Several years ago, I switched to cooking to temperature not time and it made a step change in my cooking. Everything is juicy and flavorful since it's cooked to the perfect temperature. Here are my tools: You'll notice all of the links point towards Amazingribs.com. All of their gold medal rated reviews have been excellent products IME. Their recipes are designed by a chef, tested by a chef, they have a meat scientist on staff, and best of all everything has been delicious. IMO, the best BBQ reference on the Internet.

The thermoworks stuff is tempting me because they have high temp probe that aren't crazy priced. I kill several thermometers a year with over heating, which is why I never buy a good one. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

If you have the probe anything but completely extended, the temp display is facing away from you if you are holding it in your left hand, assuming the probe is pointed down.. If fully extended you can get the display facing you but it's upside down.... ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

The new models automatically rotate the display. | |||

The Mk 4 flips the display. Might be a solution. | |||

That's the one I own, so I guess that's why I was confused. Works great at any angle. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I have had mine a while, love it but the display doesn't flip so it's a right hand only model. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

We have both, and have given Thermopens to a number of friends and family as gifts, always appreciated!

Took me a year before buying a Thermapen. I thought all these guys were nuts, $100 for a thermometer! I bought one when they were on sale, I believe it was a reconditioned model. It works great and is extremely fast. | |||

Mistake Not... |
Just buy one Thermapen and you'd never have to get another thermometer again. There's a reason why you buy one. They are, for the money, probably the best actual value vs. utility for a kitchen implement. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

I bought Lavatools, PRO model @ $49.99, thermometer. looks like a Therma copy. Excellent reviews. It has the features the Mk4 has. The standard Lavatool is $24.99. Bought through Amazon. Just under 500 reviews with just under 5 stars. I have been very satisfied. 8 months owning now and I cook on grill 3-5 times a week. I wanted the Thermapen due to the gotta have it crowd here. But just never could go $100. https://lavatools.co " like i said,....i didn't build it, i didn't buy it, and i didn't break it." | |||

Braggarts, they are! Quote from their website: We brought the food thermometer to the 21st century. For too long we've had to put up with cheap, inaccurate, and sluggish thermometers that look more suited for a hospital than a kitchen. That's why we designed the Javelin. Unlike many other thermometers, the Javelin is fast, precise, durable, and loaded with useful features. What bullshit. If they had said, "We thought that other precision thermometer was neat, but too expensive, so we got close for 1/2 the price," I'd congratulate them. But noooo..... They go and act like they invented the form factor - only theirs is at least a second slower (4 vs. 2-3), less accurate (+/-0.9 vs. +/-0.7), and less waterproof (IP65 vs. IP67). Hubris, thy name is Lavatools! -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I must admit, I got a little nervous opening this thread, since the words 'meat thermometer' are in quotes. | |||
