I used to rely on the "poke, guess, and hope" method for checking meat temperatures. Now, with the ThermoPop 2, I get a reading faster than I can say "well-done" (which, by the way, is no longer an option in my kitchen).This little gadget delivers super-fast readings in just 2–3 seconds and is accurate to within ±1°F. It's waterproof, so I can spill my marinades without a second thought. The auto-rotating, backlit display means I can check temps from any angle—even upside down—perfect for those awkward grill maneuvers.Whether you're a seasoned chef or a backyard BBQ enthusiast, the ThermoPop 2 is the trusty sidekick every cook deserves. It's like having a culinary superhero in your pocket—minus the cape.

Great thermometer. Instant read, love the brand and trust the quality.

I love this little thermometer! It has a button on the back so you can turn a backlight on to see easier if you need it. It reads the temp really quickly. I like that it has a cover/case that can protect the thermometer from being bent when I put it away. I am glad it’s water resistant so I don’t have to stress about it being ruined when I wash it if the water splashes on the display. I also like that the numbers rotate depending on how you hold it so you’re not reading them upside down or sideways. It turns on/off automatically after a few minutes. It also reads the temp high enough for me to make candy and caramel. Great product and great quality. Highly recommend!

Seems to work very well. Working it was a little confusing at first but the directions are good. I should add I am not much of a cook so I wasn’t familiar with these types of thermometers. Someone else with more experience might not find it confusing at first. I was used to the stainless steel ones that you stick in the roast and leave it in while it cooks. I still like the ones you can leave in while cooking so you can check on it periodically without taking it out of the oven. I got this because my nephew had a kidney transplant and the temperature of his meat is very important. All in all it is a good product.

The ThermoPop 2 food thermometer has been a great addition to my kitchen toolkit, especially with the eye-catching blue color. Blue adds a fun pop to my counter top and makes it easy to find. The fun colors seem to go well with the sleek design of the thermometer. I’ll note that the probe cover matches the blue top. It clicks securely into place, which I appreciate for both aesthetics and functionality. Importantlly, I think this feature helps protect the thinner probe. It seems to be a bit more delicate compared to the Thermapen Classic or Thermapen ONE. For me, this makes the cover a crucial addition when storing or transporting the thermometer.What I really like about the ThermoPop 2 is the easy-to-read screen. The display is large and clear. It has a backlight that activates for 10 seconds when you press a small button. The button is a bit on the small side and a bit tricky to find without looking, but I think I’ll get used to this pretty quick. Personally, I think 10 seconds provides just the right amount of time to get a temperature reading without draining the battery.Additionally, the rotating display is a game-changer. It adjusts 90 degrees with each rotation, meaning I never have to twist my wrist or crane my neck awkwardly to see the temperature. While the backlight is slightly uneven, with one part of the circle being brighter than the rest, it hasn’t affected my ability to read the temperature accurately.The thermometer’s build feels robust, particularly the screen section, which gives a sense of durability. However, the top-heaviness of the device makes it feel a little imbalanced in my hand at first. After a few sessions of use, though, I find myself adjusting to this minor issue, and it no longer bothers me.I use the clip on the probe cover to store the thermometer in my shirt pocket. I found that I can easily slide the device out without pulling the cover along with it. Despite my initial worries about its weight distribution, the design has proven to be more functional than I expected. So I’m excited to have this as a possibility to store as I’m cooking so I’ll always know where it is.In terms of performance, it seems to me that the the ThermoPop 2 makes quick and accurate readings. It also comes with a calibration certificate, which is a nice touch even thought this is a more budget-friendly option. Thus, it seems to me that the ThermoWorks' reputation for precision holds up with this model. Their products give me confidence that I can rely on it for consistent results.My primary concern is the durability of the thinner probe, but with the protective cover, the relatively low price, and the included warranty, I feel reassured. Overall, I’m thrilled to have a dependable, precise thermometer that offers the signature ThermoWorks quality in a more accessible package.A point that I’ll add here at the end is that I’d feel much more comfortable toting this device along to a cookout, tailgate, or camping, as compared to bringing along the Thermopen ONE. I’d be less concerned about dropping it or losing it. So, I think having both in my kitchen is what I’ll be doing going forward.I've used and reviewed two other of ThermoWorks Thermometers; the Thermapen ONE and the Classic Thermapen. I consider the Thermapen ONE the Lexus of kitchen thermometers, the Classic the Toyota of kitchen thermometers, which leaves the ThermoPop 2 as the Vespa of Kitchen Thermometers as it is smaller, more agile, still gives. you good performance, nice curves and fun colors.

Works great! Fast! Easy to use! I have a Taylor probe but this one is far superior. I like the fact this unit has thinner probe which makes less resistance when checking meat and smaller holes in crust when deep frying.
