is this the trusty corolla that refuses to die? or the Rolls Royce that's opulent for the sake of opulence?
I have the MK4 after having several no-brand and some better brand thermometers. I can toss them all and keep this, because it'll last longer, and will be accurate.

A good thermometer is one of those things that takes your meat-cooking to the next level. I don't regret buying this.
Anyone have experience buying from basterin.com? Found it for $54 with a quick google search.
Btw, I bought one on sale a few months ago and love it! I'm thinking about buying another one as a gift 😁
You are right, though. Some of the videos and posts i've come across previously have gone by the wayside, so it's likely not an issue that the MK4 experiences to any significant degree.

You can just buy the silicone sleeve. It has a magnet and it also glows at night.
I got this deal when it was on sale for the last time here for the same price. Really happy so far. No overcooked steaks anymore.
Is there much difference between the classic and Mk4??

After trying what seems like 30 different types, I have settled on one for the last 3 years now that has been instant, reliable, and dead on every time (no worry, I still been testing others over that time frame). Sure, the guys here owning one of these will tell me I don't know wtf I am talking about. Fine. Money wasn't the issue, testing different thermometers was the challenge.
I will purchase one of these, maybe this deal even. Just so I can say I have the golden standard everyone here is raving about. For the rest here reading and wondering why we would want to spend all this money on this I will offer you, what I consider the golden standard of made in china cheapos suggested by a guy that has spent well over $500+ on such a silly, yet essential tool for the sake of trying them all: https://www.amazon.com/Thermomete...00
Roast me, grill me, but please do reverse sear me for this post if you must. Just some friendly advise from a grill fanatic who obsessed over thermometers way more then he should. Don't FIRE me if it doesn't work out for you, it is a cheap tool after all, but mine has been solid.

I don't understand the mindset of people (if they are trying to cook well) who will use a $5 thermometer to cook hundreds of dollars of food. This is a rock solid tool - I've been through so many cheap thermometers that look good when you first get them, but after a few high temp cooks and cleaning etc, they lose precision. There's a reason why if you go to BBQ competitions / watch cooking shows in professional kitchens / candy making etc etc they all use this tool. I like my steak at 125' and my wife likes hers at 143'. It's perfect every time. Salmon, 125'f... etc. And 130' is overdone. For my buddy's 40th, we got cocky enough with ours to finally tackle the big daddy - Wagu steaks. Had about $400 of steaks on the big green egg and certainly weren't going to mess around with a $5 thermometer. Ok.. time for my meds, hey, and you kids, get off my lawn!

$12 and change, accurate to my non-digital, and takes just a couple seconds to get a read also.
