I purchased the Inkbird 6 months ago, and I'm happy I did. That 85 bucks in my pocket has done me well. Great job on the testing apparatus. Thanks for this!

Love the set up and test Tom! I know the Thermopen One is faster but cost 5 times as much as the Inkbird. I’ll keep my Inkbird. Great test Tom!

Thanks Tom. I have had the Inkbird for 1.5 years and use it a lot. Only charged it once so far. I get a temp in about 3 seconds at most, which is fast enough for me.

Thermapen. All thermoworks products are awesome. They have their own calibration lab. I have an OG Thermapen and a Signals wireless unit. I wasted so much money on inferior products over the years. Should have bought the best to begin with.

Thank you good sir! Already had an inkbird and was debating buying a thermapen today cause I had two beef ribs racks on the offset and was in the mood to 'upgrade' my pen. This video just saved me 90$ us!

Love you Tom. Just wanted to let you know that the Thermapen One book says it will be WITHIN 1 degree WITHIN 1 second. So your pen is doing what it says for the most part it will be close to 32 so 33/34 within 1 second when you have done these test before. Keep up the great work as always my man!
@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for Watching! One degree within on second….. isn’t that 2 seconds? It’s still faster than anything out there, I just wish Thermoworks wouldn’t dance around the truth. If it’s 2 seconds then it should be called the Thermapen Two!

@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ yeah I agree lol. Look at the boiling test it says it will be within 1 degree of your boiling temp and then will hit the temp. Very weird but I do love it and it is much fast than my past ones. I love the inkbird you have also its still great for 20 bucks and you can find those on sale for around 12 on Amazon sometimes.

Ice bath also says within 1 degree within 1 second and then will hit next 2-3 seconds lol

I like the expensive one, size, features, will last forever. $105/5 years=$20 a year. I can handle that. Both are good tho. I have a old OXO that’s fast, I’ll have to time it, my guess is 3-4 seconds. Great new video quality Tom 😀

Interesting setup Tom. It was enjoyable to watch ... my 2 cents... the tiny differences do not matter and are certainly not worth the extra cost. Thanks for the interesting test procedure anyway.

The price of the thermapen is a major deterrent. Because let’s face it, when cooking, we rarely need an exact temperature within a second. Instead we tend to look for approximate temperatures.For example if you’re cooking chicken to 165 F then it really doesn’t make a difference if you got a reading of 165 in one second or 5 seconds. It’s not like an extra 4 seconds will be so long that it’s now overcooked. And if your goal is 165, then you’re most likely ready to pull off at 160-170-you don’t need to be that exact.

I have the Inkbird IRF-4S Wireless Meat Thermometer for the long smokes and it has served me well over the years. I also have the walmart brand Pen and that has served me fine for years. I'd rather take the savings and spend it on meat! lol!

inkbird is rechargable. inkbird cost way less. inkbird is able to be recalibrated at home. i could care less about waiting 3 more seconds or the fact that thermopro has a "calibration lab" which all companies that make therms do. the only tangible advantage the thermapen has is a slightly larger probe. that is definitely not worth the additional cost. I get the argument that 100 bucks over 5 years is 20 a year...but 20 dollars over 5 years is 4 dollars a year. both are likely to last the same amount of time. if not, it doesnt really matter bc i would have to go through 5 inkbirds in my lifetime to hit the same cost.

I agree with Tom, it's not 1 second and for the home user the cost of the Thermapen isn't justified. I routinely use my $12, made in China temperature probe and I'm happy with it. I usually overshoot the minimum temperature by a few degrees anyway, so I'm not worried about getting sick from what I cook. What commercial users are paying the extra cost for is the NSF certification and accuracy. It boils down to restaurant compliance with health regulations, inspections and liability. That +1 degree reading on the Inkbird during a health inspection might result in a violation.
