The ThermoPro TP-01H is an inexpensive food thermometer with good performance and the features you’d expect at this price point.
The thermometer itself is quite small. Its case has no seal against moisture, and the battery box is vulnerable to leakage. There is an on/off switch that doubles as the °C/°F selector. There is a lock button that captures the current temperature, eliminating the need to read the display while in the food (you can pull the probe out and the temperature remains locked). A backlight button illuminates the display for 15 seconds. The unit will shut itself off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity. Accuracy is good as is the response time. The probe is adequately long for nearly all uses.
The ThermoPro TP-01H’s temperature display is on the small side, something that might matter to someone with limited vision. The display does not rotate if you orient the thermometer for left-handed use.
The construction of this unit leaves a bit to be desired. Water ingress would be a problem if it gets wet. On the other hand, it costs $13.
Properly cared for, the ThermoPro TP-01H will provide good performance at a low price. You can find manufacturer’s contact info in the accompanying documentation and the one-year warranty is extendable to three years with product registration.
