Ease of Use of Meat Thermometer

Cooking thermometers, as you may already know that do all the same things. These are very simple piece of technology isn’t it? But you may have noticed that some of the thermometer’s manufacturer have made them as complex as possible. This is not the case with thermompro thermometers. Their manuals are so easy to read and understand.

I find thermopro tp08 digital meat thermometer very handy regarding:

Temperature alerts
Lost link warning
You can use tp08 for variety of food items including candy, cakes, meat, and vegetables.
Ability to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures
Count-down and count-up timer

Thermopro TP08 Accuracy

One of the impressive feat of thermopro tp08 digital meat thermometer is it’s accuracy. This is one of the biggest reason people praise for this thermopro thermometer. Because of it’s accuracy, you can use it as a candy thermometer if desired.

Although, there is no doubt in accuracy of this thermopro tp08 digital thermometer but still it’s a good practice to have an ice water bath for accurate readings.

Thermopro TP08 Digital Thermometer Speed

Regarding speed, tp08 is not among the fastest meat thermometers. As every thermometer has been made with some specific feature in mind. That’s why thermopro tp08 thermometer has not been built for instant readings and fast speed but it has been designed for remote readings and to measure pit temperature.

But if you are seeking for instant read thermometer then thermapen would be a best suited thermometer for you to try.

Thermopro TP08 Build Quality

Thermopro tp08 digital remote wireless meat food cooking thermometer is not water not heat proof. Beside this, overall build quality of tp08 is not of high quality. This thermometer does suffer from some build quality issues. It’s rubber bumpers around the edge of transmitter and receivers become loose easily. But this drawback of build quality directly inherent from it’s price point of view. As compared to price, tp08 is most reliable and much suited tool for your kitchen.

NOTE: If you have to place your thermometer outdoor unattended then please place the transmitter in plastic bag.

Thermopro TP08 Probe Quality

Probes of thermopro tp08 are of sufficient quality. These Probes should never be cleaned with water but disinfected with paper towel. Beside this, we have not yet received any complaints regarding cables coming apart.

Thermopro OR Maverick?

This is a very confusing and hot question now a days among the buyer’s of food thermometers. Maverick thermometers are pioneer in food thermometers and have served for many years to food thermometer customers. Thermopro are new in the market as compared to maverick, but because of their low price, well managed build quality, customer satisfaction and variety of thermometers, their sales has increased a lot within short span of time. Because of this, people are confused about selection whether they should go with Maverick food thermometers or Thermopro food thermometers.

The reality is, Thermopro is gaining more customer attention as compared to maverick. Although maverick thermometers are also good for the purpose they has been built for but customer satisfaction and price has been positively targeted by thermopro manufacturer and this is the main reason which has withstand the thermopro thermometers in front of Maverick.

You can read a comparison between one of the best-selling meat thermopro thermometer tp20 and one of the popular meat thermometer by Maverick named as Maverick ET-733 by following the below link

Thermopro TP08 Cons

There is no probe indication which one is probe 1 and which is probe 2. I think probe numbering or color indication will serve the dual probe functionality much well. Mavericj ET-733 has probe indication functionality which will make dual probes easy to use and remember.
Up and down buttons would be handy to add. As we have to go through a cycle to find our desired setting temperature.
Button configuration may feel some users bit tricky.

Final Thoughts

Every product has some special purpose and an ideal use as well. Thermopro tp08 is not an instant read thermometer but it’s remote digital thermometer with wireless functionality which provides more freedom as compared to other thermometers. It also has some drawbacks including lack of dual probe indication of numbers or colors and also has some medium build quality material. Beside all of these drawbacks, if we compare this thermometer to other available in the market then it’s about $15 to $20 low price.

Overall, I have found thermopro tp08 digital remote wireless meat food thermometer best in look and features as compared to price. It serves best for what it has been designed. There are more than 1800 satisfied customers of this thermopro tp08 thermometer. So, I highly recommend this thermometer as an essential tool for your kitchen. But if you have some more budget then buy it’s updated version in the form of Thermopro tp20 meat food wireless remote thermometer.
