SuperFast Themapen 231

The Thermapen - the world's favourite kitchen thermometer now has a new look, improved design and additional features. It is guaranteed to reach the temperature in just seconds and has 'Biomaster' casing to help reduce bacteral growth. It is over 50% faster than traditional probes and has a water resistant case.
The new look, improved design, SuperFast Thermapen thermometer incorporates a number of additional features including a 0.1°C resolution over the entire range but the instrument can be switched to 1°C resolution by the user, if required, via a switch in the battery compartment. This also applies if °F is required. The battery life is now increased to 1,500 hours and the auto-off facility is increased to 10 minutes, this feature can be disabled, allowing the user to continuously monitor temperature.

The casing is now washable and includes "Biomaster" additives that reduces bacteria growth and the ergonomic rubber seal reduces the risk of the ingress of water, dust or food. As well as being water resistant, it is still 'probably' the fastest reading contact thermometer on the market today.

The SuperFast Thermapen thermometer incorporates a reduced tip, stainless steel, food penetration probe that conveniently folds back through 180 degrees into the side of the instrument when not in use. The response time of any thermometer is dependant on many factors, the mass of the sensing tip, heat transfer and, most importantly, the state of the substance being measured. With both air and liquid, agitation is crucial to rapid response. The ETI calibration laboratory has tested the Thermapen in a stirred water bath with amazing results - the SuperFast thermometer reached 100% of the test temperature in under four seconds.

The new SuperFast Thermapen incorporates a larger digital display with a precise read-out of temperature over the range of -49.9 to 299.9°C with a 0.1°C resolution and an accuracy of ±0.4°C over the range of -49.9 to 199.9°C, thereafter ±1°C.

Both low battery (icon) and open circuit indication are also displayed, when applicable. Each Thermapen is powered by two lithium coin cell batteries with a minimum life expectancy of 1,500 hours.

The Superfast Thermapen was recently awarded - runner-up in the "Best new product" category in the prestigious SOFHT Awards 2009.
