Whether you’re grilling, baking or stewing, this thermometer gives you the certainty of professional results, effortlessly.
Ideal Length for Safety and Control
One of the Beefeater Probe Thermometer’s most outstanding features is its generous 43 cm length, which allows you to handle it comfortably without having to get too close to the heat source. This distance is especially useful for high temperature barbecues, ovens or deep pans, as it prevents burns and improves control during the cooking process. Thanks to its long reach, you can insert the probe into the centre of large pieces of meat or bulky foods, ensuring accurate internal measurement without compromising the final result.
Stainless Steel Construction: Total Resistance
Stainless steel is a material of choice for chefs and grillers around the world for its durability, hygiene and resistance to wear and tear. This thermometer is made entirely from high quality stainless steel, ensuring that it will perform for years to come, even under demanding conditions. It withstands constant exposure to heat, liquids and sudden temperature changes without rusting or deterioration. In addition, this type of construction gives it an elegant, professional and easy-to-clean finish, ideal for environments where cleanliness and aesthetics are as important as functionality.
Practical, Hygienic and Easy to Clean
When it comes to cooking, maintaining good hygiene is just as important as achieving the desired doneness. The Beefeater Probe Thermometer is designed for easy cleaning and handling. Its smooth surface prevents the accumulation of residues and the stainless steel prevents the proliferation of bacteria. After each use, simply wash it with hot water and a mild detergent to keep it spotless. This ease of cleaning makes it a perfect choice for both domestic use and professional environments where speed and hygiene are key.
Functional Design with Hanging Washer
In the kitchen or grill area, keeping utensils organised and within easy reach is essential. That’s why the Beefeater Probe Thermometer incorporates a practical washer on the end, allowing it to be hung on hooks, shelves or the side of the barbecue. This small but effective detail prevents the thermometer from being forgotten in a drawer or lost among other utensils, and also protects it from unnecessary knocks or damage. A simple solution that enhances the user experience and helps keep your workspace tidier.
Durability and Versatility for All Cooks
Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics of cooking or a seasoned aficionado looking for the perfect doneness of meat, this thermometer is your ideal ally. Its intuitive design and ruggedness make it suitable for frequent use, regardless of the user’s level of experience. In addition, its versatility makes it suitable for different types of preparations: grilled meats, baked goods, breads, artisanal sausages or even pastry preparations where temperature is crucial. A single instrument that adapts to multiple culinary contexts.
Versatile Application In and Out of the Kitchen
Although conceived with the barbecue in mind, the Beefeater Probe Thermometer proves its worth in the conventional kitchen as well. It can be used to accurately monitor the internal temperature of food cooked in the oven, steaming, slow cookers or even techniques such as sous-vide. It is also useful for those who prepare more delicate recipes, such as terrines, homemade pâtés or desserts that require precise temperature control. Its versatility makes it an indispensable utensil for all types of cooks, both outdoors and indoors.

Before first use:
Wash the thermometer with warm water and mild soap to remove any manufacturing residue.
Dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth before use.
During use:
Insert the probe into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bones or hard parts that could alter the measurement.
Avoid completely submerging the thermometer in liquids if it is not submersible (check the manufacturer's instructions).
Do not expose it directly to open flames for prolonged periods of time.
After each use:
Clean the probe with warm water and mild detergent.
Dry thoroughly with a dry cloth to prevent staining or corrosion.

Rabbit and Wild Mushroom Terrine with Thyme Aroma
An elegant and precise dish, ideal for special occasions or to show off your skills as a top-level chef. Here, the Beefeater Meat Probe Thermometer is essential for ensuring a juicy, firm and safe texture, reaching the exact temperature without drying out the meat.
Ingredients (for 6 servings):
500 g boneless rabbit meat, finely chopped (you can ask the butcher to mince it or do it yourself at home with a knife)
150 g fresh wild mushrooms (mixture of boletus, shiitake, portobello)
1 large shallot (or 2 small ones), finely diced
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1 medium egg, at room temperature
100 ml single cream with a minimum of 35% fat content
1 tablespoon of old-fashioned mustard (whole grain)
1 sprig of fresh thyme (leaves only)
Sea salt to taste (approx. 8 g)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
Baking paper and aluminium foil
Rectangular terrine mould or cake tin measuring approx. 20x10 cm.
Bain-marie dish
Step-by-step preparation:
Sautéed aromatic base
In a non-stick frying pan, heat a dash of olive oil and sauté the shallot and garlic over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the finely diced mushrooms and cook until they release their water and brown slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside and let cool completely.
Preparation of the terrine mixture
In a large bowl, mix the minced rabbit meat with the beaten egg, cream, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the cooled sautéed mushrooms. Mix well with your hands or a spatula until the mixture is smooth but not too compact.
Assembling the mould
Line the mould with baking paper, leaving enough excess to cover the top. Pour in the terrine mixture and gently press down with a spoon to remove any air bubbles. Smooth the surface, cover with the excess paper and then seal with aluminium foil.
Preheat the oven to 160°C with heat from above and below, without fan. Place the mould in a larger dish with hot water, ensuring that the level covers at least 2/3 of the mould.
Insert the Beefeater Probe Thermometer into the centre of the terrine before closing the oven. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 68°C (this will take between 60-75 minutes, depending on the oven).
Cooling and resting
Once the desired temperature has been reached, remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight so that the terrine sets and the flavours develop.
Suggested presentation
Serve in thick slices, accompanied by toasted rustic bread, pickled gherkins, red onion in vinegar or fig or apple chutney.
Vegetarian Mushroom, Lentil and Walnut Terrine with Rosemary
A completely plant-based alternative that not only preserves the gourmet spirit of the original recipe, but also uses a probe to control precise cooking without drying out. Ideal for vegetarians or as an alternative main course.
Ingredients (serves 6):
200 g cooked lentils (can be brown or green, firm)
150 g mixed mushrooms (shiitake, portobello, button mushrooms)
1 finely chopped red onion
1 small grated carrot
1 clove of garlic
2 eggs (or a mixture of 2 tablespoons of chia seeds + 6 tablespoons of water, for a vegan version)
80 g of toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
60 g fine breadcrumbs or ground oat flakes
100 ml vegetable cream (soya or oat)
1 teaspoon of chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Salt, black pepper and nutmeg to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
Sautéed vegetable base
In a frying pan with olive oil, sauté the onion, garlic and carrot until tender. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Set aside.
Vegetable terrine mixture
Lightly mash the cooked lentils, without turning them into a complete purée. Mix with the sautéed vegetables, walnuts, breadcrumbs, rosemary, vegetable cream and soy sauce.
Add the eggs or vegetable substitute. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
Mould and baking
Line a mould with baking paper, pour in the mixture and press down. Cover with aluminium foil. Bake in a bain-marie in a preheated oven at 170°C. Insert the thermometer probe and cook until the inside reaches 72°C. This ensures firmness without losing juiciness.
Resting and presentation
Cool completely and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Serve with a balsamic reduction or a light tomato jam.
Why use the Beefeater Probe Thermometer in this vegetarian recipe?
Although there is no risk of bacteria as with meat, the thermometer ensures precise cooking that gives structure without drying out the inside, which is key in vegetable terrines. This way, the final texture is firm when cut, moist in the mouth and uniform from start to finish.
