NOOOOO! I just bought mine last Friday...

Oh well still worth the 11$ extra dollars I paid for it. It saved me that much in tossed salmon last night.

Too bad they have the sale is only the slow grey, white and pink thermapens. Everybody knows the fastest ones are the Blue thermapens.

I have a limited edition with charcoal on it (too bad it's briquettes and not lump...LOL)

Clearly, mine is the fastest...

Since it is briquettes and not lump, it slows the thermapen down quite a bit. It is probably the slowest of the thermapens.

I've read all the "mine's faster than yours, but never thought to look at the price. Why are they so expensive?

You get what you pay for. It is a super accurate super fast thermometer that is water resistant, and very durable.

There are members on here that have had the same thermapen for 3+ years without changing the battery. Very few people have problems with their thermapen and if they do, Thermoworks has amazing and fast customer service/repair.


Are there cheaper products that can do the same basic job? Absolutely. Are they as fast and accurate as the thermapen and have the same service shoudl something break? Nope.

Thanks aawa. I'm gonna stick with my $8 analog for now. I clicked on the link ready to buy one, but I can't afford that kind of money to replace something that isn't broken. Maybe one of these days...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not splurging for gadgets that aren't a necessity. It is better for your wallet and you can still put out great food without owning a thermapen.

I had a hard time justifying the cost, but they really are worth it. I mean, as much as you can quantify accurate temps

You'd be disappointed if you knew how far off those el cheapo ones are sometimes . . .

Once you've had Black, you won't go back.

I couldn't afford it either. But got it anyway.
Similarly different situation with wife, dog and F-250 diesel. Lifes about living, not about dying.

thermoworks rt600c almost as fast, same customer service, just as accurate, 1/5 the price.

I use the RT301WA from Thermapen. Not quite as fast but I'm not in no hurry. Also only 19.00
