How you spend your money is your own business. Hope you enjoy having it though.

Have we told you how good this brisket is??Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Not to rain on the Thermapen party, but I do just fine without one. Ill parlay the cost of that into meat/lump. Am I missing something?When I'm not Eggin', I'm scootin' Eggin' and 'cueing from Temecula Ca; an hour from San Diego, an hour and five minutes from Palm Springs, and an hour and a half from Los Angeles (yeah, right. With THAT traffic?)

Best tool for cooking (besides my egg) period!Bristow Virginia XL&Mini One of the best feelings in life is watching other people enjoy the food I cooked!

Not if you're getting by without one. You do use some type of thermo to check IT though, right?Gogogordy said:Not to rain on the Thermapen party, but I do just fine without one.

Yes. It cost me $3.98. It's "analog", like me.When I'm not Eggin', I'm scootin' Eggin' and 'cueing from Temecula Ca; an hour from San Diego, an hour and five minutes from Palm Springs, and an hour and a half from Los Angeles (yeah, right. With THAT traffic?) -

What's the "right" temp? This is cooking, not science. Lots of latitude, thats why I like it.When I'm not Eggin', I'm scootin' Eggin' and 'cueing from Temecula Ca; an hour from San Diego, an hour and five minutes from Palm Springs, and an hour and a half from Los Angeles (yeah, right.

mslaw said:The matter speaks for itself. I'm glad I ordered. With the money I've wasted on cheap ones I could have paid for two of these things.^^^ This! Like the Egg itself, wish I'd spent the money 20 years ago. Great tools are worth the money, by Apple, Lie-Nielsen, Delta, KitchenAid, Henckels, Nikon, Finn, Hewlett-Packard, Le Creuset, etc.

What makes thermapen so much better than other digital thermometer probes? What do y'all use this for mostly? For long cooks, I always use a maverick

I use mine mostly for comp. Cooks. Are they overrated. ....yeah they are. Do I have 2 of them....yeah i do but if there is 500.00 for a category win and 5 for grand what's 96 bucks when they last for yearsGravytrain84 said:What makes thermapen so much better than other digital thermometer probes?

Its lab calibrated accurate and you have your temp in 2-3 seconds. Completely different use case than Mav. Both have their place in your tool bag.Gravytrain84 said:What makes thermapen so much better than other digital thermometer probes?
