I don’t know about you but I can’t afford to eat out or have takeaways every day so I do what millions of us do every day and switch the oven on and cook my food. Now I’m not a cook in any sense of the word. I mostly stick to things I can throw in the oven or the airfryer for 20 minutes or something where I can quite comfortably follow instructions while using a bit of common sense. When cooking fresh meat, from sausages to steak, my biggest fears are worrying about undercooking it and knowing when it is done and therefore actually safe to eat. Cooking meat to the correct temperature is crucial for both safety and flavour. Undercooked meat can harbour harmful bacteria, while overcooked meat can become dry, tough and tasteless. Achieving the perfect temperature ensures that meat is juicy, tender, and safe to eat. But how? This is where a reliable meat thermometer comes into play, measuring the temperature of the meat so you can cook it better (or at least I can). Behold the Thermapen One, a fast and accurate digital food thermometer, a must for any kitchen.

If you’re serious about cooking, whether it’s meat to bread to cakes, to get them to perfection they need the correct temperature and the Thermapen One food thermometer is a fantastic easy to use tool to help with that.

The Thermapen One is a digital food thermometer. In fact, it is one of the fastest and most accurate food thermometers on the market with an impressive response time of just 1 second. It is available in a very impressive range of colours (11) and then there are also limited edition colours (6) so can easily be matched to your kitchen colouring. While it doesn’t come with a storage pouch or holder these can be purchased separately.

The ThermaPen One has been designed with user-friendliness in mind. It has a large chunky and easy to hold body (it measure approx. 14 x 4 x 2cm when folded / 27 x 4 x2cm when fully unfolded). The body features a 4 x 3cm backlit digital display, which is extremely easy to read with its large numbers, even in low light conditions – and the display rotates automatically to the angle you are holding the thermometer at, ensuring you can always see the temperature clearly. And there is no setup needed and no buttons to be pressing.

To use it, just unfold the probe from the body. Once the probe is pulled away from the body it automatically switches on and displays the tip temperature (it doesn’t start at zero). Then just push the probe tip into your food, whether it is meat, cakes, bread or even hot water, and within 1 SECOND the temperature will change and give you an accurate temperature reading with a fault tolerance of ±0.3 °C.

Now, I know what you are thinking – great, I know the temperature of my chicken joint or my burgers on the BBQ – but what does it mean? How do I know if it is a safe temperature to eat? Do not fear, the Thermapen guide that comes with the thermometer has a handy list of temperatures from rare, medium and well done beef, lamb & veal (52°C to 71°C), chicken, turkey & duck (74°C), fish (60°C) as well as water temperatures, baking temperatures and confectionery temperatures.

Overall, the Thermapen One digital food thermometer is a must have kitchen gadget for any cook. Its speed, accuracy, ease of use, and durability make it a standout choice for ensuring your meat is cooked to perfection every time. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to perfectly cooked meals with the Thermapen One.

It is so easy to use and the speed it displays the temperature at is very impressive (you can test this by boiling water on the cooker and measuring the temperature with the probe). It has a durable IP67 waterproof design and feels very robust and built to last (it even comes with a 5 year guarantee). Perfect for the rigors of a busy kitchen as it can handle accidental drops and spills.

With an extremely fast read time and temperature display, it can measure temperatures between -49.9 and 299 °C.

It is a versatile device as it is not just perfect for meat. It is also versatile enough to be used for other cooking tasks such as baked goods, sweets or even hot drinks.

The temperature reading is displayed in °C but it can be changed to °F – just unscrew the battery compartment and there are two buttons; S (SET) and M (MENU). Using these buttons you can go through the menus to change configuration settings as mentioned above as well as resolution, screen rotation and auto off/sleep mode.
