The kind that has a probe went squirrely a few months ago.
I decided to pick up an instant read to see if that was a good
thing to have. What a piece of garbage, I didn't expect much because
I paid little. Still, you'd think it could give a decent reading.

Didn't they tell you not to use it on a a squirrel?

It was a bitch holding that thing still, too!

I'll bet he didn't like it much, either!


I wouldn't mind having an instant read, too. Does anyone have
one that is reliable? Any suggestions for the probe type, so long as
I'm asking?

I don't know the brand, Nancy, and I'm not home to look at it, but I
have
a cheap instant read with a dial on the end, and find it to be quite
accurate. It can be callibrated in boiling water.

I just got a crappy one, I guess. It was herky jerky, and the
reading wasn't even close.

Sometimes they're just bad. I bought an oven thermometer like that last
year. It was off by at least 30 degrees. Still, some of the cheap ones
can be very good.
