Pro-Series® High Temp Needle Probe, 2.5" Open Box Special

The ThermoWorks Pro-Series® High Temp 2.5-inch Needle Probe is a game-changer for anyone serious about temperature precision in their cooking. This probe stands out for its exceptional build quality and remarkable accuracy, making it an indispensable tool in my kitchen arsenal.
One of the most impressive features of this probe is its durability. The stainless-steel braided cable can withstand temperatures up to 700°F, which is perfect for high-heat cooking methods like grilling or oven roasting. The sealed silicone connection between the probe and cable is a thoughtful design element, preventing moisture infiltration - a common issue that leads to probe failure in lesser quality thermometers.
The 2.5-inch straight design of the probe is versatile, allowing for easy insertion into a variety of foods. Whether I'm cooking a thick steak or a large roast, this probe consistently delivers accurate readings. The thin profile of the probe also means minimal juice loss when piercing meats, which is crucial for maintaining moisture in your dishes.
Accuracy is where this probe truly shines. This level of precision is crucial when you're aiming for that perfect medium-rare steak or ensuring food safety in poultry.
While the probe is on the pricier side compared to some alternatives, its accuracy, durability, and versatility more than justify the investment. For serious home cooks or professionals who understand the importance of precise temperature control, this probe is worth every penny.
In conclusion, the ThermoWorks Pro-Series® High Temp 2.5-inch Needle Probe is a top-tier tool that elevates your cooking game. Its combination of durability, accuracy, and versatility makes it an essential for anyone who takes their culinary endeavors seriously. Whether you're smoking a brisket, roasting a turkey, or grilling steaks, this probe ensures you achieve perfect results every time.

I bought these on an open box special.. What a bargain! These are the thinner probes for delicate meats. When tested on a drywell thermometer calibrator they were on the money. Have not used them on a cook yet but am certain they will perform well.

Met all my needs

It's the perfect fit for putting it in pork ribs.

Like all Thermoworks products, this is a quality item and it was shipped quickly and at a reasonable cost. However, I guess I didn’t read the item description carefully. I needed a probe for cooking baby back ribs, i.e., a VERY short probe. However it seems that unless a needle probe is fully inserted to the hub it does not read the temperature accurately and even this short probe is too long for BB ribs when it is inserted full length. I was hoping for a regular “tip end” reading probe. Could this probe be bent to follow the curve or the ribs? Who knows?
