Slightly OT - instant-read digital thermometer?
 

I like the one that Alton Brown uses on his show. Any idea what it is, or
is there a better option? I have a Polder with the wired probe, but I want
something I can use a bit more effectively on thin cuts and in the kitchen.

Replies here are fine - I read a.f.b. every day.

Never seen the Alton Brown show, perhaps we don't get it in MN. The Owens
Thermapen has a reported 4 second read time and works well with thin cuts. It
is often seen in the hands of the cooks in the TV show 'Americas Test
Kitchen'. Lot of info and choices on this link: http://www.thermoworks.com/
.. Spendy, tho, at $80

Alton has a Thermapen in his collection. If you're thinking of the grey one
with the swingout probe, that's what you're looking for.
