Need help?Do you have a question about the THERM PRO TP-17H and is the answer not in the manual?
The ThermoPro TP-17H is a digital food thermometer designed to help you cook like a pro every time, ensuring your food reaches the perfect temperature. This versatile thermometer comes with four temperature probes, allowing you to monitor multiple dishes simultaneously or track different parts of a large cut of meat.
The TP-17H provides real-time temperature readings for all four probes on its clear LCD screen. Each probe is color-coated, which helps eliminate confusion when you're monitoring various types of meat or different dishes at once. The thermometer features a programmable alert system with preset temperatures recommended by the USDA for specific foods, taking the guesswork out of cooking. For those who prefer to customize, it also offers user-defined temperature settings.
Beyond just food temperatures, the TP-17H includes a BBQ Hi/Low Temperature monitor and alert. This feature is crucial for maintaining a consistent temperature in your BBQ, oven, or grill, ensuring it stays within your desired range and alerting you if it deviates. This helps prevent overcooking or undercooking due to fluctuating ambient temperatures.
The device is designed for ease of use, allowing you to quickly set target temperatures for your cooking. Once the internal temperature of your food reaches the set target, an audible alarm will sound, and the backlight will flash, notifying you that your meal is ready. You can stop the alarm by pressing any button.
Getting started with the TP-17H is straightforward. Simply plug the temperature probes into their corresponding sockets on the right side of the device. It's important to ensure the probe cable is free of knots and that the sensor plug is fully inserted into the socket to avoid inaccurate readings. The thermometer offers flexibility in temperature display, allowing you to switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) using a selector on the back of the unit.
For quick temperature setting, you can select from pre-programmed meat temperatures based on USDA recommendations for various types of meat and doneness levels, including Poultry, Pork/Veal, Beef Well, Beef Medium, Ham, and Beef Rare/Fish. To use this feature, you select the desired probe, then cycle through the preset meat temperatures using the MEAT/HI/LO button. The selection is confirmed automatically after a few seconds or by pressing the PROBE button.
If you prefer to set your own specific cooking temperatures, the user-defined temperature setting allows you to manually adjust the target temperature for each probe. You can increase or decrease the temperature using the up and down arrow buttons.
The BBQ Temperature Range Setting is particularly useful for smoking or grilling. You can select any probe to monitor the ambient temperature of your BBQ, smoker, or oven. This allows you to set both a high and a low temperature limit. If the temperature goes above the high limit or below the low limit, the thermometer will alert you, helping you maintain optimal cooking conditions. The device will save your last BBQ HI/LO temperature setting for convenience.
For quick adjustments, you can set the target temperature of other probes to match the current selected probe's settings by pressing and holding the PROBE and MEAT/HI/LO keys simultaneously for 3 seconds. This is useful when cooking multiple items to the same doneness.
The thermometer offers multiple placement options for convenience: a flip-out countertop stand, a magnetic back for attaching to metal surfaces, and a hanging wall hole. The backlight can be activated with a touch, staying on for 10 seconds, and will also turn on and flash when an alarm is triggered.
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your ThermoPro TP-17H, proper care and maintenance are essential. The device itself is not waterproof, so it's crucial to avoid exposing the probe plug or plug-in holes to any liquid. This prevents bad connections and faulty readings.
The stainless-steel probes and their cables are not dishwasher safe. They should be hand-washed using hot water and soap. After washing, make sure to rinse and thoroughly dry the probes before storing them to prevent damage or corrosion. Do not submerge the device in water or expose it to corrosive cleaning materials; instead, wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
The probes are designed to be heat-resistant, but it's important not to expose them directly to flames, as this can cause the wire to deteriorate. Also, ensure the probe cable does not come into direct contact with oven elements, which can lead to faulty readings or damage. The stainless-steel wire probe should not be exposed to oven temperatures exceeding 716°F (380°C).
For battery maintenance, the unit uses one AAA battery. To conserve battery life, remember to turn off the digital thermometer when not in use. It's recommended to use a good quality alkaline battery and replace it often, as a weak battery can cause the unit to lose accuracy. Always dispose of depleted batteries safely.
When inserting the probe into food, ensure the tip is at least 2 inches (5 cm) into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone or gristle, to get an accurate internal temperature reading. If the temperature displayed seems too high or increases too quickly, double-check that the probe tip is not poking through the food to the outside.
The TP-17H is not intended for use in microwave ovens and should be kept out of reach of children. While this thermometer assists in proper food preparation, it does not replace safe food handling practices. Always follow proper food preparation techniques to limit the risk of foodborne illness.
