  1. We have a Thermopen and love (or rather "loved") it. However, when my husband held it over the grill to test the temperature of meat that was cooking, it thoroughly melted. Lesson learned - remove meat from heat source when testing temperature. But we loved it so much, we bought another one.

  2. Ouch, that was an expensive lesson! Glad you got another one. I can't cook without it! :)
