For a start, the Thermapen reads temperatures quicker than the Thermopop.
Update, 7:15PM ET: The new battery door does still require a Philips-head screwdriver to replace the AAA battery. Thermoworks sells another instant-read thermometer called the Thermopop, which is nearly as good as the Thermapen Mk4, but not quite.

Preorders for the Thermapen One start today, with shipping starting in mid-July. ThermoWorks Thermapen MK4 2-3 second readings High accuracy to 0.7F (0.4C) Foldaway thermocouple probe Patented auto-rotating display Use in either. The Lavatools Javelin Pro Duo instant-read thermometer is the midpoint option between the ThermoPop and the 100 best-in-class ThermoWorks Thermapen Mk4. If you’re a chef on a budget who can tolerate ever-so-slightly longer speeds, the company is selling out the rest of the Mk4 models at a discounted $69 price. The Thermapen One renders the old Thermapen Mk4 obsolete, and it will be sold at a slightly higher $105 price point. But if you’re the kind of chef who really needs to-the-second or absolutely accurate temperature readings, the new Thermapen One seems like a great option. It also has a longer five-year warranty, which is good to see given its relatively expensive price tag.Īdmittedly, the Thermapen One is probably overkill for most home chefs ThermoWorks offers a cheaper $35 Thermopop thermometer that can achieve readings in a comparatively glacial three to four seconds. The Lavatools Javelin Pro Duo instant-read thermometer is the midpoint option between the ThermoPop and the 100 best-in-class ThermoWorks Thermapen Mk4. In addition to the faster sensor, the Thermapen One also adds a few quality-of-life features, including a brighter backlight that’s better at adapting to ambient light and a redesigned battery door that’s easier to open (which does still require a screwdriver to maintain its IP67 water resistance, something that’s important given that it’s meant to be used in kitchens).
