“You have an instrument here that you open up..it turns on.  There are no buttons.  That’s critically important to chefs and others in food safety because buttons are food traps.  And you just open it up, it turns on, and it immediately starts measuring the temperature.  You can see the temperature of the room I’m in right now.”

The engineering that went into the Thermapen One is very smart.  It is waterproof…features an intelligent backlight…and even has motion sensing.  There’s more info at www.thermoworks.com.
