Hi,

I’m in the market for a good meat thermometer, any recommendations? Are thermapens worth the extra cash?

Thanks!

I LOVE the Taylor model I have. If you're roasting, you don't want to repeatedly stick the instant-read in the meat or you'll lose juice. This one is like what Alton Brown uses: you insert the probe in the appropriate part of the meat and set the control to your desired temperature. (Be sure to back up 5-10 degrees for everything but poultry to account for the temperature rising during resting.) It beeps when the desired temperature is reached. I've had perfect results with it.

For grilling (and this is usually steaks, chicken breasts, tenderloins and smaller pieces) I use a digital Taylor instant-read. Works just fine.
