle and remembering which buttons to press for functions. Only used twice so far but know I will like using it.

Nice very lightweight and easy to use

Use this in a pinch —very useful

Works great and fast.

I love how quickly this reads the temperature and the probe length is very helpful. I’ve used it for meats, liquids and lasagna. I highly recommend this.

Update 6/12: finally had been contacted and a free replacement was received in the mail.

Worked well when it did. Purchased less than 6 months ago with minimal grilling time (winter months in MI). Displaying error code LL.L. Reached out to ThermPro on their website and it has been over 2 weeks with repeated requests for service, and no response.

I do not recommend this product.

This one didn’t work well for me at all prompting me to buy a more expensive brand to stop the faulty thermometer issues I had.

Love this! Very easy to use! This tool makes grilling so much easier for me.

🙁

Wish I would have bought this sooner. Easy to use and accurate. No more guessing if meat is done.

Excellent digital thermometer… I use it professional… Whether it’s taking the temperature of meat for liquids, it works perfectly and quickly very true. I highly recommend it for home use or professional use

Pretty cheap

It already broke and was not accurate

This is a perfect probe for quick read out. I can have it in the drawer to telling temp under 5 seconds which is huge. Will def buy their products again.

The only issue I had was right at the start it kept cutting off. I couldn’t get it to stay on long enough to actually measure the temp. But after a little bull headedness it decided to play as part of the team. Its seems pretty cheaply made but it does work and it is accurate.

The buttons are a bit small and cheap. Sleep time a little long. Good value for the money.

It’s perfect and accurate every time. Not like the cheap ones that are difficult to read or take forever. This one is exactly what I wanted and needed.

Love this thermometer! I bought it specifically for baking/ candy making, and used it for the first time to make hazelnut honeycomb candy.

Extremely easy to use, feels sturdy and is super intuitive. I had to boil my honey mixture to 295 degrees, and I used this thermometer to make sure it reached temp.

I have yet to use it on meats since I’m vegetarian, but I can attest that it’s perfect for making candy and marshmallows!

Seem to work fine time will tell the rest

Great Product!

We use this when we cook chicken on the stove top. It’s easy to read, easy to use, and seems to be quite accurate. It’s held up well to washing and to multiple uses.

Great buy – sturdy, portable, accurate –

We love this product! We’ve been wanting one for a while. The price was fantastic for the value we received. I would recommend this thermometer for everyone!

This unit is basic very easy to use I like the long probe. This is the best one ive had for awhile.

Instantly gives the temp of foods is very helpful in the kitchen!

Works great, accurate, like how I can put in my pocket when I am done.

This product was purchased for summer meat smoking, but I used it for a whole chicken and was very impressed! Highly accurate, and easy to use.

That’s it – nice small penetrating tip’s a plus.

I’ve only used this once so I cannot speak to how well it will hold up over time. But it worked perfectly for my Thanksgiving turkey. For the price it seems pretty good.

My wife breaks these pretty often. But this one has been used for a few months with no problems. She is a hobby chef and is very happy with it.

Edit: This lasted a few weeks. It was set near the sink, It got a little wet, It no longer works. I get that it was not meant to be waterproof, but I would expect it to take a little splash….

I needed a new instant read thermometer prior to the holiday season so I bought this item. During both Thanksgiving and Christmas I used the items to measure the temperature of both a Turkey and Rib Roast. Both temperatures were on target and were served at the desired doneness. Overall it’s a pretty decent thermometer at a fairly reasonable price point.

Give the number very quickly, and has a light in case the lighting is bad when you are using it, like BBQing at night.

I guve it 3 star because i cant believe that the image was so literal, And what I mean by that is that this thermometer does not come with a case to cover the tip. It came with a little rubber to cover the tip but as I use it to work in a busy kitchen as a chef I lost the little rubber It’s more effective if it came with an actual case I mean really why won’t I want a thermometer that comes with a case that’s just standard Everybody that I showed my thermometer to at work were shocked that it did not come with a case to cover the tip

Does not last long if it gets too wet. Good deal for the price though.

Difficult to read because you have to continuously press backlight. Doesn’t stand on it’s own in the neat because it’s so long.

Defective product. It stopped working after a few weeks of use.

Was a gift husband loves it!

I suspect it was on a shelf for a while. I tested the batteries and found them with almost no charge. I accidentally melted it (my fault), so I ordered a new one. The batteries are fine. FYI, I was able to salvage the batteries I placed in the first one.

Ive gotten the thermometer wet and it still works! The probe is really long and its not easy to store. It doesn’t have a case or anything similar. It poked a whole through my bag. The screen is also small and often hard to read but the built in light helps. Overall, it does the job and for the price its a good choice.

Finally found a thermometer that is easy to use and accurate. I would highly recommend. I just recently bought a second one for our coach. I really love this thermometer! I have tried many thermometers and felt underwhelmed with them. I highly recommend and tell all my friends

Broke after a month

Easy to use! No issues at all!

Takes a bit to get the temperature. I would not consider this to be instant read. It is accurate and easy to read. Perfectly adequate for the money spent.

I actually used this on my redneck bowling ball oil remover. I stuck a bowling ball in a cardboard box along with a hair dryer and was able to achieve a temperature of 162 degrees.

Works great.easy to read and battery last forever.

I like using when I BBQ. Works great and easy to use. Keeps my steaks medium rare

As described works great!

When I took chemistry in high school I was taught water boiled at 212 degrees F. This thermometer says it boils at 210. I use this thermometer for making coffee and a couple of degrees is important. Although it fits well in my hot water kettle I neen better accuracy.

Great

Easy to use just wish it used different batteries. Uses watch batteries. Triple a would be better/ easier to change out. Other than that good product.

Works great

1 star because it broke extremely fast. The probe came out of the plastic part. Not very well made

Long probe makes easier reaching into the meat without overheating electronics.

Bargain thermometer is ok.

Insta read thermometers are a must to get food to the correct temperature. The difference in the taste, moisture, and texture of my food has improved since I started to cook to temperature instead of time. Get yourself one and see for yourself. It also helps to have the correct temperature so you don’t make people sick or kill them.

Easy to use and accurate

Lost the tip right away. Must hold down forever to turn it off.

It probs, it reads temps, it has a light! Works great for the price point.

I rarely use a cooking thermometer unless I’m making something special with better or more costly ingredients than I would normally use. . I bought this one because it looked easier to use than my old thermometer and ThermoPro claimed it was instant-read. . The first time I tried it the display kept rapidly switching between celsius and fahrenheit until it went completely dead. I assumed it was the battery and replaced it. Today I tried it again and the same thing happened. It’s too late to return it of course. Because of the high rating I assume most of these work but I got a defective one. It was only $10 (now $8) so I’m not out much money. If do buy one of these make sure it works right away and don’t wait until you’re at a crucial time in your recipe.

Worked great for 6 months then crapped out. Changed the battery, didn’t matter.
