You'll love it mate, I also use it on most cooked meats, there's a huge difference between cooked chicken (75C), and overlooked chicken, I didn't know I'd been overlooking for years. Just be careful not to let it hit bone, messes up the read as the bones get pretty hot, insert into the chunkiest part of the meat, like a chicken thigh.nosco wrote:Finally ordered a thermapen. My last brew was lacking in acurate/quick temp readings. plus it was cheap

It's worth the time! If you've got a Facebook account, jump onto the Webber addicts page (called something like that), some great ideas on there!nosco wrote:Ive got an old webber out side that i hvnt used much. I might have to fire it up again
I bought 2 different thermometers from thermoworks( thermopen maker). I tested them just at ambient temps and they were almost 2°C different. They may be fast but we can't assume that they are accurate.nosco wrote:The Therma Pen (eBay friendly spelling) worked a treat on my stout brew tonight. Im not sure if to do with the quick response time but it read 3C higher than my other 2 thermometers on the strike water temp. It also confirmed for me that I have a problem with holding mash temps and although it doesnt really matter I was also able for the first time measure the temp of the grain before mash in
Ill assume for now that it reads accurate temps but that aside the quick read times makes brewing a hell of alot easier.
