Why the Thermapen is my top choice

• I've been using the same Thermapen for ten years and it's never let me down
• It gives a reading almost instantly, so you aren’t standing around waiting for the temperature to settle
• It is accurate, so you can track temperature consistently and confidently
• It works for everything — ambient temperature, dough temperature, fridge checks, and confirming a loaf is fully baked
• It is solid and built to last, so you can rely on it for daily use
• The battery lasts a long time, even with regular use

How it helps with sourdough

• Lets you check that your dough temperature is in the right range
• Makes it easy to dial in your fridge temperature so the dough does not overproof during the cold retard
• Confirms instantly when your loaf is fully baked, based on the target temperature in your recipe
• Gives you accurate readings when you set up a proofing chamber or zone, so your dough ferments properly.
