Thermometers for Your New College Student: Setting Them Up for Success
If you’re sending a child off to college for the first time, you want to make sure they’re set up to succeed. One area that is often overlooked that will make their life just plain better is thermometry. Few college students think they need thermometers as they go off to school, but if you equip them with these tools, they’ll be grateful every day ’til finals.
Thermapen® ONE
If your student will be cooking at all in their new place, they need the rugged reliability of Thermapen ONE. Cooking your own food is usually healthier and often cheaper than other options, meaning their dollars will go further and they’ll feel better.
But beyond that, there is, of course, the safety concern. The last thing they need is to eat some undercooked chicken and get food poisoning the night before a big exam—especially when you’re not there to care for them! The trusted accuracy of Thermapen will help them cook safely, which will keep them learning and give you peace of mind.
Plus, being a better cook than all their peers will help them make new friends—another benefit of Thermapen ONE.
Thermapen ONE, like all our product, is built to last, even in the hands of newly-minted adults who aren’t always super careful.
Pick up a Thermapen ONE before they move out!
Magnetic Meat Temperature Guide
And speaking of food safety, does your High-school grad know anything about food temperatures? Hopefully so, but statistically not! Send along a meat temperature guide they can stick to the fridge. Used in combination with Thermapen ONE, it will lead to better and safer meals throughout the year.
ThermoDrop® Ambient Thermometer
ThermoDrop is the thermometer you wear around. Designed to attach to a zipper pull, a clap, or a carabiner, ThermoDrop will help your college grad keep track of the weather (or the classroom temp) with ease. They’ll be better able to dress appropriately for those over-cooled classrooms, or the hot, sun-shiny quad. Plus, when you call to find out how it’s going, they can say “windy and 32°F.” Knowledge is power, right? So empower your student with temperature information about their surroundings.
TimeStick™
Time management is the key to success in college, so set your achiever up with a timer to help them study. They can use it to stay focused on their writing or to time their morning runs. They are water-resistant to IP65, so they needn’t worry about accidental spills or getting caught in the rain. Oh, and of course they can use it to time their food—no leaving their pizza leftover in the oven until it burns!
SPOT™ – The Fridge & Everywhere Thermometer
SPOT is like ThermoDrop but for your student’s refrigerator. It tracks the current temperature and remembers the high- and low-temperature extremes. Your student can know if any of their roommates left the fridge open or unplugged it. Then they can not eat spoiled, unsafe food.
WAND™ Forehead Thermometer
Heaven forbid your student gets sick while away, but if they do, WAND No Touch Forehead Thermometer will help them know how bad it is. If they call for advice you can ask their temperature and they can tell you! And being able to tell your Prof that your fever was 104°F could help soften a missed deadline.
In the end, you’re sending your kids off, hoping they’ll become the adults you want them to be. So why not give them the same tools for success in the kitchen, the study hall, and their health, that you, as an adult, also have and use? Here’s to a new adventure! Here’s to happy cooking and a happy life!
