Thermometers

[kungy]

Hi, i am in the market for a new thermometre after my last digital probe decided it didn't like water inside of it.

I have seen some thermometers in the US that have what they call "Quick Tip technology" that enables them to read "the correct temperature within 8 seconds or less". (http://www.northernbrewer.com/thermometers.html , ProAccurate Digital Thermometer).

I have seen the threads that talk about the standard digital thermometers but none seem to mention probes that have this capability. The question is, does anyone know whether themometers with this spec can be purchased in Australia at a reasonable price ie $50-60 dollars. Or should i just get it shipped in from the US ie Amazon or Northern Brewer.

Thanks

Will

Kungy,

Check out this thread

Lots of different opinions, and links to one I ended up getting. Not sure about how long the one I have takes to get an accurate reading, but I would say it would be under 10 secs
