Need Opinion on Temp Meter

Does anyone use this one or knows someone who does?


Taylor Professional 9306N Splash-Proof Dual Temp Infrared/Thermocouple Thermometer

Eggcelsior

I'd say 9/10 use a Thermapen around these parts.

i have two thermapens and rate them as the #1 cooking accy i have. The Egg's are a close second.

We use the thermapens in the kitchen as much as with the Eggs. Just behind the Egg's is the adj rig

This one has a heat sensor too. The one I bought a month ago stopped working.

I wouldn't waste your money on a Taylor product. Thermoworks makes great (and accurate) thermos, even if you don't get the Thermapen specifically. You can buy an IR thermo for pizza, baking etc for pretty cheap from HF or on Amazon.

Thermoworks also has combo IR gun/thermocouple combos. I would go Thermoworks over Talor. www.Thermoworks.com

So you say worth it? What about the Maverick PT100? I don't want to spend a $100 if I don't have to.

I'm thinking of getting this one. Gives a reading in 5-6 seconds. http://www.thermoworks.com/products/low_cost/thermopop.html#Specifications

@Ladeback69 - I don't know if it's worth it, I'm sure it's fine.  I just read the specs, don't have one.

I bought the Thermopop for $24.00 and and $4 in shipping on Amazon.  I will let you know how it works.  I need a new raised grid if i can't get mine replaced or fixed.  Its only lasted a few months.  I may just buy some bricks to support it.
