Myrison:
So that meat thermometer works pretty good? I would like to get one of those...
Don't think it would work on a rotisserie chicken though
Yes, I'm very happy with it. I've only used it 3x so far, but it has been spot on each time. First night we did burgers, and it cooked them to a perfect medium finish. Second night was chicken (this time on the cook top). Again, perfectly done, not too dry, and not at all overdone, juicy and delicious!
Third run was a quick steak test. Came out just like I like it.
The way it works is to first select the meat you are cooking and then how you want it done (Rare/Medium/Well, etc.) Based on what you select, it knows the temperature that corresponds to that "doneness" and monitors for when the meat reaches that point. Also, it gives you a warning about 2 minutes before it's done saying "It's almost done.... it's almost done."
It actually does talk, which is a little over the top, but the gadget geek in me kind of likes it. I'm looking forward to trying it more, but so far, it has saved me a lot of time checking to see if the meat is done and has produced perfectly cooked food each time.
