Skagg2000 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Saw this. Seems a good price for the newer classic where you can switch between F and C https://thermapen.co.uk/thermapen-thermometers/48-thermapen-classic-sherbert-orange.html Great for reliably checking your food safety temps Cheers n Gone Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabs Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Good shout, I've been making do with a cheap Amazon reader for years and keep promising to get a faster more accurate reader. Just ordered one. Bonus points for the colour at least I won't lose it in the dark 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 So my classic turned up today, which was great. I bought it to have a pen that read degF as my original read in degC. I was told / read somewhere that the older Thermapen 3 was fixed in terms of reading, hence buying a newer one to get degF. So the unit arrives & no obvious instructions to change the reading, although it says it's selectable from factory settings. A quick online chat with ETI & it turns out that the dip switch 1 which is marked as not used is the one to set F or C. Apparently they don't highlight it to keep their US distributors happy somehow. So having change the new pen to F my thought turned to my existing one, sure enough, that also can be changed to F from the default C. I'm not sure if this is common knowledge but thought id share it with you guys in case it's of use. So now SWMBO has a pen in the kitchen set to C & I have one for the american recipes set to F Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Kevin Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 As a Chef, I've used a lot of brands over the years but I would highly recommend the accuracy and quality of Thermapens. Not to mention they come with a very useful guide. https://thermapen.co.uk/thermapen-thermometers/138-thermapen-classic-marine-blue.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
