I fought the law and the dog won

I have been running the odds with a crappy thermometer for a long time. Im pretty decent at the finger test for steaks but i finally overcooked some nice porterhouses and that was it. New TP on the way. I KNOW I KNOW. It should have been my first accessory. But i cook a lot by feel and i enjoy just knowing by my senses when its done. Tonight i lost the battle.

Don't get the tan one - it's slow. Green is the fastest.

Im sure. I knew it would come eventually I smiled thinking about it. Tonights fail just pushed it over the edge. I was only off maybe 5-7 degrees. But it was enough to say thats it, its time

I bought red. Just like cars and red heads.

I still dont use mine for steaks or burgers. I still just go by feel.

You can't win them all my friend^^^^^^^. Sorry to hear that you lost one though. The TP will put the odds back in your favor.

I have to admit, my wife likes top round done medium well and it is pretty stiff right out of the gate so i sometimes have to put it back on.

The red ones have no soul.

Scottie, I don't miss the mark too often. But tonight just irked me. The crappy thermometer was a gift so i just kept plugging. But just like with equipment that needs constant tinkering i finally had enough. 

Jstroke

I love soul food but i dont cook too much of it so i guess that will be ok

Agree^^^^^^. But when it happens it a slap in the mouth. Glad to hear that you ordered the TP.

The red is the best, thats what I got. It works great if you like medium rare. Go Bucks!
