Alton Brown’s GEAR For Your Kitchen by Alton Brown

Don’t take our word for it. The Thermapen^® has been independently reviewed on television, in books, magazines, forums and blogs. It has got to be the most written-about thermal instrument since Gabriel Fahrenheit first published a description of his mercury thermometer.

“The best instant-read I’ve used.” (page 166)

“The thermometer I use most is the Thermapen by ThermoWorks, and, no, I’m not paid to say that…edges out other (cheaper) digitals…faster than any other model… My Thermapen can take a clear internal reading on a wafer-thin piece of sole; cheaper models are very unsure of themselves if the food is less than 1 inch thick.” (page 167)
