    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    That's one advantage to K Type probes.

    Agree, having a unit that uses K Type is great.
    I got in on the Thermoworks new Wi-Fi unit. Looks very well built.
    It shipped this week and scheduled to hit home tomorrow. Just in time for that little Gulf of Mexico rain storm.lol

    True - not just any Type K probe will do.

    A K type probe in and of itself doesn't mean that it is suitable for high temps. You need to get one specifically for the range you want to expose it too. The advantage of K type probes is that they are available in a very wide range of types for all sorts of uses and a wide range of environments unlike "headphone jack" type probes which are much more limited in comparison.

    I probably should have expounded on that in my first comment.

    Yes, I know what K-type probes are and yes, I know there are different ratings for probes and wires and wire coatings. Clearly a tongue-in-cheek comment goes over a few people's heads. No harm, no foul. Carry on.

    I guess we interpret "clearly" somewhat differently. :)
