I finally had it. too many of the cheapos failing on me. I have been searching the site and it appears the super fast thermapen is still the top pick on this board. I presume that is still the case unless something new has come out. Assuming the superfast thermapen is the best choice, where should i buy it and what will it cost? thx
Thermapen, where to buy?

And it will cost you about $90. I don't know about other dealers, but I bought mine from Thermoworks and they stood behind their product. I got a bad one out of the box. They replaced it with no problems. Not what you want to have happen, but at least they gave me a new one without any complaining necessary on my part. When you spend that kind of money, that's what you deserve.
Has anyone had a problem with the new, thinner Thermapen tip? Will it bend easily?
BTW, their website has a neat Boiling Point Calculator - you just input your barometric pressure and altitude.

I've got 2 and haven't had a problem with the tips bending. I actually discussed that issue with someone from Thermoworks before I ordered. He did not feel that would be a problem. Sometimes food inspectors use them in harder objects such as hard ice cream and he said it could be an issue there.

I've got the thinner tip, and haven't had any concerns at all with it. It's a terrific therm!

Thanks, gentlemen. I just ordered another one.
The lady I spoke with didn't even realize that they had made a model like mine that didn't turn off automatically and was made by Owen Instruments. I actually liked the on/off switch rather than have to swing the probe closed to turn off the unit. I don't know how much the 6-minute delay will affect the battery usage, but mine ran a long time before I had to replace the battery. I did forget to turn it off one time.
