Stop cutting to check
Slicing meat open to peek lets the juices escape and still leaves doubt. One quick probe in the thickest spot gives you an actual number, so chicken comes off safe and steak comes off exactly where you like it.

Cutting into chicken to see if it is done lets the juices run out and still leaves you guessing. The Taylor 9842 gives you a number instead. Slide the metal probe into the thickest part of the food and the digital display shows the temperature across a wide -40 to 450 F range, covering frozen foods, roasts, candy and frying oil. The waterproof design and antimicrobial housing and pocket sleeve make it a tool you can keep in a pocket and ready.

- Wide reading range: measures -40 to 450 F (-40 to 230 C) for freezers, roasts, sugar work and oil.
- Waterproof design: built to stand up to splashes around the sink and stove.
- Antimicrobial treatment: the housing and pocket sleeve are treated to resist bacteria on their surfaces.
- Recalibratable: adjust the reading if it ever drifts so it stays accurate over the years.

- Auto-off: the display shuts down on its own to save the battery.

Why a fast probe thermometer pays off
One tool, freezer to fryer
A -40 to 450 F range covers far more than dinner. Confirm the freezer is cold enough, track sugar for caramel and fudge, and check that frying oil is hot before the first batch goes in.
Made to stay clean
The waterproof design shrugs off kitchen splashes, while the antimicrobial housing and pocket sleeve resist bacteria on their surfaces. Keep it in a drawer or apron and it is ready the next time you cook.

How does a waterproof instant read thermometer compare?
vs. a dial meat thermometer
A dial needs a moment to settle and is hard to read at an angle. A digital display shows a clear number.
vs. a non-waterproof pen thermometer
Moisture is what ruins most cheap probes. The 9842 is built with a waterproof design for kitchen life.
vs. guessing by color and touch
Color and firmness vary with the cut and the cook. A temperature is the same every time.
Fits your apron pocket
A slim digital thermometer that rides in its own pocket sleeve.
- Style
- Digital probe with pocket sleeve
- Range
- -40 to 450 F
- Rides in an apron or shirt pocket while you work the grill.
- Slides into a utensil drawer without a bulky case.
