Thermapen ONE is better than a Classic Thermapen is in many significant ways, the most important being its ability to read temperatures 3 times faster and 30% more accurately than a Classic Thermapen does.

Thermapen ONE was redesigned so it's more comfortable to hold, the battery compartment is much easier to access, and the settings are easier to change. We have such confidence in Thermapen ONE's durability that we have increased its warranty period to 5 years versus Classic Thermapen's 2 years.

Other important Thermapen ONE advantages include:

• If its probe is open, a Thermapen ONE's display automatically wakes up whenever you touch it. When a Classic Thermapen goes to sleep, you must close its probe and reopen it to turn it back on.
• A Thermapen ONE uses 1-AAA battery; a Classic Thermapen uses 2-CR2032 batteries.
• A Thermapen ONE's display automatically rotates so you can read it from any direction; a Classic Thermapen's display does not rotate.
• A Thermapen ONE has a backlight; a Classic Thermapen does not.
• A Thermapen ONE is waterproof to IP67; a Classic Thermapen is splash-proof.

Both Thermapen models come with a NIST-traceable Calibration Certificate.

My husband bought this thermometer a few years back for meats/grilling and smoking. We're getting one for each of our 4 kids for Christmas next year....my yearly candy making for the holidays; near perfection! Peanut brittle, caramels, toffee....no more guess work. Highly recommend -spend the money.

The Thermapen ONE is excellent for taking fast temperature readings, but for monitoring your frying oil temperature, we recommended using a leave-in probe thermometer, like the ChefAlarm, Smoke or any of our other alarm thermometers. A leave-in probe thermometer would be a separate unit, but it would prevent leaving the body of an instant-read thermometer close to a heat source over an extended period.

Yes, it sure can!

Because the sensor is on the very tip of the probe, you only need to insert the probe to the thermal center (the coolest area) of the meat.

Here are some blog articles that demonstrate this principle:

Im using a NiMH battery and its working just fine, but I've just ordered a set of Lithium AAA batteries which are 1.5v, just like Alkaline batts BUT will last a lot longer than Alkaline and Lithium will not corrode and leak like Alkaline batteries will. It's a Win, win.

It is manufactured in the United Kingdom. (England)

The Thermapen's probe diameter (both models) is 3.30 mm and reduces to 1.8 mm at the tip.

Because it is an instant-read thermometer, the Thermapen ONE is great for spot-checking the temperatures of meat, including brisket, particularly at the end of the cook. If you want to continuously monitor temperatures during the entire cook, we would recommend a leave-in alarm thermometer such as DOT, Smoke, Signals, Smoke X, ChefAlarm, or ThermaQ 2.
