ThermoPro TP-20 and TP-18 Food Thermometers Reviewed

 

ThermoPro TP-20

Three years ago I received my Char-Griller offset smoker as a Father's Day gift. I was so excited and could not wait to use it. My Char-Griller is a combination smoker and charcoal grill.

As I was in a hurry to get started, I quickly realized that I needed some additional tools to help control the temperatures of the grill and the food. Even though the grill has a thermometer on the lid of the grill the temperatures can vary by 40 to 50 degrees throughout the grill.

After much research, I found the ThermoPro TP-20 remote food thermometer with dual probes. Now, I can remotely monitor the internal temperature of the food that I'm cooking along with the inside temperature of the grill.

ThermoPro TP-20 Features:

LCD Display (Liquid Crystal Display) - Displays all icons temperatures and time
Dual probe temperature display
Programmable alert with preset temperatures for different foods
Tolerance for internal food temperature is + or - 1.8 degrees
Displays in Fahrenheit or Celsius
Count down or count up timer
Remote Transmitter

The dual probes allow me to monitor the internal temperature of two types of meat or two sections of a large piece of meat.

With the 40 to 50-degree variance that I mentioned earlier, you want to be sure that you are cooking the meat at the proper temperature.
 
I always use the second probe to monitor the grill temperature of the cooking surface of my grill. The unit comes with a handy clip so you can clip the probe onto the grill grates. With the remote transmitter, I can monitor the grill and the food from anywhere. 

ThermoPro Instant ReadTP-18:

I have the old-style meat thermometers but you have to insert them into the meat and wait for the temperature to read. When your cooking over a hot surface this presents a problem.

The TP-18 is an ultra-fast digital instant-read thermometer you will get reading in about two seconds. This comes in handy for checking different portions of the meat while cooking. 

I also use both the TP-20 and TP-18 while cooking inside. The wires on the TP-20 are long enough to have the probe inserted into your favorite roast in the oven and have the monitor on the countertop.

I am very satisfied with the performance of both of my ThermoPro thermometers for the past three years and would recommend them to anybody.

  2. The dual probes that allow you to check the temperature of both the meat and the grill's cooking surface sound like a very useful feature, and the ability to monitor those temperatures remotely must be really convenient. Thanks for your recommendation of the ThermoPro TP-20 and TP-18 thermometers!

  3. Wow! A digital read in 2 seconds is amazing! I have a meat thermometer but it doesn't work that quickly. As your said, standing over the heat while waiting for the thermometer to read the temperature, is not fun and perhaps not even safe. I find the monitor suggestion quite intriguing too. It would be awesome to not have to open the oven to check the status when cooking meat. Thank you for these wonderful recommendations.

  4. Okay I guess there is a new tool out there for the die hard griller! My son just might like this as he loves to put food on the grill to cook at anytime of the year. Even winter months have him enjoying his BBQ, so I am thinking it would be a great addition to his cooking tools. Thanks Sam Monaco!

  5. Thank you for your review and recommendation of the Thermopro monitor. We don't have any device like this and I think it would be very useful and safer than the old style ones. A quick and safe method to read the temperature sounds great for any cook.Wonderful idea for a gift!!
