This week’s top kitchen tool is an instant read thermometer, the number one favorite of my friend Joni, of My Gluten Free Friend, and I have to agree with her. Both my husband and I use our Thermapen all the time and like it.
The Thermapen reads out accurate (to better than 1F) temperatures in 2 to 3 seconds. It’s splashproof and its large display is easy to read even in low light. It has no buttons, turning on when you rotate the probe into position and shutting off automatically.
We have a classic model called the “Super-Fast Thermapen” that is not cheap at $79 but it has lasted for years. This is the instant read thermometer that America’s Test Kitchen use in their test kitchen.
I just looked on Amazon and could not find it. ThermoWorks.com has it as does KingArthurFlour.com
This would be a great gift for any cook.
