Reminder: Check your meat thermometer

Almost burnt the open range chicken on the grill tonght. Actually some was. Wife suggesed I check thermometer, in boiling it was 20 degrees off. It was still very good with boiled potatoes from the farmers market and lettuce/greens from the backyard garden. Going to buy a new one.

I just discovered my thermometer is also 20 degrees off. Must be a thermo-virus! Anyone have any recommendations for an instant-read thermometer??

goto Dine Company on preston and buy a restaurant grade thermometer that you can calibrate.

put it in ice water and calibrate to 32 degrees whenever it seems off.

looks like this:


shouldn't cost you more than $10, and it's really all you'd ever need for temping (unless you're doing confection work).
