Re: Accessible meat thermometer

[Penny Reeder]

Please let us know how the one you just ordered seems. I am interested in instant readings and accuracy. Thanks’ Penny Sent from my iPhone On Jul 15, 2023, at 2:06 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:  A link to a talking thermometer dfrom Thermoworks was posted recently, unfortunately the talking version says it has a reading time of I think 5-6 seconds whereas a sighted person gets a reading with the newer Thermopen One in 1-2 seconds. I just ordered another brand from Amazon, somebody has posted about it a while back, but I don't have it yet. I think it said it is supposed to giv ve a reading in 2-3 seconds. Anyways, here is the link to the talking thermometer from Thermoworks, once again, I feel this is a cheaper version of the Thermopen because the Classic Thermopen is currently on sale for $59.99 and the newer Thermopen One costs $99.99 whereas this talking model is only $41:   ThermoWorks RT8400 Digital Talking Thermometer   Regards, Sieghard   -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Penny Reeder Sent: Friday, July 14, 2023 12:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Accessible meat thermometer   What I really want -- and have been looking for, for literally years, is a Thermopen that talks! If anyone ever finds one, I hope you'll spread the word far and wide! Maybe one of us who is particularly persuasive can persuade the company to add a speaking function? (That would be wonderful!)   Thanks, everyone, for sharing what you have found!
