Chocolate Thermometer

[YoMomma]

I need to purchase a new thermometer for tempering chocolate - can anyone recommened a good brand and where to purchase?

Jaques Tores is recommending a laser (non-contact) digital thermometer these days. Makes sense to me since it both fast and doesn't get dirty. They're available from restaurant supply houses.

I need, if possible, an on-line source as I'm three hours from the city w/ no trip planned soon. Do your restaurant supply places have on-line ordering? The Jaques Tores thermometer sounds marvelous.
