This is the one you reach for constantly — a quick probe into a steak, a loaf or a sugar syrup to check where it actually is rather than guessing from colour.
The probe folds into the body, so it lives in a drawer or an apron pocket without the point catching on everything, and it reads from -50°C right up to 300°C for anything from a fridge check to hot oil.

Different job to a leave-in probe: this is for a fast check, not monitoring a long cook. Push it into the thickest part and wait for the number to settle rather than reading the first thing it shows. Wipe the probe between meats. Worth keeping one in the kitchen drawer and a second in the camping box — they're small enough that having two beats hunting for one.
