    Still twice as expensive as the equally good Pop.

    I love my Thermapen, but I've always had troubles with it not turning on when I unfold the probe.  Sometimes, I have to refold and unfold about 10 times before the pen turns on.  Has anyone else had the same issue?

    Regardless, this issue didn't stop me from taking advantage of this offer.  I bought the new one for home, and I'll take the old one up to our marina for use with the Mini Max portable kitchen.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    My original does this sometimes. I just assumed my battery was going dead, but since it turns on still i havent worried about replacing it.

    No issues with mine.  Did you drop it in water or something?

    My MK4 was in the bottom of the sink when I filled it up to do dishes. 10 min later i found it and water literally ran out of it. A month later it works perfectly.

    Great deal with the silicone sleeve.  Looks like some of the competition is having an effect on prices.
