Meat thermometer

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

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

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.

kitty what is a digital fork thingy? please?

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

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.

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

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

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

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