Default Report on temperature sticks.

A while back I was looking for an item I used many years ago; sticks that
could be put in steaks on the grill and display the doneness.
Tracy gave me a link for something close. (Link now not responding.)
I used them today.
First: They do not read the temperature without taking them out of the meat.
Second: If you do take them out and the meat is not done enough, you can out
them back in.
Third: If you turn over the steak and then insert the stick, the surface
temperature of the side that just came off the grill surface will cause the
stick to immediately indicate well done.
So: Use them after you will no longer turn over the steak or let the top
cool.
Tracy: This criticism is in no way directed to you.
Thanks,
Tom
