Features:

Super-Fast and Accurate: 2-3 second readings with ±0.7°F accuracy
With full readings in just 2-3 seconds, Thermapen Mk4 is the world’s best in speed and accuracy.

Waterproof to IP67: Water-tight seals
Thermapen Mk4 is built to survive in the busiest and messiest of kitchens.

Intelligent Backlight: For late night use
The Thermapen Mk4 display automatically illuminates in low light conditions and when you cover the sensor window.

Patented Auto-Rotating Display: Intuitively turns right-side up
No matter which way you flip your Thermapen Mk4, it will always display the temperature right-side up.

Motion-Sensing Sleep & Wake Mode: Intuitively turns on and off
It’s ready to use as soon as you pick it up, and turns off when you set it down, preserving battery life.

 

  • High accuracy to ±0.7°F (±0.4°C)
  • Includes NIST-Traceable calibration certificate with test data
  • Foldaway thermocouple probe protects probe when not in use
  • Use in either hand, display rotates for best viewing angle
  • Includes Biomaster silver ion technology to reduce microbial growth
  • 3,000 hour battery life (AAA Battery)
  • Display temps in °C or °F

With full readings in only 2 to 3 seconds, the Super-Fast® Thermapen is the world’s best in speed and accuracy. Advanced technology makes Thermapen Mk4 even more intuitive than previous models. Hold it in any direction and the display automatically rotates right-side-up so you can read it in any position—in either hand, straight up or down; read temperatures without cocking your head.

A great tool for achieving that perfect meat temperature for a medium rare steak on your grill.

The Mk4 knows when it’s dark and turns on the backlight for you, making it easy to read at dusk or in complete darkness with maximum battery life. Or, just touch the sensor window anytime with your finger and the display lights up. Leave the probe open and the Mk4 stays on while you use it. Set it down, and Sleep Mode saves battery power. Pick the Mk4 up, and it turns on again instantly. Close the probe when you’re done cooking and the unit stays off for storage. High-tech, intuitive, fast and accurate.

Available in Multiple Colors

ColorsOriginally, we manufactured the Thermapen in gray only. Later we added all the food-safety color-coding versions. Many people in the food industry use color coding to prevent cross contamination by dedicating tools to specific food products. That way, a knife, cutting board or thermometer that is used for say, raw poultry, won’t end up contaminating fresh vegetables like salad greens.

That was the reason we did multiple colors for the Thermapen. Of course most people buy a color variety simply according to personal preference. Even in commercial applications it seems most people buy colors so they can quickly tell who belongs to which Thermapen (blue is Fred’s, yellow is Cathy’s, etc…)

In 2006 we added black and orange which weren’t even on the color coding system. If you have a color preference that we don’t make yet, email us and we’ll keep track of your vote.

Standard Color Code:
Red = raw meat, raw beef and pork.
Blue = raw seafood
Yellow = raw poultry
Green = produce
White = dairy or bakery items

What is Biomaster?

Biomaster is a silver-based antimicrobial additive that is molded directly into the plastic housing that becomes an integral part of the product to prevent bacteria growth on its surface. The controlled release of the active ingredient provides maximum antimicrobial protection for the life of the product. When bacteria come into contact with a Biomaster protected surface, the silver ions prevent them from growing, producing energy or replicating, therefore they die, inhibiting degradation, discoloration or odors. Biomaster is an additional line of defense between cleanings.*

*Biomaster does not protect the user from disease causing organisms and is not a substitute for good hygiene and/or cleaning.

    You may think that the price on this is too high for a thermometer. I have spent far more on " better deals" over the years. I have tossed away at least a dozen thermometers over the years, and likely have double the cost of this in different models in a drawer. None of them compare to the Thermapen MK4! Fastest reading and easiest to use. I will likely buy another for a gift in the future!

    I love how quick the Mk4 measures temperature and how accurate it is. When I make coffee, the Mk4 confirmed that water boils at my elevation at 207 degrees F. Knowing that coffee is best roasted at 195-205F, I use the Mk4 to watch the hot water temp drop when I pour the boiling water into my room temp stainless steel French press. It dropped about 14 degrees, so I now heat up the press to keep the steeping temp closer to 200 instead of the low 190s. I have been measuring all sorts of stuff with this like the temperature of the hot tap water. Because of its speed, I can slowly insert it into a pot sticker to see that while the outside was close to 180 degrees, the inside was still 130 degrees and needed to go back in the boiling water. This is a major help to ensure that things get to the safe temperature to kill any pathogens. I have been taking it to friends houses to show it off to them and they get a kick out of it too. It is so much fun to use!

    I was watching Cook s Country and saw how the cooks used it. I figured why not give it a try. The pen is superb! Easy to use and clean. It helped me discovered my oven was off by almost 30 degrees after I checked the internal temperature on my flan. I ordered one for my son who loves cooking.

    I admit I hesitated to spend this much for a instant read thermometer. But having used other brands with some frustration, I finally went for it. Worth every penny, particularly for fish where temperature is so critical. But really, it works beautifully for everything I've tried, Can't recommend it highly enough--do yourself a favor and go straight to this one and skip the lesser brands!

    My wife thought I was crazy spending so much for a thermometer. Now, she uses it so much, I might need another one.



    Takes the guess work out of cooking. Medium, no problem, medium well, to perfection. It has helped to take my BBQing skills to the next level.
