Just in time for Memorial Day grilling, barbecuing, and smoking, the thoughtful folks over at ThermoWorks have put together a sale that you won’t want to miss. Starting today, you can get my favorite meat thermometer 30% off. It’s the Thermapen One, and I like it so much, I even bought one for my dad.
I’ve been using the Thermapen One for about eight months now, and I don’t know how I ever hosted a Friendsgiving without it. I’d rather forget those days when I nearly roasted my own arm because some other crummy meat thermometer took forever to measure the temperature of my oven-roasted turkey. Though I primarily use the Thermapen One for meat, don’t limit yourself—this handy probe thermometer can be used to check the doneness of breads, cakes, and casseroles too.
The Thermapen One gives you an accurate reading in one second (hence the name). While that is absolutely fantastic, it’s the other features that set it apart. It has a hinged probe, so you can collapse it when it’s not in use. (It automatically shuts off when you fold the end in.) When you open it up, the digital display is backlit so you can easily see the reading. Best of all, the numbers rotate with the screen orientation. This sounds like an “okay, who cares” feature, but you’d be surprised how many weird angles you have to use to get to the center of a thigh or avoid hitting a turkey bone while trying to keep your knuckles from getting burned on a grill grate. A temperature reading that orients automatically right-side-up is extremely helpful.
My dad’s the grill guy in our family, and the quick reading is the main feature that drew him to this thermometer in the first place: No more waiting around for the temperature to finish climbing while you lose heat from your grill with the lid open. In fact, if you want to get ahead of Father’s Day shopping, this is a great opportunity to grab a deal, and you'll feel proud of yourself for being so organized and thoughtful.
The Thermapen One is on sale through May 27, so if shipping times won't get it to you by this weekend, at least you'll have it to get you through the rest of grilling season.
