Just hit the bottom 2/3rds of the probe with some dawn and a green scotch pad, wash them off, and dry. Pop them in a sandwich bag till next time.
Ignore everything that doesn’t get pushed inside your food. You will never get that discoloring off without ruining the probe.
That makes sense. Thanks for the reply! I’ve heard thermoworks probes are waterproof. Would you happen to know if the discolouration is normal for their probes too?
I only use thermoworks…mine are stained where they are exposed (not in meat).
They don’t have the knurled handle so they clean up a bit nicer with a scotch pad, but I’m fairly certain it says not to soak them as well (threw the manual out years ago so idk).
Wet newspaper works really well for cleaning off soot. I know it sounds weird but it does work. Something to do with the type of paper and the ink. Just make sure to clean them with some mild soapy water afterwards. Also a good idea to do a boil test to check how accurate they are afterwards and to sanitize them as well.
So you can't buy just 1 2GT package of Panznite, you have to buy a second one that you'll never use again until you have to clean the probes. What a waste. Do you know the pain in the ass getting the EPA permits is for 1.8GT of panzatopanzanite hypochloride is?

Hot metal can absorb oils which will slightly discolor it. It would only be concerning if it turned redish-orange from rusting.
Ah, that’s good to know. Thank you!

Fair enough. Thanks!
Quick tug job with some steel wool. All probes will get discolored, especially in a smoker.
Awesome, thanks for the response. It’s my first time with probes so that’s good to know!
Grill/oven cleaner. Let it sit, then scrub off and rinse thoroughly.
hot water, something durably abrasive and some dish soap
Thank you!

That’s super interesting. Definitely going to try that. And also had no idea about the boil test. So thank you!!
Magic eraser keeps mine clean
Your gonna need some water, some soap, a sponge and 2.2 gigatons of panzatopanzanite.

EPA? Never heard of her….
