I wouldn't mind having an instant read, too. Does anyone have
one that is reliable?

Thermopen. It is not a remote-probe type (with a wire), but it is the best
instant-read probe thermometer that I have used.

Oh! Thanks! I'll get one of those.

Might want to check the price first. It is very good and very fast
responding, but it's many times the cost of a number of other options
that work just fine.


Nothing works as well as a Thermapen. And it's damned near
indestructible, too.

I got tired of thermometers that I had to "make do" with over the
years, that were not convenient, failed, were slow, etc. I spent money
replacing things that crapped out or broke.

I have had theThermapen for 6 or 7 years, and it works flawlessly,
every single day, even after being left out on the grill overnight in
a thunderstorm.

I am a believer.
