Just a note for anyone looking for a good digital thermometer with a variety of available probes in anticipation of cooking your holiday meal (or for hot/cold experiments on WISP equipment), I just got the ChefAlarm I ordered from ThermoWorks.
www.thermoworks.com <http://www.thermoworks.com> I was actually looking for a way to check the accuracy of my oven, which we have always suspected of being off. Actually according to the new thermometer (with the accessory "air probe"), the oven is actually not that far off. Note this is not a wireless unit, it has a thin cable that you close in the oven door. They actually have a Youtube video showing how to check your oven by using the time and min/max features. I had looked on Amazon and found a bunch of less expensive Chinese units of dubious quality and accuracy, based on some of the comments. This one seems to be very nice, the company is in Utah, their probes seem to be made by a sister company in the UK, and they included a little package of Jelly Belly jelly beans with the order. I figure Chuck would like the combination of Utah, UK, and jelly beans in the box. According to their website they have lots and lots of products. Might even be a last minute Christmas gift.
