A Look Into The Remote Cooking Thermometer

By Casey Filintro

Shopping is not exactly something I am good at. I possess many things, but you will never find me waiting in line to purchase the newest and most sought after remote bbq thermometer the day it hits shelves. I never try to keep abreast of what the latest trends are by following consumer magazines and web pages.

I admit to being totally ignorant of what the latest trends even are. Strange as it seems, I have fallen in love upon using gifts friends have given me without even having heard a single thing about the particular product up to that time.

So, last Christmas another gem came into my hands, a remote cooking thermometer, what some might call a wireless cooking thermometer. With this small tool my grilling and cooking in the oven have been totally changed, the way I approach them has evolved.

I always used to be troubled about the cooking time for meat as the times noted in a particular recipe never seemed to line up with the reality of the situation. Many times, I would finish cooking a piece of meat, allow it to rest, and sit down ready to eat it and discover to my horror that it was still quite raw and in no way suitable to eat. Then, everything had to be put on hold while I reheated the cooking implement and everything else got cold while the meat finished cooking. I guess even the best laid plans can go to waste.

Well, I did eventually learn to use a standard meat thermometer, but I felt like I was tied to the oven unless I knew that the meat needed more than half an hour's cooking time yet. So I was slave to the roast while my guests were socializing in the next room. I never saw all of a television show, or movies or played all of the rounds of a game because I was babysitting the grill.

And then my savior, the wireless cooking thermometer came into my life! Now that I have a wireless cooking thermometer I just place the sensor in the meat, set the temperature I want on the thermometer and go about my business wherever I need to. I can clip the receiver to my waist or slip it in a pocket while I work on another dish, watch television or hang out with my friends because I don't have to be imprisoned in the kitchen anymore.

It also is a life-saver for planning as I can easily check the receiver to see how the meat is doing which tells me when I need to work on the rest of the meal. The wireless thermometer has changed my life as now I can always guarantee the food will be cooked as desired and everything will be ready when it should be.
