Thermoworks has a sale on thermopops with a discount for buying five. I have 5 adult nieces and nephews. 4 have grills and smokers but the fifth doesn't have a permanent job and home just yet. She does cook. Would it be worth it for her?

She may not appreciate it yet, but I learned pretty late in life that a thermometer is one of the most important cooking tools.

Jump before the window of opportunity closes. I grabbed two this AM.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

The order is placed. I wish there had been an option for "five different colors, random pick"

Is the main difference b/t the thermopop and the thermopen the folding feature?Cumming, GA

Thermoworks website says 2-3 seconds on the thermopen, 5 seconds on the thermopop. That works for me for the price difference. I had my wife order me one for Christmas.

Have heard good things about the ThermoPops, a good cooking thermometer is always an excellent gift.
The RT600C, not so much. Two years ago I went the same route you are contemplating, picked up 5 RT600C at a good price for Xmas gifts. All 5 are now toast, including my own which was used about 10 times.
My Thermapen is working fine, other than it is sometimes hard to wake up, good luck with the ThermoPops.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -
Thanks all, now if I can just convert them into the Cult.

I have the latest Thermapen for my personal use but my wallet won't stretch so far as buying 5 for gifts.

When I first received my Thermopop as a gift, I couldn't have cared less. I had no interest, as I didn't know how valuable it was to be able to get a quick read on internal temp. Now, it is without a doubt my most valued accessory. I remain forever grateful that the gifter had the profound wisdom to bestow this seemingly-magical item upon me. Be that gifter.

I hope they all like green ones. Green is best isn't it?

I have a thermapen.... But I'm about to take a thermopoop.

I have two Thermapens. I keep 3 or 4 Thermopops from when they are on sale. When relatives come over for dinner or the weekend, they'll see me use the thermapen and then later are amazed the meat turned out perfect. So they start asking questions and I eventually just hand them a thermopop and say, " Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas." I also take one when I help cook at someone else's house. If is disappears, it's not a huge loss like a thermapen would be.Aledo, Texas

My brother in law made tri tip for us when we visited him, I watched him struggle to read the meat temperature with a non back lit probe. I ordered him a thermapop before we were home for his Christmas present. I have a pop and have used it for a good 2-3 years with no issues.

I've been trying to decide between this and a thermapen, I may go ahead and pick one of these up!LBGE
