Extech TM55 Pocket Fold-Up Food Thermometer, NSF Certified
The TM55 is a compact, fold‑up pocket food thermometer equipped with a 2.4” stainless steel probe and certified for food‑industry use. It offers quick and accurate temperature checks for liquids, pastes and semi‑solid foods, making it an ideal tool for kitchens, food service, inspections or quality control.
Description
Built for practical everyday use in food‑service and industrial‑food settings, this thermometer features a fold‑out stainless‑steel probe which stores neatly inside the body when not in use. The probe length is approximately 61 mm (2.4″) and it can pivot from a folded (storage) position up to 180° for ease of use. The unit is NSF‑certified for food‑industry measurement of liquids, pastes and semi‑solid food items. It delivers readings over a wide range (‑40 °C to 250 °C / ‑40 °F to 482 °F) and includes a large LCD display with 0.1° resolution. The response time in moving liquid is under 5 seconds, supporting efficient checks in busy kitchens or processing environments. The housing is splash‑proof (IP65 rated), ultrasonically welded and treated with an anti‑microbial additive — helping resist contamination in food settings. There is a built‑in magnetic strip so it can attach to a refrigerator or stainless‑steel surface for convenient storage. Auto power‑off helps conserve battery life, and the small form‑factor makes it easy to carry or clip onto a chef’s apron or toolbox. All of this makes the TM55 a reliable tool for ensuring food‑temperature compliance, verifying cooking or holding temps, or performing HACCP‑style checks.
