Thermapen

[Rotty]

already have thermapen

chefalarm ordered, thanks

Thanks for the heads up, just bought 2 chef alarms, 1 for me and the other will be a gift to my brother in law.

 

[FrenchTart]

Tried out my chef alarm the other day and it seems pretty awesome. Definitely a big improvement over the very cheap leave-in thermometers I've used previously. Cheers for the suggestion

Mine arrived really quickly and struggled to spot any damage on the box - great spot, thanks.

I had a leave in one from Lakeland that died twice so ended up returning it for a refund the second time, this looks much more solidly built and the carry case is a nice touch. Thinking I'll test it with a reverse sear sirloin roast or some pork shoulder on the weekend.

 

[FrenchTart]

I've not cooked pork shoulder in ages. I might have to pick one up for the weekend too.

How long is the cable between the controller and the probe on these?
(Seriously tempted to get one).

Bargain for £18
I'm tempted but I have a maverick BBQ one that is too similar to justify

I kind of prefer it to the Maverick as it feels more solid and the screen is a little clearer. That said, it's not wireless and it doesn't have two probes so there are definite downsides.

It does look a lot easier to use.... *hovers over buy it now*

edit- I went for a yellow one

112cm to the rigid metal probe and the probe is about 18cm long.

Nice

I got mine too, looks awesome got a pork shoulder in the freezer I can use to test it out on. Might be all all day/8 hour cook sunday roast thing.

Thanks

Edit: Slime green ordered
Should be very useful with my new Bradley smoker.

Glad you were all happy with them!

I figured ETI seemed like a decent company, so if the probe ever went dodgy they'd probably give me a replacement.

I keep my thermapen in the pouch with the chefalarm, fits quite nicely.

There's a bunch of different probes you can get for them on the US website, but I've only been able to source the needle/sousvide one in the UK.

Bit of a bump for this, where is the best place to get a Thermapen from at the moment?

 

[FrenchTart]

Normally it's a case of finding refurbs on ebay to be honest.

 

[Shimmyhill]

Amazon often have refurbs or offers also.

 

[monkeyspank]

£36 on amazon at the mo, not bad!

 

[robj20]

The pen is showing as £24 on amazon now.

£18 for the chefalarm

 

[SoliD]

Thanks, just grabbed one at £24.
