Dishwasher-Safe Folding Thermometer Designed for Demanding Chefs
From professional chefs in the finest restaurants, to experienced butchers, to the novice cook, Extech’s TM55 Fold-Up Food Thermometer offers an excellent combination of safety and convenience not found in cooking thermometers costing more than twice as much.
Instant-On, Instant Temperatures:
The small size is easy to store in a pocket or a drawer, making it readily accessible when you need it.A built-in magnet keeps it handy on a refrigerator door or metallic shelf or cabinet. Flip it open and it automatically turns on -- no “ON” button to press.
Unlike dial thermometers or slow digital thermometers, the Extech fast-responding design delivers a reliable, easy-to-read temperature in less than 5 seconds, rapidly updating you twice a second. Spend less time with an open oven door losing precious heat; with a lid removed from a pot; or with foil removed from your food.
When opened, the thermometer works at any angle. For example, the probe can fold out fully to 180° for use as a pen-style thermometer or at 90° for right-angle leverage.
The 482°F (250°C) temperature range and high accuracy (±1°F/0.5°C) makes it suitable for nearly any gourmet adventure.
Waterproof vs Splash-proof: Is it Really Dishwasher Safe?
Designed with food-safety in mind, the durable Extech folding thermometer pen with stainless steel probe is certified by the NSF for food use. The ultrasonically-welded housing is protected with an anti-microbial coating and its IP65waterpoof-rating means that, at the end of a fabulous meal, it can go in the dishwasher along with your dishesand pots (top-rack only).
It’s not just splash-proof like many popular thermometers, it’s rated for the water jets of a dishwasher. That’s one fewer item to hand-wash.
