The dual temperature probes allows me to monitor the temperature of different items in my oven. It gives me lots of confidence that my BBQ with both steak and chicken will be a great success!

Honestly, I thought it would be better. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, so that’s what you’d expect. However, in my experience with it so far, it’s been somewhat unreliable in its readings. I’ve been using it for poultry, as I haven’t got a barbecue to be grilling steaks just yet. I insert it in the thickest part of the chicken if it’s boneless, and if it’s not, I’ll try to insert it in the thickest part as far away from the bone as possible. With regards to my readings, it’s been saying the chicken is not yet cooked when in fact, it’s overcooked. It’s also been reading the chicken at 165F while it’s still raw on the inside. I’ll test it some more, preferably with boneless chicken to be as accurate as possible, and I’ll try to remember to update this in the future.

I didn’t know there were thermometers like this when I started searching on Amazon. My old thermometer had broken, and I went to the local grocery store to replace it. But all they had were instant thermometers. Pathetic, in my opinion! So you wrap up meat, stick it in the oven, then what–have to pull it out a bunch of times to…what–stick through your wrappings, puncturing the perfect cover? Try to carefully unwrap them, then wrap the super-hot thing back again (unlike the perfect job you did while it was cold), which also causes a great deal of heat to escape, setting the cooking back? NO! I had to find something to replace my decades-old technology, so I could just glance in the oven and see if it’s there yet.
As I searched, while prices were reasonable, it seemed a high percentage of people were disgusted with the best-rated thermometers–at least those most similar to my (many decades-old) technology thermometer. Inaccuracy, number markings quickly wearing off, working well for a short time, then failing, etc.
Then I came across the ThermoPro TP-17. It wasn’t what I was looking for, and I didn’t know what to expect. Would wires really fit through the closed oven door with no problem to the seal as it closed? (I discovered this was absolutely no problem—simple and intuitive—you can’t tell the door is affected in the least by the super-thin wire. But NOT for use in microwaves!!!) But people seemed happier with this thermometer than the reviews of others. So I check out the negative reviews (as I also did with the old-style thermometers, like from 50+ years ago), and I find that generally speaking, the concerns are minimal. For example, the reasons for failure are often (if not typically, even when undisclosed) user-caused, such as getting the wire wet. You want to be careful, but even then it’s possible to get it wet I suppose…then what? ThermoPro stands behind it! I just registered online. You don’t have to give personal info*–primarily give them the Amazon’s purchase #, so they know you really did legitimately buy it. Cut & paste (I don’t even remember giving my name*, certainly not my address or phone #, but you DO have to give your EMAIL*), and it’s done. Now I have a 3-year warranty and support, including their phone # to get their support! They’ll even send a replacement wire for free (if I remember correctly), even though it’s your own fault.
So I got it, and just out of curiosity, held the probe in my hand to see if it would give something close to my body temperature. It climbed very slowly to about 80°. I didn’t know what to think–that didn’t seem right. Then I accidentally grabbed the tip of the probe, and the temperature shot quickly up to about 96° (I don’t remember exactly). So I put it on my neck and closed my chin on it–98° almost immediately (it doesn’t measure tenths of degrees, of course–totally unnecessary for cooking). Amazing! Unlike the old technology thermometers, no calibration is ever necessary. (For that matter, when you calibrate the old ones, you are lucky to get reasonably close to the right temperature, but you can work with it.) ThermoPro is spot-on, all the time, never needing calibration.
The probe tends to be resistant to temperature affect, because if that weren’t the case, it would register the temperature of the oven instead of the meat at the tip of the probe, because much of the probe nearly always sticks out (unless you have a HUGE piece of meat).
But it gets FAR more amazing. Very easily (at least for me–I didn’t have to read anything to figure this out within seconds just goofing around with it), you can set the thermometer to go off by either timer or temperature. Of course there are plenty of sources you already have for timers–your oven, your microwave, your cell phone, etc., but by TEMPERATURE? I stuck it in the meat, popped it in the oven, then could EASILY watch the temperature of the meat rise–big super-easy-to-read, lighted, numbers. Walk out of the room, start doing whatever you want–get lost on your PC totally forgetting about time, cooking, etc., and BEEP BEEP…the meat just hit the precise temp you wanted! You can adjust your target temperature up, down, or whatever while it’s in the oven, and even after it goes off! For instance, set it a few degrees below your actual target, so that you can leisurely walk into the room and watch it pop that perfect number…then move that target up, if you wish.
After that, most meat recipes call for the meat to rest out of the oven. Well, in the cool room (i.e. room temperature in the 70’s, rather than the oven 200-400°), the center-meat temperature continues to rise (for a good while with a moderately large, covered piece). Just leave the thermometer in it, unmoved, and you can let it get to whatever you desire as perfect. Getting too hot? Cut it open quick–let the center cool.
I understand the technology–no more complicated than many watches today, in terms of technology. I just didn’t know anyone was doing it. But on the other hand, I really don’t know how the probes and especially wires carry the temperature of the probe tips without fouling up the readings due to the probe and wires being openly exposed to the very hot oven area. (It can take extremely hot temperatures–I don’t remember what, because it doesn’t apply to me–like 500+°.) I HIGHLY recommend this thermometer. It can really perfect your cooking experience with almost no learning curve (at least to my way of thinking). However, remember to keep the wires dry! (No problem for me. But don’t be careless about it.)
*UPDATE: When registering, while they ask very little, they DO ask for your email. Since registering about 5 days ago, I’ve received an average of an email EVERY DAY. I just changed my Microsoft Outlook to always take anything from them and put it in a ThermoPro folder, so I’ll never be bothered again unless I need something (such as support) from them, in which I can just check that folder. Perhaps it’s nice, informative stuff, but I don’t want it. It does lower my opinion of them—they should have at least offered an “opt out” during registration. I never click emails’ “unsubscribe” feature—you never know what that could trigger. I just put them in their own “sandbox”, never to bother me again.

Bought this for our Thanksgiving cooking and it works great! Have used it on a few meats and it did everything we needed it to do. Tested accuracy by dropping the probes in boiling water. 212, both.

Works great

My charcoal grill did not come with a temperature gauge but there were times when I wanted to know both the temperature under the dome and the meat. With two probes, this works perfectly for that application. It comes with a little stand so you can rest one of the probes on the grate while the other is in the meat. The display is very easy to read. I can’t say for sure that the temperature is accurate, of course – unless I had another thermometer to compare it to – but the two probes are very consistent, and the ambient temperature was accurate – so I feel confident in the temperature accuracy. Great for the backyard chef that wants that perfect steak!

This thermometer is awesome. I insert the probe, set the temperature using the presets for different meats, or manually set it for whatever I’m cooking, then walk away. The probe has a long oven proof cord. the controls magnetically attach to the outside of the oven. When the food reaches the proper temperature, it beeps. No more running back and forth to check if something is done! I own the single probe version, but this was bought as a gift for my son who has a double oven. He loves it!

Seems very accurate when compared to built in temp probe in smoker.

I bought this right after I was given a free smoker. This worked flawlessly after my first smoke. As the time has passed I have noticed the cables starting to fray a bit but I guess they can be replaced. I wish ther was a way to keep the backlight on and the alarm is kinda annoying. I’m happy with what I got and will keep using until I find a better option.

I’ll be honest. I’m not the greatest cook. I’m decent with deserts but I have no talent or patience for cooking. I’m never sure if the meat is undercooked or overcooked so I do a lot of guesswork. After overcooking chicken for what seemed like the millionth time, and seeing the look of disappointment on my hubby’s and our 4 boys’ faces, I finally caved and ordered this meat thermometer which I had been eying for a while.
Our first test subject was a Beef Wellington. We used both rods while cooking it and we really enjoyed not having to constantly open the oven door to check the temperature. The meat ended up beautifully cooked. I have also used it with chicken and as a first, it was perfectly cooked. It has literally taken my cooking anxiety away. What I like the most about it, is the fact that the required cooking temperatures for each type of meat is pre-programmed into this device, so I don’t have to scour the internet for that information. Last but not least, it is very simple to use, and super easy to clean. GREAT purchase. Would definitely recommend.
