Grilling enthusiasts know that using a meat thermometer is vital when you want to safely cook meat so you can serve it at its most tender and delicious.

ThermoPro meat thermometers get high marks for many reasons, from price to functionality, but what is the difference between the TP20 and TP22 models?

Below, I detail the features and benefits of the ThermoPro TP20 vs. TP22 thermometers so you can pick the best one and turn your grilling game up a notch!

Best Uses for the ThermoPro Thermometers

Cooking with a ThermoPro digital cooking thermometer allows you to precisely control heat for:

• Cooking various cuts and types of meat

As you can see, a great benefit of owning a ThermoPro thermometer is the ability to use it for more than just grill cooking.

The high-precision probe allows you to control the heat level so you can perfect your candy-making skills, warm all types of dishes to a safe temperature to reduce food-borne illnesses and lets you learn how long to cook unfamiliar cuts of meat.

Some ThermoPro thermometer models have wireless capability, so you can walk away from your grill, smoker, oven, or stovetop and still monitor your food.

Main Differences Between the Choices

Now let’s compare the Thermopro TP 20 vs Thermopro TP 22 when it comes to their features and benefits.

Temperature Range and Accuracy

Both units offer the same temperature range of 32°F to 572°F (0°C to 300°C) and accuracy of plus/minus 1.8°F or 1°C, which allows you to cook and monitor a wide variety of food with reliable results.

Wireless Display

Both units offer a remote display with an impressive 300-foot range with no bothersome synching of the units necessary. This feature allows for more freedom of movement while keeping an eye on your food.

Digital Readout

Here is the first difference between the TP20 and TP22. The TP20 display format is a bit larger and easier to read than the TP22, with a more vertical design, unlike the horizontal layout of the TP22.

Both models show the temperature in either Celcius or Fahrenheit feature a timer, and a backlight to increase visibility.

Dual Probe

Both models offer dual probes, so you can track the progress of two pieces of meat, two areas of a large slab of meat, or meat and internal grill/oven/smoker temperature.

Programmability

Both models feature nine meat and five wellness-level presets, with changeable settings to suit your needs. The presets are ideal for the novice chef or those unsure about cooking particular cuts of meat.

Timer and Alarm

Both models set a timer and alarm for each probe and will alert by beeping and flashing the backlight.

Durability

The second real difference between the TP20 and TP22 is the TP20 housing has a more rugged rubber design that should withstand bumps or drops better. The TP22 has a more modern-looking white plastic housing that could incur damage if you drop it.

Both models have probes of food-grade stainless steel that can withstand temperatures up to 716 degrees Fahrenheit to help deliver reliable, long-lasting performance.

Which One Will You Choose?

Looks and readability will be deciding when choosing between the TP20 or TP22 wireless digital thermometer since all other features are identical.

Between the impressive features, reliable function, and affordable pricing, you can’t go wrong with either model.
