[JamesB]

“if you use it like Thermoworks suggests”

which is?

Do you have one?

Do you have one?

I received the Mk4 today.

I’m not trying to be rude, but it’s in the owner’s manual. Page 10

Thought you were speaking of something specific to the new ONE

Page 10? I downloaded the manual from thermoworks.com and it's 4 pages total. Same as the hard copy that came in the package. Since you have the top secret 10 page manual, maybe you can share this clandestine method of using a thermometer with the rest of us.

Mine came with a 10th page. I'll take a picture and post it later since it's not that labor intrusive to do so.

Actually the manual I got is 20 pages.
But a google search turned up the same thing.

The operating manual is indeed 4 pages. I also received this with mine and there is a 10th page (20 total)

I believe there is a short manual and then a longer "guide" on what it does and does not do, how to use it, etc.

What they suggest is to insert the probe and watch the temp fall as you slowly approach the center, and then rise again as you push past the center, and then rise again as you pull the probe back out. More or less, anyway.

This is where a faster read would benefit. I guess I'm still in the "good enough for me" camp though.

 

[JamesB]

To get a proper reading with the Splash-Proof Thermapen, insert the probe tip into the thickest part of the meat from the top*. Make an effort to avoid any obvious bone or gristle. Note the temperature.

Slowly push past the center and watch the temperature rise in "real time" at every depth in the piece of meat. Slowly withdraw the probe and watch the temperature change in the opposite direction. If the meat has already been cooked on both sides the very center of the thickest part should have the lowest reading. That is the best place to gauge doneness.

Experiment with your Thermapen and gain confidence. Learn to quickly check a piece of meat, a roast, or a whole bird in several places and depths to gauge overall progress during cooking. Lesser quality ther- mometers such as dial types or slower digitals may not show as much temperature difference. Only a very fast and sensitive thermometer like the Thermapen can show the exact temperature at its tip.

They come with a manual????

Ill have to go check the box my MK4 came in.

Well, I did find that 20 pager in the Smoke case. That's pretty much the way I've always used a hand held probe thermometer.

When I got my Mk4 a couple of weeks ago, in addition to the actual Mk4 device, the box included:

• "Thermapen Mk4 Operating Instructions" (4 pages)
• "A Guide to Better Food Through the Proper Use and Care of Your Termapen" (20 pages, plus cover)
• "Temperature At Home, Thermal Tips and Secrets Inside" (66 pages, plus cover; effectively a catalog of their products)
• "Certificate of Calibration"

I forgot about those, since I already ate them. I haven't eaten the printed material yet.
