Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to
precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer.
You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously,
since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each
connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire.
Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by
selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then
program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the
proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe
into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should
remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the
wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to
the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different
foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly
displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer
can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected
temperature, an alarm sounds.
Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it
into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up
to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be
plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen.
So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track
of both is possible. --Fred Brack
