Hands on with the RT600C Super Fast Thermometer

This is a great brewing thermometer!

Specs and such follow, but I'll give you a few of my impressions.

I like the quick response time.  It's not as fast as the blazing 3 second response time of the much lauded Thermapen, also manufactured by ThermoWorks.  But, it's also less than a quarter of the price.  In my book 5-6 seconds is great.


I also like the long probe and the fact that only 1/4" needs to be submerged.  


The water resistance is re-assuring.  You can put this through a dishwasher (up to 190 deg F) if you'd like.  I don't do that, but it's also nice not having to worry about getting this soaked during use or cleanup.


One thing to note... this does not have auto-shutoff.  I learned that the hard way.  If you know about it... it's no big deal.  What you can do is... shut it off, and replacement batteries very inexpensive.


Overall, I highly recommend this thermometer for feature set, performance and price.  It is a Top Find!

  1. Not quite as accurate as the Thermapen. From the ThermoWorks website. The Thermapen is +/- 0.7 deg F. The RT600C is +/- 1.8 deg F.
