Mine too. Different brands. But what's even scarier is that none of my
three or four different types of thermometer will give the same
reading. Can't
remember my last test but I think I had the same water boiling at 200F
and 220F. The others were somewhere in the middle. I use an
abbreviated
karate jab on roasts and the forefinger poke on steaks. Chickens? I
felta thigh.
