Its needle-sharp probe is even faster and more accurate at reading temperatures (averaging about 1.5 seconds in our tests), and it is thin enough to slide easily into the thinnest of fish fillets or pounded chicken breasts. The Thermapen One is very similar to the Mk4, with a few improvements.

But there are also a couple small differences to the original ThermoPop that some people might appreciate: Unlike the ThermoPop 2, it has a dedicated button to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius, and you can use a coin, rather than a small screwdriver, to open the battery housing on the back. And it did measure temperatures about a second slower in our tests, though that’s not a big enough difference to really notice in day-to-day use.
