Default Help with Tempering Chocolate

I just got a great new gadget that I thought anyone who enjoys cooking would
be interested in. It's called StirChef, and it's a hands free, cordless
saucepan stirrer. It only cost $29.95 (I brought mine at Bed, Bath &
Beyond) and includes the batteries, a silicon splashguard (to keep the
bottom clean) and has a continuous and intermittent setting (for when a
recipe calls for only occasional stirring). I've used it for risotto, rice
pudding, gravy, and sauces (to name a few things), and it really works
great, but what is really nice is that it great when tempering chocolate.
Instead of being stuck at the stove stirring, I was freed up to set the
table, watch TV and even run out to the store for a thing or two I forgot
for the meal!
It has plenty of power (I've used it for polenta) and the batteries last a
long time - the manufacturer says they will last 5 hours on continuous run
or 10 hours on intermittent - I'm still on my 1st set of batteries and have
used it over 12 times for about a total of 4 hours and the batteries are
still going strong.

If you want more info they have a web site - www.stirchef.com that you can
check out.

Note that you can't find it on the BBB website unless you spell it as
two words (Stir Chef):
