Abstract
A temperature probe holder is provided. The device includes a magnetic fastener and a probe clip, whereby a connector secures the probe clip to the magnetic fastener. The magnetic fastener includes a notch and a slot. The probe clip includes a pair of resilient arms that extend upwardly and outwardly at opposite angles from a central base. Each resilient arm includes coaxially aligned apertures, such that a temperature probe can be inserted through a pair of coaxially aligned apertures. The temperature probe is secured to the probe clip due to an outward angle of the pair of resilient arms at rest. In operation, the magnetic fastener engages any ferromagnetic section of a cooking device. The device allows users to easily secure a temperature probe to various surfaces inside a cooking device. In some embodiments, the magnetic fastener is secured to an elongated ceramic bar.
