I have one of those thermometers and it's completely unreliable, it
might say the beef or pork is done... only to find it it's way too
rare. When I use my own judgment it always turns out just right.
So screw the thermometers, I say. Anyone who needs one to cook a steak
or chop should just give up cooking.
