Meat thermometer

I've got one but never used it , I can't even remember why I bought it!

Not something I've ever felt the need for. If in doubt, cook it for a bit longer is my motto!

I use the 'stick a knife in and see if the juices run clear' method.
Only works if your like me and don't like your beef pink

Me too, and hence unused thermometer remails sitting in the drawer!

Like loopylou, I have one but have never used it. Probably. Seemed like a good idea at the time! Since we revamped the kitchen I doubt if I would know where to find it now.

I've got a digital fork thingy which I use a lot of the time just to confirm my own judgement.

kitty what is a digital fork thingy? please?

It's a long fork that is stuck into the meat and there is a reading on the handle saying how well cooked the meat is. Can't remember the make as we've had it years.

I bought one from the butcher's last Christmas - it is just a spike with a little circular thermometer on the top which has settings:
medium rare for lamb or beef
the perfect turkey
medium well done

it was only about a fiver but seems to work just fine

I use the thermometer I bought for frothing molk for cappuccino. Heat is heat
