I need a thermometer at work to document food temps on the steam table a couple of times during service.
My Thermapen has worked great so far for about 4-5 years but it is out of service now. The battery is bad and one of the battery terminals broke. I'm going to call to see if I can get a battery terminal at a reasonable cost. If I can't, I think I found a replacement.
I recently borrowed a DeltaTrak Flash Check 11061. It is a size I prefer which allows me to put it in a shirt or cook's sleave pocket. Also the digital read out size is big similar to a Thermapen. The temp read is about 5-6 seconds. The probe protector has a magnetic strip which allows storage on a refigerator or similar metal object. Price is about $25 online.
I know ThermaWorks has a Super Fast Pocket version but DeltaTrak's large digital readout is an attractive feature.
A couple of weeks back I used a HVAC Fieldpiece SPK1 which also responded in about 5-6 seconds in a nice foldable pocket size but it has a smaller digital read out compared to the Delta Trak. The Fieldpiece is very durable ... strong enough to punch through duct work.
