Instant Read Folding Kitchen Thermometer
Fast, accurate readings for every cook
A kitchen thermometer that responds in 2 to 3 seconds, reads to ±0.1°C accuracy, and covers a range of -50°C to +300°C. The probe folds away cleanly into the handle when not in use, so it stores flat in a drawer or hangs on a hook without the probe catching on anything. Built with a 304 stainless steel probe that resists corrosion, and an auto power-off function that kicks in when you set it down so the battery lasts.
Whether you're checking the internal temperature of a roast, tempering chocolate, or monitoring oil for frying, this thermometer gives you a precise reading without waiting.

Frequently asked questions
➤ What temperature range does this thermometer cover?
-50°C to +300°C, which covers everything from checking frozen food to high-heat cooking, frying, and sugar work.
➤ How accurate is it?
±0.1°C. That level of precision matters when you're tempering chocolate, cooking meat to a specific doneness, or working with sugar at exact temperatures.
➤ How fast does it give a reading?
2 to 3 seconds. Fast enough that you're not holding the probe in a hot pan for longer than you need to.
➤ How does the folding design work?
The probe folds into the handle when not in use, similar to a folding knife. It locks open when you need it and folds away cleanly for storage. No exposed probe rattling around in a drawer.
➤ Does it turn off automatically?
Yes, auto power-off activates after a period of inactivity to preserve battery life. You don't need to remember to switch it off.
➤ What battery does it use, and is one included?
It runs on a 3V CR2032 battery. One is included in the box, so it's ready to use straight away.
➤ What is the probe made from?
304 stainless steel, which is food-safe, corrosion resistant, and the same grade used in professional kitchen equipment.
➤ Can I hang it up for storage?
Yes, there's a hole in the unit designed for hanging on a hook, rail, or peg board. The folding design also means it lays flat in a drawer without taking up much space.
➤ Does the colour affect performance?
No, red and black are identical in spec and performance. It's purely a preference choice.
➤ What if it's not the right fit for me?
Backed by a 30-day return window, no questions asked.
