Predictive Thermometer Basics

Basics

The Predictive Thermometer (CPT) has 8 sensors. Most wireless thermometers only have one or two. “Extra” sensors let the CPT find the lowest internal temperature (TrueCore™) even if you missed the mark.And they show you all the temperatures from the

What is the max operating temperature?

900°F (482°C) above the minimum insertion line, including the ceramic handle.*. 220°F (105°C) at the tip (the pointy bit) to the minimum insertion line.*. 600°F (315°C) above the minimum insertion line, including the ceramic handle.*. 220°F (105°C) a

Warnings and Watchouts

First off, you should never microwave metal. It will create arcs and potentially destroy your microwave, voiding the warranty on anything and everyone around.Secondly, NEVER EVER MICROWAVE THE PREDICTIVE THERMOMETER. Not only is it largely metal, it’

What if I want the internal temp near boiling? Pulled pork?!? Brisket?!?

Works great! No worries!. For slow-cooking, it’s not uncommon to hold meat at temperatures just below boiling – often around 205ºF. The Predictive Thermometer is designed for that and we’ve tested it extensively (we also love pulled pork!). Allow me

What about the handle?

IT’S NOT PLASTIC!. Sorry about the yelling. Despite the friendly color, it’s actually solid ceramic and nearly indestructible. It can handle flare-ups, falls, and the sanitizing cycle in your dishwasher. We poached it in liquid nitrogen, and it didn’

How accurate are the sensors? Are they calibrated?

To quote one of our customers: “The accuracy far exceeds what’s required for cooking purposes.”We use zero-calibration sensors that were originally designed for medical-class devices!. Our parts vendor guarantees their accuracy to be no worse than +/

Is it totally waterproof?

Rated IP68, the Predictive Thermometer is waterproof up to and including "complete submersion below one meter and for more than 30 minutes.". The seal that keeps the water out also keeps out the cooking oil, drippings, marinade, and so on. The Predic

How does it predict when my food will be perfect?

There’s a lot of math involved and the computers do it for you. Our predictive engine runs the numbers, compares readings all along the thermometer and uses our predictive algorithm to tell you exactly when your food will reach the perfect temperatur

Is the battery safe at high temperatures?

YES!. The Predictive Thermometer uses an LTO (Lithium Titanate Oxide) battery, which is very stable. Much safer than the Lithium batteries you’re used to (Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer). The LTO survives up to 105 °C (221 °F) and will just break if

What kind of sensors are used in the thermometer?

That’s not a frequently-asked question. Anyway, each thermometer has 8 precision high-temperature thermistors and IC temperature sensors. Sensors in the tip (inside your food) measure temperature to within 0.2 °C.  Sensors in the handle end (built to

How do I charge the thermometer?

Use the included USB C-to-A cord and the included charger (or optional Booster). The Predictive Thermometer accepts charges from any standard USB port. So a phone charger or other power block is fine. Many options are available to convert wall power

How do I clean my Predictive Thermometer
