The BEST Digital Thermometer? Thermapen Vs ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10... My Verdict After 6 Months!

Six months ago ChefsTemp told me their Finaltouch X10 was BETTER than any of the three Thermapen probes that I've purchased... to find out if the hype is true I've put both probes through their paces over the past 6 months to find out if there is a better value option in the ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 product over my Thermapen probes.

Great test James. You already know I agree!

[ryanwatson]

I'm amazed at your video output. The quality you keep while putting out so many is incredible

[margaritarosado-fsbd]

Just bought one thanks to your great review.

Thermapen is trued and tested British Engineering. How is the other going to hold up, and is it made in China?

[bobbyrob]

Great content and I thank you for it!!! 👊🏼🙏🏼

[jahweekes]

I really appreciate that you put these products through the paces for several months before reviewing.

Great video. I got my ChefsTemp close to a year ago now, and I've been SUPER happy with it. Feels like a super well made and durable product and it's so fast to get to temp.

From Canada Montreal where I coud but the Chefstemp the web site is US thanks for your Yelp I Watch all your vidéos

[deangrant]

I love your honest approach. I can always take what you say to the bank. Thank you

I got a Thermapen One on a BF sale. Don't regret spending the cash one bit. Only has to save you one cook to pay for itself. I recommend using it on EVERYTHING, even foods you don't think you need it for, just to put a number to the result. It's interesting to find out what your ideal temperature is on stuff like soups, sauces, and teas. It's also good to put a number to the "feel" of how done/tough meats are so that eventually you can rely on it less.

Hi James, just placed an order for the chefstemp. I didn't need because I have a thermapen one but honestly I liked the upgraded functionality. 270 swinging probe. As a left hander this is much appreciated. I also like that it has a built in magnet vs thermapen you have to pay extra for the case with magnet. And I like that its water rated. I get really anxious about cleaning the tip of my thermapen and having water run into the plastic. Overall no brainer upgrade and don't mind supporting you by buying through your link.

The Thermapen will be relegated to baking duty.

Really appreciate you spending the time and using your experience to weed out the results for us. Real world facts plus your knowledge of the subject is invaluable.

I actually found your channel from buying the thermapen, and Honey put your code in, so decided to check it out

[beers-jackofbbq]

Good one James! I have been using the X10 since it first came out and 100% agree with you. The X10 is a better value and actually in my opinion as well, a better instant read! We did a stopwatch type test for the ice bath and the X10 was faster as well! Cheers!

[DayInTheLifeOfAl]

I got the chefs temp about a month prior to you posting this video. I really like it and an added benefit is that it’ll fit nicely in my left hand when rotated at 270 degrees like you mentioned. I hope other lefties can benefit from this. Great video as always!

The problem with the cheaper units is not that they read incorrectly it’s that they take a long time to get to the said temp, and they often bounce around a lot deciding on what actual temp it is. I noticed a bit of creative video work in this one cutting out the actual vid of getting to temp and cutting back in when it is at the temp. I had many bargain thermos and I got tired of them jumping all around, a cheaper alternative that i liked was the lava tool pro duo. Not quite as fast at the thermapen one but a pretty good performer. Also when you took the thermapen out of the ice bath you can see it climbing in temps from the ambient air temp although that’s not what they are for you see the cheaper one stuck on 36 and not climbing

The FinalTouchX10 is the finest thermometer I've ever used. I was a professional chef for 30+ years, and have used many thermometers and the Chefstemp Final Touch X10 is my go to thermometer

[SilverFoxCooking]

I love my Thermopen IR. I honestly think I use the IR part the most. I have another cheap brand that seems to work fine, but the feel of the thermopen is great. Most cheap instant read thermometers are plenty accurate for most home chefs though.

[chef-magoo]

as always, great vid, pretty work! That said, I got to say, and I realize this is in everybody’s situation, what is an almost completely blind cook summer Works has come to my rescue many times over. They are the only company that I know of that makes a rocksolid talking thermometer, of which I have several. Their customer service is absolutely the best, so much so that I bought the blue dot in the signals. So maybe there is a tool out there that’s a little bit cheaper, but this company has gone the extra mile to try and make this kind of technology accessible for a market that usually isn’t even considered.😊
