ThermoPro TP17 Dual-Probe Digital Meat Thermometer with Backlit LCD and Timer

With a stainless steel outer material and two food probes, the ThermoPro TP17 helps you keep track of more than one temperature during a cook. Its large backlit LCD shows food, oven, grill or smoker temperatures alongside a timer.

Use both probes to monitor two pieces of meat at once, or check the meat with one probe and the cooking environment with the other. That makes it useful for coordinating a roast or keeping an eye on a barbecue without swapping probes.

For a single reading, a basic one-probe thermometer may be enough. The TP17 is designed for cooks who want simultaneous readings, preset guidance and temperature alerts in one device.

Key takeaways

The dual-probe setup lets you follow two temperatures at the same time. USDA temperature presets offer a starting point for common cooking needs, and you can also set a target temperature manually. A stated accuracy of ±1°C and a 0.5-second response time support quick checks as temperatures change.

For grill and smoker cooking, the HI/LOW alarm can flash and beep when the temperature moves outside your chosen range. This can help you notice when the cooking environment needs attention, including when it is time to add fuel. The temperature range is listed as 14°F to 572°F (-10°C to 300°C).

The large LCD has a backlight for viewing readings in different lighting conditions. Front-facing buttons keep controls accessible, while the magnetic back and flip-out stand give you options for positioning the thermometer near your cooking area. One AAA battery is included.

Buyer feedback often highlights the straightforward controls and the convenience of having two probes for oven, barbecue and smoker cooking. Opinions on temperature accuracy are mixed, and some customers raise concerns about probe durability, so the published accuracy specification and the varied feedback are useful context when choosing a thermometer.

Maintenance

The care instructions call for wiping the thermometer clean after use. The product is also listed as oven safe. Keep the wipe-clean care direction in mind as part of your post-cooking routine, whether you have used the probes in the kitchen or outdoors.

Everyday use

For a roast, use one probe to monitor the meat while the second tracks another piece of food or the oven temperature. The display presents both readings with the timer, so you can follow the cook from one place. For a smoker or grill, set the desired high and low temperatures and let the alarm signal when the cooking environment moves outside that range.

The USDA presets make it easier to choose a target, while manual adjustment lets you tailor the setting to the food you are preparing. The backlight is handy when checking the display in a dim kitchen or outside near a barbecue. At the end of cooking, the magnetic back or flip-out stand helps keep the unit positioned where its readings and timer are easy to see.

What to clarify

Can the TP17 monitor two temperatures at once? Yes. Its two probes can track two pieces of meat, or be used to monitor food and the grill or smoker temperature at the same time.

Can I set a temperature myself? Yes. The thermometer includes USDA preset temperatures and also allows manual temperature setting.

How does the grill temperature alarm work? Set a high and low temperature range. The thermometer flashes and beeps if the grill temperature moves outside that range.

Buying verdict

The ThermoPro TP17 suits cooks who want more than a single spot reading: its two probes, timer, backlit display and adjustable grill alerts bring practical monitoring together for oven meals, barbecues and smokers. Choose it when keeping track of food and cooking conditions at the same time is more useful than a simple one-probe check.
