Thermapen ONE

Why It Won Our Review

Out of the 18 instant-read thermometers we tested, the Thermapen ONE was our number one pick thanks to its ultra-fast, ultra-accurate design. Its auto-backlit display and large, high-contrast numbers made it easy to read results, even in a dark oven. And thanks to the thermometer’s auto-rotating display, you don’t need to strain your neck to read it, even at awkward angles. While most thermometers only tilt 180° (if at all), this one tilts a full 360°, meaning you can hold it in any direction and still make out the numbers on the screen. 

As its name suggests, the Thermapen ONE takes only 1 second to deliver accurate results. It was  the fastest thermometer we tested, and delivers readings with accuracy to ±0.5°F. We also found it easy to use—the thermometer turned on as soon as we pulled out the probe, so there’s no need to hunt for a tiny on and off switch. While it doesn’t come without a price, the Thermapen ONE is waterproof enough to be submerged in water for 30 minutes and comes with a 5-year warranty, meaning it’ll last you a lifetime. Snag yours in time for St. Patrick’s Day now that it’s 25% off in green.
