ChefAlarm is a leave-in probe thermometer and timer that tracks your cook from start to finish. Set high and low temperature alarms, monitor min/max readings, and time your recipe — with all data visible on a single backlit display. Whether you’re roasting a turkey, proofing dough, or holding a braise at temperature, ChefAlarm shows you exactly where things stand.

Insert the Pro-Series® probe and take control of your cook with ChefAlarm’s full monitoring dashboard. Set your target temperature and high/low limits, track minimum and maximum temps, and run a countdown or count-up timer — all from one clear display. A 47-inch cable keeps the unit safely outside the oven, and the adjustable alarm (up to 92 dB) cuts through kitchen noise. Whether roasting, frying, baking, or cooking overnight, ChefAlarm keeps time and temperature working together.

Best fish fry thermometer

"This thermometer made my last fish really easy on my Camp Chef burner. The magnet allowed the display to be mounted away from the fry pan and the ThermoWorks silicone probe holder kept the probe perfectly in place. The high and low temp alarms were great for monitoring cooking if the fish. Looking forward to many more cooks ahead."

JERRY C. (4/5)

Absolutely necessary for smoking brisket!

"I first discovered this from America’s Test Kitchen made Texas brisket using the Snake Method. I own at least 2-3 myself and have given away quite a few as gifts! It’s not unusual for me to give a Weber Kettle and this thermometer. I just ordered 2 more when I realized that the red and blue ones were cheaper than some of the other colors!"

Mercedes R. (5/5)

Great all-purpose thermometer

"We have used this thermometer to monitor the temperature of my quirky oven. I bake sourdough and other baked goods, so temperature consistency is important. We have also used it on meats. This was exactly what we were looking for."

Mike W. (5/5)

Outstanding devise

"I bought the chef Alarm with both the meat and oven probe. What a professional and accurate devise. Just like my Thermopen. Makes smoking and holding meats as easy as it can get. Thank you ThermoWorks."

Joseph J. (5/5)

Best

"I already had one. This was a gift… best purchase I’ve ever made."

No L. (5/5)

Simplicity and Quality

"Like every other Thermoworks product I own, it’s of very high quality and accuracy and simple to use. Bonus add on to Thermoworks products, is the calibration certification that comes with it."

Iván R. (5/5)

Best thing ever

"My oven is gas and it's the first time I've ever used gas t bake. The temperature is so labile I was becoming very frustrated. I needed some way to check the temp without opening the door. My ChefAlarm works like a charm."

Mary E. (5/5)

Cooking Alarm

"Have used once now and it worked perfectly. Looking forward to the next brisket."

Gary C. (5/5)

reverse sear help

"Got this alarm to give me a real picture of how oven temperature varies. Wow! what an eye opener. Then able to put my steak in, set the temp, and walk away and not open door till done. love it!"

Dennis S. (5/5)

Love it so much I gave it as a gift.

"This particular purchase was for a gift to my daughter and her husband because I love mine so much. She melted the casing of a thermometer trying to make candy and I know this will come in handy the next time she needs to monitor sugar temps. Her husband brought home a new grill and this will be a perfect addition to his cooking adventures. Mine is pulled out of the drawer for meats on a regular basis and I have just learned the taking the temperature of a baking loaf of bread is a thing, too! I highly recommend this product."
