ThermoWorks ThermoPop 2 — Best Value Instant Read Thermometer - Dove Grey

Works fantastic! Very quick temperature reading. Battery lasts a very long time but easy to change. Nice, compact size.

I recently purchased the ThermoWorks Thermopop2, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance! This thermometer offers lightning-fast read times, providing accurate temperature readings in just a few seconds. It's been a game-changer in my kitchen, whether I'm grilling outdoors or baking indoors. What sets the Thermopop2 apart is its waterproof design, which makes it incredibly durable and easy to clean. I no longer worry about water damage, making it perfect for cooking in various conditions. The display is easy to read, and the rotating display feature ensures I can read the temperature from any angle. Overall, the ThermoWorks Thermopop2 is an essential tool for anyone who loves cooking. Its precision, durability, and user-friendly design make it worth every penny. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient cooking thermometer. Five stars all the way!

Literally haven't reviewed a product in YEARS, but I love this so much, here goes: I received a ThermoPop2 as a gift, and it's been awesome: a real game changer for my cooking! Especially meat, but anything where you want a quick and very accurate temperature reading quickly. I had 2 other meat thermometers but one was an inconvenient size (too big) and one wasn't easy to read. The ThermoPop2 is compact & a very easy size to use, and I can just stick it in the thickest and the thinnest parts of any roast etc. and know instantly how cooked it is. It's so easy, I now use it all the time, and all my meat and poultry are much tastier when they aren't dried out! (BTW, beef only needs to get to 145 degrees, but poultry to 165; who knew?!). I liked it so much, when I FOOLISHLY used the end of it as a tool to pry something out and bent the tip, breaking it, I missed it so much I bought myself another right away. They are very tough if you don't idiotically use one as an awl !

Wicked fast, easy to read, consistent performance. I had a Thermapen for years but when it died, I thought I’d try this one. Zero regrets. This may seem like a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a thermometer, but the performance and durability puts this in a class above almost anything you would find in a store.

Easy to read, the display can rotate 90° in any direction so you can read it no matter how it’s stuck in the food. It’s a little bit slower to read temps than some others I’ve used but it does get there if you give it a few seconds. It has a stainless steel pin and bright orange top, easy to find, easy to use, easy to clean.

Works well but the time, for my thermometer, at least, to reach temp is well over three seconds - closer to five. I also tested boiling water and it showed 215°, that's three degrees higher than what is the temperature of boiling water. I'll still use, it as long as it's consistent - just need to remember to know actual temp is three degrees cooler than display. Again, not saying that these issues are representative of all. There may have been an error in the calibration. Get one, it's affordable and apparently well-made. I like the design, display, color. I'D BUY IT AGAIN.

The ThermoPop 2 food thermometer has been a great addition to my kitchen toolkit, especially with the eye-catching blue color. Blue adds a fun pop to my counter top and makes it easy to find. The fun colors seem to go well with the sleek design of the thermometer. I’ll note that the probe cover matches the blue top. It clicks securely into place, which I appreciate for both aesthetics and functionality. Importantlly, I think this feature helps protect the thinner probe. It seems to be a bit more delicate compared to the Thermapen Classic or Thermapen ONE. For me, this makes the cover a crucial addition when storing or transporting the thermometer. What I really like about the ThermoPop 2 is the easy-to-read screen. The display is large and clear. It has a backlight that activates for 10 seconds when you press a small button. The button is a bit on the small side and a bit tricky to find without looking, but I think I’ll get used to this pretty quick. Personally, I think 10 seconds provides just the right amount of time to get a temperature reading without draining the battery. Additionally, the rotating display is a game-changer. It adjusts 90 degrees with each rotation, meaning I never have to twist my wrist or crane my neck awkwardly to see the temperature. While the backlight is slightly uneven, with one part of the circle being brighter than the rest, it hasn’t affected my ability to read the temperature accurately. The thermometer’s build feels robust, particularly the screen section, which gives a sense of durability. However, the top-heaviness of the device makes it feel a little imbalanced in my hand at first. After a few sessions of use, though, I find myself adjusting to this minor issue, and it no longer bothers me. I use the clip on the probe cover to store the thermometer in my shirt pocket. I found that I can easily slide the device out without pulling the cover along with it. Despite my initial worries about its weight distribution, the design has proven to be more functional than I expected. So I’m excited to have this as a possibility to store as I’m cooking so I’ll always know where it is. In terms of performance, it seems to me that the the ThermoPop 2 makes quick and accurate readings. It also comes with a calibration certificate, which is a nice touch even thought this is a more budget-friendly option. Thus, it seems to me that the ThermoWorks' reputation for precision holds up with this model. Their products give me confidence that I can rely on it for consistent results. My primary concern is the durability of the thinner probe, but with the protective cover, the relatively low price, and the included warranty, I feel reassured. Overall, I’m thrilled to have a dependable, precise thermometer that offers the signature ThermoWorks quality in a more accessible package. A point that I’ll add here at the end is that I’d feel much more comfortable toting this device along to a cookout, tailgate, or camping, as compared to bringing along the Thermopen ONE. I’d be less concerned about dropping it or losing it. So, I think having both in my kitchen is what I’ll be doing going forward. I've used and reviewed two other of ThermoWorks Thermometers; the Thermapen ONE and the Classic Thermapen. I consider the Thermapen ONE the Lexus of kitchen thermometers, the Classic the Toyota of kitchen thermometers, which leaves the ThermoPop 2 as the Vespa of Kitchen Thermometers as it is smaller, more agile, still gives. you good performance, nice curves and fun colors.

I really love this thing so far. I had a $15 TempPro folding one and it stopped folding and the probe fell out of the casing lol. Sooo I guess $15 is too little to spend on a thermometer. I really like how easy this one is to wash, like I don’t have to worry about it at all, and it’s a fairly instant read. It still struggles with bread and brownies and stuff, takes maybe 5-10 seconds to stabilize. Thermodynamically that’s understandable, I was just hoping for some magic I guess. Meat, maaaan it’s a whole different game. The TempPro would give me terrible reads, I think because the probe averaged over too much of its surface or something. So I always got a low reading and ended up overcooking. I gave up on using it. But this one is absolute pinpoint accuracy. You can get a really good feel of the thermal gradient in the meat. So basically all my chicken and steaks will come out perfectly forever. Using a thermometer is cheating to be fair but if there's one thing I've learned in life it's that cheating when there are no rules is usually a great idea. So yeah man I’d say it’s worth it especially if it ever goes on sale.

Preciso, buen producto

Nice. Easy to clean. Reliable!

Provides accurate temperature readings. Back light feature is useful. Numbers are easily readable and of sufficient size.

Purchased for the large, easy to read display. I really like the speed and accuracy of the thermometer. I don't need a leave in option so this one fits the bill great.

Fast and accurate. Best thermometer ever
