Ordered 5 more. Already got 5. I have been giving these to kids who are into cooking. I make a big deal out of it and teach them about temps, etc. I think of it as pouring gas on an existing fire.
Recently I did a contest on Facebook where people could nominate a kid under 12 to win one. They had to tell about the kid’s cooking. I’m too big of a softy, so I declared the winner in public then sent a dozen more secretly. Wiped out my stash of ThermoPops, plus a few other misc. ThermoWorks thermometers I had tested.
It’s an awesome feeling to get pictures from their parents, showing their kid’s culinary creations. My wife’s 7 year niece decided that cakes need to be temped. She is turning out perfect cakes. She beams as she tells people her daddy says she baked the best cake he’s ever eaten. “It’s because I used the thermometer you gave me Uncle Richard!”
I sent one to my 6 year old nephew. They were in town for the weekend, and he tagged along with me during all of my cooks. He asked very intelligent questions and is super hungry to learn more about cooking.
I’m telling this story to remind us all to invest in the kids in our lives that show promise in the culinary world. It’s an investment in good food and love for the future generations. BBQ & Love all the way!Comment

Great company, great device and a great cause!
