They are not costly (25$). I don't get a falsey with it either. Live
dangerously. Mine was actually FREE. Many of those ancient stick
thermometers that have been banged around in the kitchen drawer for
years have no idea what temperature it really is any more.. splits etc.
Additionally you only have to poke your meat once with the digitalia.
They are also great for turkey. Try one and quit cooking your turkey
with the little springy red popper..when they finally pop your turkey is
already over cooked. Happy New Year.
