DOT is a single-channel alarm thermometer built for cooks who want reliable results without complexity. Set your target temperature, insert the probe, and DOT alerts you when your food is perfectly done. No presets, no complicated menus, no extra steps. The large display shows current and goal temperatures simultaneously so you can track progress at a glance. Designed to work with ThermoWorks commercial-grade Pro-Series probes, DOT reads temperatures up to 572°F and delivers the accuracy trusted in restaurants. It’s ideal for roasting, smoking, baking, frying, candy making, and sous vide — or any cook where tracking temperature over time matters more than split-second readings. Splash-resistant, magnetic, and built for years of use, DOT delivers focused temperature monitoring in its simplest form.

Your search begins and ends with Thermoworks. Not the cheap shit on Amazon. Order direct. They will send you a package of jellybeans and a handy laminated card with cooking temps. Fantastic company and products. Look no further. Personally you should have a “remote” (leave in) thermometer like the Dot AND an instant thermometer like the thermapen or thermopop. Both have their uses.

Thermoworks is the way. i’ve got a ThermoPen for quick readings. and a wired probe Dot for in-oven temping. the Pen is at least a eight years old. never even changed the battery and use a couple times a week. Dot is maybe five years old. same.

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
Here's my list of brands that have earned my loyalty: * **Saddleback leather -** It's pricy, but I've never been disappointed with anything I've purchased there and the quality is rock solid. I've now bought multiple bags, a wallet that I've carried for 10+ years, and a desk pad. * **Patagonia** \- Great company, great products, great warranty. * **Lodge** \- The best value Cast Iron around. Sure, you can find better pans. . . for 5-10x the cost. Lodge delivers an excellent product at a very fair price. * **Spyderco** \- I spent a lot of years casually collecting pocket knives, with well over a hundred pocket knives in my set. Spyderco isn't necessarily the fanciest, and some people don't care for the look, but their excellent quality and the functionality is top notch. * **Victorinox** \- A Swiss Army Knife is still a great knife and I carry one regularly. Their multi-tools are better than Leatherman, and their kitchen knives are rockstars for the price. * **ThermoWorks** \- If you want a good thermometer (and if you cook, you do), this is the brand you should buy. The Thermapen is the gold standard, but the ThermoPop is a great budget option, the SPOT is a great fridge thermometer, and the DOT is an amazing probe thermometer. I've got half a dozen thermometers from ThermoWorks and I wouldn't buy one from anyone else. * **Rockwell Razors** \- Traditional safety razors. I bought their Original 6S Stainless from their first Kickstarter. The first attempt didn't cut it quality-wise. Rockwell made it right by replacing the razors from everyone who received the first batch of sub-par razors. I haven't seen any Kickstarter company that went as far as Rockwell did to take care of their backers. And the final product hit it out of the park. I've bought multiple razors from them since and they're all excellent. I'm probably forgetting a few, but I have trust and faith in the quality of anything I buy from these companies.
