ThermoPro TP19H Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Grilling BBQ Waterproof

So easy a caveman (if he needed to) could use it!

So far have been impressed. Have only used once.

So easy to use, best one I’ve used.

So easy to use and the temp reading is so quick

So easy to use and it’s fast. Magnetic so we keep in in east reach on the fridge. The only thing we didn’t like is the battery that came with it was already dead. Fortunately we just pop in a new one and all is good.

So far it’s great. Seems we’ll built. Temperature readings are quick and the magnet feature is really cool.

Simple, easy and waterproof

Simple to use (just open the probe & stick into the meat!)

Simple and easy to use. Excellent readability of temperature with large numbers and good back light.

Should’ve bought a more expensive one- don’t think it is very accurate

So far so good! Will keep you posted as I use it more.

Some of the “readings” on the back for the temperatures are a bit off.

Super accurate

Stopped working after not even a year.

Steaks are juicy and done to perfection.

Somehow water got in it, even though I always hand washed it. Won’t turn on. Guess I’ll go back to the thermapen.

So far so good. Very easy to use and store. I was concerned on a few reviews I saw but overall was good. I have had no issues woth accuracy or peeformance.

So nice to have a quick read thermometer!

So good, look No further and purchase now!!

So fast

So far works great

Seems to be working well

Quit working after hand washing in sink! Could see condensation in the window and would not read.

Really fast read speeds for its price. The auto on/off is very convenient. All and all this packs in a ton of useful features for how little it costs.

Reads quickly and easily. Very satisfied!

Reads different temperatures each time. Never consistent. Waste of money. Don’t buy!

Quit working and only used a couple times a week for a year. Display showed placeholders, no digits.
Being an electronic tech I took it apart and fixed it. The problem is the wires coming from the sensor to the circuit board though the rotating hinge. They didn’t use stranded wire or flex circuit wiring. They use 22 or 24 ga solid enamel coated wire. Solid wire is destined to break in any design requiring flexible wires. So I soldered the broken wire back tougher but I don’t expect it to last long unless I replace wire with more flexible stranded. So don’t expect this to last long unless you rarely use. Try to rotate out the sensor probe little as possible and it might last longer.

Really like this thermometer. My favorite feature is the instant on when you extend the probe. Easy the read at any angle.

Quick response. Perfect for brewing and cooking. Auto-off and anti-on when you open or close it. The display is large and easy to read. The strong magnet makes it easy to store.

Quick readout of the temp

Quick Reading and easy to use

Quick read. The view flips over for right or left-handed operation, no reading upside down. I Like the auto on/off when the probe is deployed.
The turkey was righteous by the way.

Really love the ease of this thermometer. Super fast readings and accurate.

see above

Seems to be great quality. Easy to use and accurate. Great value for the money.

Seems to be a good thermometer (just received it) but unfortunately the battery compartment doesn’t close completely so it is not flush with the rest of the thermometer.

Seems accurate, is quick, and is easy to read.

See title

Really nice thermometer that does what it is supposed to do and seems accurate. I’m getting better results at the barbecue. Good price.

SCREW THAT HOLDS BATTERY COVER IN PLACE WAS CROSS THREADED AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT. PRODUCT IS SO GOOD IAM NOT RETURNING FOR REPLACEMENT. i REALLY LIKE IT !! TOM

Replaced my old thermometer that was ancient. Nice big digital readout works perfect for the grill. Almost instantaneous readout

Recommended by the on-line show Cooking in the Raw.

Recommend you buy it.

Super easy to read display, everything you need right out of the box, great packaging. Reading achieved super fast compared to other versions. Love this and wish I hadn’t waited so long to get this type of instant read thermometer.

Thermometer quit working after a couple months. Battery wasn’t the problem. I took care to use according to instructions. May have to try a different brand. In the meantime my old school thermometer still works, but it takes a little longer to register the temperature.

Thermpro has great customer service. I had issues and they replaced it promptly. The thermometer is awesome. Love it, definitely recommend

Thermopro makes a great product, I own others and this is by far the best.

Thermometer worked great right out of the box!

Thermometer reads quickly and accurately. What more would you ask for.

This device is extremely convenient. The magnet allows me to place it on the side of the fridge, so it is always available for quick access. Water proof makes cleaning a cinch. Backlight is amazing, and the auto shut off feature is extremely convenient.

Thermometer is easy to read, and insert in meat. used for stove top pot and worked well. Would recommend

There were so many to choose from and frankly some were really expensive. This one is awesome and not too expensive. Truly instant read. My steaks are cooked better now

There is a lot to like about this thermometer. It has a large, well it readout. It’s waterproof. It”s accurate (mine was anyway). But after less than a year with light usage, the plastic at the base of the probe cracked. It wasn’t long before the probe became detached and the thermometer became useless.

The TP19h is an excellent instant-read thermometer. I am thoroughly pleased. No problems, no quibbles.
Bottom line: this IS the bottom line. Look no further. Get one, you’ll be glad. Give one, you’ll be appreciated.

I’ve been using a ThermoPro TP18 instant-read thermometer for three years. Have been fully pleased. No problems. Recently I’ve been doing more grilling and smoking, at times when the kitchen is also busy. Found I needed a second instant-reader. After some searching I chose this TP19h. This review compares the two thermometers. (Spoiler: This TP19h wins.)

Both are accurate. In an ice-water bath test, this TP19h was slightly more accurate. See pic. Also note, the TP19h has an ice-water calibration feature, which I did not try since it was already accurate.

Both are easy to read. The TP18 has a red LED display, which I like. The TP19h uses an LCD display, with a LIGHT button to activate a backlight — helpful when grilling at night. Never need to use my reading glasses with either one. In the pic the backlight is activated. This TP19h readout has two advantages. First, the display rotates so it’s always a right-side-up readout. This is very considerate for left-handed people, and handy for everyone. Second, it has a “LOCK” feature. This locks the readout for five seconds. Might not sound like much but sometimes you have an awkward, very hot situation with grill or oven. The readout of the probe is only accurate while inserted (usually in meat). As soon as you pull it out the reading changes, whether you could see enough to read it while inserted, or not. With the LOCK feature you can hold that reading for five seconds after pulling it out. Handy.

The TP19h comes with one AAA battery, plus a little screwdriver for accessing the battery compartment. That’s part of the “waterproof” feature. The LCD display only needs one battery. The LED display on the TP18 needs two AAA batteries. Those are slightly easier to change — no screwdriver needed — but the TP18 makes no pretension to waterproofness. The two instruments are about equal on this since you don’t change batteries often.

“Waterproof”: I wouldn’t suggest submersing the TP19h. Absolutely never run it through a dishwasher! However, with a “waterproof” thermometer it’s easier to clean and sanitize the handle without worry, and easier to use at the grill, in the rain, without worry. It’s more likely to survive a drop in a puddle or in a boiling pot. If you only have one thermometer, and it dies while preparing a feast or party, well, that’s not good. I like survivable tools. The TP19h wins on this.

Locking: The TP18 has an unlock button, used when extending the probe, which locks in the 180 degree position. The probe works at any angle, but needs to lock to make insertion work. This TP19h has no lock button. Doesn’t need it. There is enough friction in the hinge to stay right where you put it, including at 180, which is the usual position for insertion. That’s a small plus over the TP18, but with one caution: Be careful when turning the probe into position. Keep fingers close to the handle. If you yank on the probe’s end it may bend or break. You’ll see this as soon as you handle it. Probes are not screwdrivers, and must be treated as delicate instruments. Honestly, I usually just leave the probe in the fully-extended position.

Hanging loops: Both instruments have hanging loops. This TP19h has a far more robust hole, built right into the butt of the handle. The TP18 has a much lighter, external loop — perfectly serviceable, but clearly not as robust. This difference is easily seen in the second pic.

Meat charts: Both instruments have the same handy little “doneness” chart on the back. Note that for regular pork (ham) it shows 160 F/ 71 C. That’s a bit old-fashioned. USDA changed its recommended minimum temperature for cooked pork to 145 a few years ago. This is a matter for doing your own research to determine how you want to assess pork for doneness. I’ve been using 145 F.

Temperature scales: Both instruments allow switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius. The TP18 seems to do it often, inadvertently, which is annoying. Heck, it leads to panic if you don’t know how to swiftly switch it back to your preferred scale. The TP19h switches easily but it’s a more purposeful, conscious, intentional action — definitely an improvement.

Magnets: Both have magnets on the back. Mine usually lives on the vent hood over the stove. When grilling or smoking it stays nicely on a cool piece of steel by the grill.

Usage tips: Use it anywhere. Making soup or stock? Not quite boiling? Well, just how hot is it? Now you know. Great for testing baked potatoes — I like them at 195-205 F. Great for testing cupcakes, cakes, or pumpkin pie. I had a pumpkin pie this year, in an unfamiliar oven, that just didn’t look done on time. Yep, when tested, it was definitely not done. (Bad calibration on that oven.) However, ALL instant-read thermometers work poorly on small or thin items. They aren’t designed for that, but they work fine if you’re smart. Baking meatballs in the oven? You’ll get a fake reading if you test just one, but an accurate reading if you spear TWO meatballs together. Checking sausages or hamburgers? If you stab straight in, as you look at them from above, the reading will be wrong. Instead, poke them from the side of the burger or the end of the sausage, to get to the middle. A pair of tongs is quite helpful for this. Heck, I even use it for testing stuff in the microwave. I could do a finger test for the middle of a bowl of reheated mashed potatoes, for example, but some people freak out about the finger. (Yeah, they shouldn’t be in the kitchen.) Plus, if the thing IS hot it can be painful for the finger. Thermometer is better. Since you know how long you just heated the item, a quick temperature check gives a lot of confidence in how much longer to reheat.

Instruction manual: The TP19h has a good little instruction manual, in English and French. For the English part, I was impressed that it was in actual, decent English instead of the common “made in China and translated on the moon” kind of not-English. Explained things well. Worth keeping handy, if only for when you might need that calibration feature in a few years. Also, keep the little screwdriver handy.

Bottom line (this time at the bottom): TP19h is a great addition to your kitchen. Do not hesitate. Every kitchen needs a good instant-read thermometer, and this one is very good indeed.

Cooking is love, even for bachelors. Cook well. Cook often. Try new stuff — safely, with a good thermometer. Put your love on a plate. People really need that.

If you read this far and it was helpful, hey, please click the button so I know I didn’t waste my time, or yours. Be well.

This device registers the food’s temperature quickly and accurately. I compared it against two analogue thermometers and temperature was within less than 1 degree of each. This device is much quicker than the previous units I’ve owned

This is a great thermometer. It lights up and has big numbers for easy reading

This is a great thermometer. I love how it has a background light and reads the temperature of food super fast. Would highly recommend to anyone who BBQ.

This is a great product.

This is a great item for outdoor grill people. I now know more and have more control and confidence in what I’m doing.

This had been the best DigitalThermometer we ever had. Looking forward to purchasing the Wireless version

This is a fun and must have for your grilling/BBQ needs

This is a day one review, so no telling of longevity or true waterpoofing.

I have an older Taylor digital I was using to temp aquarium water for water changes. It was accurate, but slow. Also, not the easiest to read display. Granted, this thermometer is over 10 years old.

The new thermometer is easy to read, super-super fast, and has a nice design. I realized from the pics it would be a bit larger than my old thermometer, but it’s honestly very easy to wield for my uses. Also, it’s within a degree of my old Taylor, and even closer to my aquariums own dead accurate thermometer.

This instant read thermometer is the best. It’s large lighted display is easy to read, even without reading glasses. It’s orange color makes it simple to find in a crowed kitchen drawer. I highly recommend.

This has been a definite improvement from our old thermometer. As soon as you unfold the temperature probe the unit turns on, the read out flips for easy reading depending on how you hold it. Fast temperature readings.

The ThermoPro Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer is perfect for my grilling needs. It works quick and is easy to read. I like being able to stick it to my grill while using it outside. No worries about it falling on the ground or getting dirty.

Thank you for a quality product.

The best for the price

The best

The accuracy

Thanks, very good product I am very pleased with everything

The device appears very sturdy and well-made. It even came with a tiny Phillips screwdriver to open the battery case. Plus a magnet which would allow one to be stuck on any ferrous surface in a handy location.
My only concern is that it isn’t really instant-read. Depending on the starting temperature, it could take a few seconds to stabilize the probe temperature after insertion. I learned this while grilling rib steaks on a Weber kettle. Next time I’ll use an OveGlove to hold onto the thermometer!
I am pleased with my purchase nonetheless. Better than anything I’ve had before.

Temperature reading is almost instantaneous. Very intuitive to use. I love that it turns off when you close it. This feature will prevent the battery from running out prematurely by me forgetting to turn it off.

Temp is wrong

Takes out a lot of the guesswork. Good deal for the money also. I’m sorry I didn’t purchase this thermometer sooner.

Super easy, very affordable and did exactly what I wanted it to do.

The display is very easy to read, and instant temperature reading for meat is really great!
Completely satisfied in choosing the ThermoPro for my grilling needs!

The problem with all of these in the past is they simply stop working. So that remains to be seen?

The thermometer works instantly and has a hold feature to lock the reading. I’ve had it for quite awhile and have the original battery in it.

The thermometer has a back light that comes in handy at night barbeques. It comes on automatically when you pivot the probe down. The numbers are large and easy to read for those that are over 50 years of age. the accuracy was close only one degree off. The best way to check is to get a cup of ice water and put the thermometer in it, as long as you have both ice and water the temperature will be 32 degrees.

The readings of the two are very close which gives me peace of mind.

The product bid accurate and nothing could be easier to use.

The easiest and most accurate thermometer.

The person receiving the gift especially liked the magnet feature!

The magnet – I love it, stays next to the stove on the side of the fridge – no need to dig through a drawer to use it. Always ready when you are.

The instructions are simple and largely idiot proof. I appreciate that as I get older.

The features of this are great, but the wires that go to the temperature probe are very thin, and as they go through the hinge to open and close the probe, it didn’t take long for them to break. If it was a thicker wire, it’d likely be a perfect product.

Quality, easy to fit in front pocket, cleans easy to

Love this gadget. Bought for my husband But took it over.

Love this thermometer! It folds up nicely- and has a VERY ACCURATE temp read! Hardest thing about it was getting the battery in (WHICH IT COMES WITH!!!) I was holding a white thing going “well… what is THIS for I wonder… and how do you put the battery IN??”… turns out it was the screwdriver that it comes with to put the battery THAT IT COMES WITH in😜🤪 Love this thermometer! Very happy!

Love this product. Simple and accurate. Easy to clean. It’s always in my pocket when I am at the smoker or grill

Love this product! Very easy to use and read. Quick read out. Plus it’s waterproof, so it easy easy to clean without worrying about damaging it.

Love this instant read thermometer 🌡️ it is easy to read with the lit screen.

Love this thermostat, bought several as gifts. We even tested it for accuracy (switched to Centigrade and boiled water = 100*C. Our ThermoPro TP19H recently developed a crack near the base. I contacted customer service and they are replacing it for free (no shipping and handling either.) Very pleased with the thermometer and customer service

Love this candy thermometer. Everything about it is easy. Easy to use. Well lit. Large numbers. Great bargain.

Love this . Checked accuracy it was right on the money hi and low . Bought 2 others for my boys .

love the product, I bought one for myself, my son and my sister, everybody loves the product. Mine has quit working, how can I get a replacement

Love the magnet for storage.

Love this thing for the grill and so much better than any of my other handhelds (which are now in the garbage). The digital display being able to flip no matter which direction you hold it is awesome too. Highly recommend!

Made roasted chicken and turkey , so easy and reliable
