YUCK... I didn't see that China part... alcohol and water ... I just thought we could trust Thermoworks... OH WELL, They don't even RECOMMEND using them yet they sell them... that's stupidly weird.
If you are looking for a sanitizing solution, I recommend StarSan. 1 oz. in a 5 gallon water bottle filled with distilled or reverse osmosis water will create 5 gallons of sanitizing solution. Fill a spray bottle and spray whatever you need. It's food grade, so no rinsing is needed. I've used it for homebrewing for years.
Our favorite sanitizer! Star San is an acid-based no-rinse sanitizer that is effective and easy to use. Made from food-grade phosphoric acid, safe for people and the environment.
WELL, this was about Thermoworks advertising a ton of different "probe wipes" to clean their meat probes... HOWEVER, they are ALL alcohol and water wipes in different forms, and Thermoworks actually DOES NOT recommend you use them on their thermometers... just weird and stupid...
I fell for it but thnx to Timmy I didn't buy any so it's all good
Having spent my career in medical electronics, where harsh cleaning solutions are a necessary evil, it boils down to this.
You can use these cleaners on stainless probes and surfaces all day long.
The issue is that most all cleaners destroy plastic over time and fog the clear windows on displays.
So in this situation, feel free to use the wipes to sanitize the probe, just don't use them on the plastic case.
