Tiny thermometer goes anywhere
Fits on a keychain
Fold-away probe design
°C/°F Switchable
Measure temperature everywhere you go! Friends and family will be amazed at your devotion to physical science! Just a tad slower and less accurate than our more serious, professional tools, you can’t beat its convenience. The short penetration probe is blunted and folds away for pocket safety. Temperature affects virtually every aspect of daily life. Show the world how well you understand that! Get one for yourself and each of your buddies.
Has an accuracy of ±3°F. Switches between °C and °F. Includes keychain ring and battery. 30-day warranty. (Not designed for professional food safety.)
Note from HBF: This used to be called a mini Thermapen but has been renamed to the Fun-Size thermometer.

Since infrared thermometers are no touch, you can check the temp of yeast washing and yeast rehydration water and your starter wort without the risk of infection. I find mine particularly useful for rehydrating yeast.
Infrared thermometers should not be considered a direct replacement for your standard thermometer. A quality IR thermometer will give you a close approximation of surface temperatures. Note that steam seems to throw off readings. Uses include: Contained yeast rehydration water, chilled wort or starter temperature, kegerator, fermenter or fermenation area and beer tasting samples.
The Mix and Match sale allows you to get the volume discount (usually need to purchase 5 of the same item) by purchasing just two items. It’s worth noting that you can pick two different items to get the discount.
Note that both sales use ThermoWorks Holiday Gift Guide as their landing page. Sale Items and Mix and Match Items are clearly marked.

More About the RT600C
The RT600C digital pocket thermometer has been Rated #1 by a leading Cook’s Magazine. This ThermoWorks digital pocket thermometer reads temperatures in just 5 seconds. A Super-Fast® digital thermometer, the RT600C is currently in use in thousands of restaurants, food plants, labs and is carried by health inspectors worldwide. It’s the perfect instant-read thermometer, and the affordable choice for home or commercial use. Now in 3 colors!
Improved Accuracy
The RT600C is a super accurate pocket thermometer that’s accurate to ±0.9°F – up to 212°F. This accuracy is only found in professional thermometers. The RT600C has been thoroughly tested against NIST-traceable standards.
Speed
The RT600C digital pocket thermometer is faster than any other thermometer in this price range! The reduced tip is only 1/16″ diameter and complies with USDA meat thermometer requirements. Fully speed-tested in the ThermoWorks Standards Lab to ensure the thermometer reaches within 1°F of the final temperature in only 5-6 seconds (at any temperature in the range).
Long 4.7-inch Probe
Reach into the center of roasts and keep hands away from hot surfaces with the 4.7-inch probe. Store the RT600C when not in use with a convenient probe cover which doubles as an extension handle for an even longer reach.
Longer Battery Life
The RT600C digital pocket thermometer uses a reliable CR2032 battery with circuit improvements to reliably allow for 5,000 hours of continuous thermometer use between battery changes.
Max/Min Function
The RT600C digital pocket thermometer saves the highest and lowest temperatures since your last reset. The thermometer is great for checking dishwasher, fridge or freezer temps. When you pull your roast or turkey from the oven, insert the instant-read thermometer and leave it while the meat rests so you know the highest temperature reading. Max/Min records the high and low over a period of up to 1 hour, when the auto-off shuts the unit down. Max/Min will start with new values when the thermometer is turned back on.
Auto-Off after 1 Hour
If left on, the RT600C digital pocket thermometer will automatically shut down after 1 hour; still long enough to make the Max/Min function useful. What good is Max/Min memory if the thermometer turns off too soon? If you need to record Max/Min for longer than 1 hour, see the RT600B, that does not have an Auto-Off feature, for recording over longer periods.
Tough Commercial Design
The RT600C digital pocket thermometer has been designed with minimal food and grime traps. Rubberized button panels are sealed and withstand temperatures to 190°F (for commercial dishwasher testing). No welded or braised joints on the thermometer probe that would shelter microbes or create likely breakage points. The RT600C is designed to survive short term, shallow immersion – you can wash the thermometer under the tap or use it with wet hands. Rated to IP65. NSF approved for use in commercial food applications.
Warranty
The RT600C comes with a two-year coverage on material and workmanship including any failure in the thermometer circuit. Includes online, email and phone access to the ThermoWorks technical service group.

TimeStick Timer from ThermoWorks makers of the nearly universally lauded Thermapen
More Info
From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
One-handed use
Pocket-sized, fits chef coat pocket
Count-down, count-up and clock
Splash-proof
Count-down bar graph
Includes neck lanyard
Used by many pro chefs
Designed in Utah by ThermoWorks
Directly set your time, with one hand, on the Splash-proof numeric keypad. We’ve made operation as simple as can be. After your first use, throw away the instructions. The count-down bar graph gives you a quick indicator of remaining time. When a count-down alarm sounds, the count-up timer starts so you will see how much time elapses after your alarm. The clock is settable in 12 hour or 24 hour formats.
Other pocket timers are flimsy, hard to set, or have weak beepers. TimeStick’s rubberized front panel survives wet fingers and the durable housing will last for years in professional use. Designed as a personal timer, the beep is plenty loud for you to hear but won’t stop traffic outside. Conceived in ThermoWorks’ design studio, TimeStick comes in 9 colors so you’ll instantly know who swiped yours. Set the keypad lock to prevent accidental button presses when in your pocket.
These work great. Numeric keypad for entering desired time, adjustable volume, lanyard, magnetic back for easy storage (mine sticks on my fermentation chamber). Includes a clock. Count up or count down.
Use to time hop additions on Brew Day, when you BBQ, around the kitchen & more
ThermoWorks has this marked down a whopping 30% to $17.50. Check product page for current price & availability.

I’ve owned and used ThermoWorks’ Super Fast RT600C as a homebrewing thermometer since 2011. It’s very accurate, has a super fast response time and has a great set of features. Because of my work on Homebrew Finds, I have a large number of thermometers. I propose that, considering it’s price point, the RT600C is one of the best thermometers available for homebrewing.
The Thermometer along with the included Pocket Clip.
The RT600C has a good sized probe (4.9″) but only 1/4″ needs to be submerged to get a reading.
Close up of the face. You can see the NSF certification along with power and min/max buttons.
Back of the thermometer disassembled. The left panel includes both a deg C/deg F mode button and a reset button.
The battery door includes and o-ring
The RT600C is waterproof. Not just splash proof or “kind of waterproof”, it’s waterproof. IP65 rated to be exact. That means you can put this in a dishwasher – up to 190 deg F. To illustrate I’ve submerged it in my trusty Rubbermaid Commercial Brew Day Pitcher [Review]
I’ve experienced different boiling temperature on different days using the same equipment and testing methods. Boiling temperature is a moving target. It is based on elevation and atmospheric conditions. The day of this test, boiling point was a consistent 211.8 deg F as read by my highly accurate Thermapen.
The RT600C reads 211.5 deg F. It’s reading to .3 deg F low. Well within it’s stated accuracy of +- .9 deg F.
Response Time:
This video shows a response time test using the RT600C. I’m counting the start of the test as right when the metal basket hits the water. The probe of the thermometer is submerged at 1 second into the video. It levels out at 139.6 deg F at 7.85 seconds. That’s a response time of 6.85 seconds. For .1 deg F resolution, that’s a great response time. For comparison, I’ve tested the Thermapen and gotten a response time of 5.4 seconds (at 130.4 deg F). The Thermapen is an amazing thermometer, but it’s also about 5 times the cost.
In Action:
Checking the grain bill temp of More Beer’s Citra Pale Ale. This recipe features Rahr 2 Row, White Wheat, Carapils, Crystal 15 and of course… Citra.
Checking the mash temp of More Beer’s Citra Pale Ale
Auto Shut Off (now included)…
In the original version of this review I noted that the RT600C does not have an auto off feature. Not a huge deal if your version (like mine) doesn’t have auto off. What you can do is… shut it off :). If you do forget, the batteries are relatively inexpensive. Update: ThermoWorks has changed the design. The RT600C now includes and auto-off feature. If for some reason you wanted a version that has no auto off, that’s found in the RT600B. That one stays on like the RT600C used to. Not very helpful for homebrewers. I think that’s generally used by food service professionals trying to test dishwasher temperatures and such.
Some of the RT600C’s features:
Waterproof. In fact it is dishwasher safe up to 190 degrees F.
Has a super fast read time- 5-6 seconds. IP65 rating.
Accuracy to ±0.9°F (±0.5°C)
C/°F switchable
Only requires 1/4″ of the probe to be submerged to get a reading
Has a .1 degree resolution
Records Minimum and Maximum Temperatures. You can use this to monitor serving and fermentation temps.
Long Battery Life – up to 5,000 hours of continuous use
NSF Certified
Tough Commercial Design
Manufactured by Thermoworks. Warranty – The RT600C comes with a one-year coverage on material and workmanship including any failure in the thermometer circuit. Includes online, email and phone access to the ThermoWorks technical service group.
I purchased my RT600C back in October of 2011. As of this update (September 2015) the same unit continues to be an amazing thermometer.
With years of practical use in homebrewing and beyond, I can recommend the RT600C as a great homebrewing thermometer. Considering the features, performance and cost, this is arguably one of the best values for your money.
