ThermoWorks Plug-Mount Needle Probe

This probe is designed for use with compatible ThermoWorks handheld thermometers that feature a plug-mount connection. Please verify your specific model's compatibility with plug-mount accessories before purchasing.

Standard probes are often thicker, which can cause juices to escape from smaller cuts of meat. The slim needle design minimizes the puncture size, helping your steaks and burgers retain their moisture while still providing an accurate internal temperature reading.

No, this is a fast-response needle probe intended for spot-checking temperatures, not for continuous leave-in monitoring. Leaving it in the heat for extended periods can damage the sensor and affect its accuracy.

The probe length is 3.35 inches, which is ideal for reaching the center of most steaks, burgers, and thinner roasts. You should insert it far enough to reach the thermal center of the meat, but avoid getting the transition point where the probe meets the cable wet or excessively hot.

No, the probe should not be submerged in water or put in the dishwasher. Clean the stainless steel stem by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild detergent, taking care to keep the plug connection dry.
