Cheers!

 

I use this. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/sto...with-timer/120845?Keyword=digital+thermometer I like the probe so i don't have to stand over the pot looking at the temp and its available locally here so i don't have to wait for shipping if i need a new one.

 

I've had good luck with Thermoworks. The Thermapen is pretty much the standard, but expensive. Another model that is equally accurate is http://www.amazon.com/Thermoworks-W...r_1_7?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1417324967&sr=1-7. Very inexpensive and I have one for backup. Only downside is that it is slow.

I don't think you're going to find anything that is Good, Fast, and Cheap.

 

I agree with PortLargo as far as how fast your wallet can take you. I like my Thermapen, and on the strength of 2 years experience with it, would recommend the company for their other, less pricey models. Look to be closer to $40 than $20, and I expect you will get a good unit from them or one of the other brands that are out there for that price point.

 

No such thing. I've gone through a dozen digital thermometers over the years. Longevity has always been an issue. And they always seem to crap out when I need them (actually, that's as silly as saying the furnace only breaks during the heating season - duh!). I bit the bullet a few years ago and bought a Thermapen. I haven't looked back.

That said, I can't argue with bgjohnston - Thermoworks has an excellent reputation, built largely on their thermometers. While not definitive, I'm inclined to believe that they would tend to not sell crap.

 

I have the Thermoworks Super Fast Water-Resistant Digital Pocket Thermometer and I am happy with it. It does have a slower (5 seconds) response time but doesn’t personally bother me; I can wait 5 seconds.

Cheers!

 

most anyone around here who has a thermometer from Thermoworks is going to tell you to not bother with anything else.

just get something from Thermoworks already. the Thermapen is king but pricey. i have the RT600C and it works perfectly. having a narrow accuracy range is important for all grain brewing. you can't get as accurate as the RT600 for $16.00.

as the saying goes, pick any two.

 

Look to Thermowork, like everyone else said.

I have a Thermapen and haven't looked back. Handles everything from brewing, to cooking to smoking that I use it for, and it's accurate, and fast as can be.

They have some cheaper models, that won't do it all, but they will all probably give you some accurate temps.
