I posted this on March 9:

"There were posts on these a few days ago. I ordered a set to give to
my
love-of-grilling son.

"They're cool - about four inches long. After someone posted the link,
I
ordered them from CentralChef.com - described as "Taylor Temp Rite
Disposable Beef Thermometers - set of 9." The price was $2.99 + $5.94
S/H. I wanted to order several sets but the crazy S/H charges
multiplied with each set. The package must weigh just a few ounces so
the charges on 3 or 4 sets would be ridiculous, IMO. Anyway, one set
will show if it's worth ordering again. "

Note: Although these are disposable after a steak is grilled, they can
be re-used while a steak is cooking until the desired doneness is
reached (i.e., one per session, not a new one every time you stab the
meat!) and yes, you have to take them out to read them. HTH
