Now what master, or mistress, of the grill wouldn't be thrilled to receive this ingenious tool? Simply insert the temperature tip into any meat or fish and temperature will register in one second.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great BBQ tool, February 15, 2004

This is a great tool for the grill. It is the easiest one to use I have found. The readout is a grid which tells you how done any piece of meat is based on the temp - this allows you to check different things on the grill (i.e. chicken and beef) without having to reprogram the fork. The only better one I have seen is by the same company, and is basically the same except it includes a light.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not believe the "Instantly check temperature", August 5, 2005

I bought this fork for only one reason. The ad says, and I quote, "Instantly check temperature and doneness of beef, lamb, veal, pork, turkey, chicken or fish". Well, guess what, it takes as long as the fork I presently use. I just put the fork into a glass of hot water and it took about 25 seconds to register. I gave it one star only because I want anyone else that thinks it will register temperature instantly to know the truth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, works as advertised, December 7, 2005

I received this as a gift from my in-laws for the Christmas of 2004. After 1 year of use, it has held up well and has delivered on its advertising. The batteries lasted a full year.

This thermometer help me diagnose the reason why I was not able to cook a great steak. My 36,000 BTU gas grill was not "hot enough" to propertly cook a thick steak. By the time that the center of a thick steak reached the proper tempurate, the external part of the steak was charred.

I upgraded to a 67,000 BTU Grill this fall. Now, I get perfect searing and a rosey center. The thermometer does a great job at telling me, instantly, the temperature. In fact, if I leave it in the steak, I will actually see the tempurate increase as the meet cooks.

One disadvantage of this design... with my 67,000 BTU grill, the short handle causes my hands to get uncomfortable close to the cooking surface where a lot of heat is generated. A longer handle would be better. On the 36,000 BTU grill, this was not a problem. I deduct 1 point for this.

I plan to upgrade to a wireless remote grill thermometer.
