A folding penetration thermometer widely used for core temperature spot checks.
The best feature of the testo 104 is its combination of a waterproof IP65-rated housing and a robust folding metal joint, making it the only folding food thermometer that can be thoroughly cleaned under running water.
This makes it exceptionally hygienic and durable for the high-intensity demands of food production, catering, and retail in 2025.
Key Advantages for Professionals
Hygienic Maintenance: The IP65 rating allows you to rinse the device under a tap to prevent cross-contamination.
Precision & Minimal Impact: It features an especially thin but rugged sensor tip that leaves virtually no trace when inserted into food, delivering an accuracy of ±0.5 °C.
Versatile Angles: The probe can be folded out at a 30° angle, allowing for reliable temperature checks in difficult-to-reach places or tight storage bins.
Automatic Final Readings: It includes an auto-hold function that automatically recognizes and locks in the final temperature reading, along with min/max memory.
Cross-Contamination Prevention: Each unit comes with adhesive color strips so teams can assign specific thermometers to different food groups (e.g., raw meat vs. poultry).
Instant Activation: The device automatically switches on when the probe is folded out and switches off when folded back.
