. My question to the OP is, why? Modern digital thermometers are pretty accurate, certainly good enough for just about any kitchen application. What is the need for the extreme accuracy?

Actually both a probe type digital thermometer and a remote reading are handy. If you can only talk Santa into one, a probe thermometer is your best choice. You should use it for a lot more than just meat in the oven. (Are the...

I was at the Chocolate Show in NYC this past weekend, and Jacques Torres had a laser thermometer to test the temperature of his chocolate. This seems like an excellent idea, because I hate having to stick a digital temperature...

for medium-rare and 140F for medium. However, I recently purchased a digital thermometer with doneness temps pre-programmed. It appears the new temps for beef, med-rare is 145F and medium is 160F. Wow! 160F is well done to me. I...

I recently was givin a Maverick digital oil and candy thermometer. The tip of the thermometer is covered with about an inch of PVC tubing. The tubing does not slide off. The instructions do not say whether to remove the tubing or...

(they are too painfully slow to spot check and wildly innaccurate) and figured long ago that they did as good or better job by guessing. Some of the cheaper digital thermometers are similarly @rappy — they just let you read...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy a Thermapen digital thermometer? Thanks!

digital thermometers and a battery-operated pepper mill. They were all quite inexpensive. I bought a remote BBQ thermometer for $7.99. According to the clerk they get a lot of “stocking stuffer” things like this in...
