The new Food Check thermometer features higher accuracy and an easy-to-grip handheld design. The meter and probe are calibrated together as a system to assure precision better than ±0.7°F. A NIST-Traceable Certificate of calibration with actual test data is included with each Food Check to confirm its performance. And with 10,000 hours of battery life you'll only need to change batteries every 5 years.
Simple operation eliminates operator errors - no extra buttons to confuse staff.
The attached thermocouple is a tapered-tip general-purpose penetration probe to deliver final readings as fast as 8 seconds in semi-solids, liquids or air. For increased durability and splash resistance, add on an optional silicone rubber protective boot that's easily removed for sanitizing.
The new ergonomic Food Check design along with Biomaster antibacterial additive reduces food traps and contamination. Compare the Food Check to your current handheld meter. You won't find a more accurate, user-friendly system (meter and probe combined) for under $100.

Biomaster Anti-microbial Additive
Biomaster is an anti-bacterial additive mixed with the plastic masterbatch before molding so it's built into every Thermapen. It helps prevent cross contamination of common bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella, and Listeria) by inhibiting the multiplication of microbes and reducing their populations.
In tests performed by an independent lab, after 24 hours Biomaster significantly reduced the population sizes of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as compared to control samples. This doesn't eliminate the need to sterilize and clean the Thermapen body, but significantly reduces risk. The probe should still be wiped after each use.
