Speed and accuracy

Complete fast and reliable health and safety checks with the Thermapen Classic digital food thermometer. With a high accuracy of ±0.4 °C, the Classic will measure the temperature in just three seconds. It is also provided with a FREE traceable calibration certificate so you can be confident in the accuracy of your readings.

Designed and Made in Britain

The Thermapen Classic is designed and built by hand at our factories in Worthing, West Sussex. Supplied with a two-year guarantee, you can be confident that your thermometer probe is built to last.

Hygienic Design With Polygiene BioMaster

Maintaining a hygienic catering thermometer probe is essential for food businesses. The Classic's splashproof, washable casing includes Polygiene Biomaster product protection technology that reduces bacterial growth. The ergonomic rubber seal minimises the risk of the ingress of water, dust, or food.

Folding Probe

Folding meat thermometers are ideal for protecting your probe from damage while making it easy to transport and keep on hand throughout the day. The Thermapen Classic features a reduced tip, stainless steel penetration probe (Ø3.3 x 115 mm) that rotates 180° and folds into the side of the instrument for safe storage.

Colour-Coded Digital Food Thermometers

With a range of colours available, the Thermapen thermometers can become part of your HACCP and due diligence procedures. Colour coding allows you to use your catering thermometer probes for different food types or preparation areas. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination, which is key for managing foodborne illnesses and allergens.
