One of my husband’s best qualities is that he’s a great BBQ cook. He takes time and has perfected his marinade over the years, and he loves to hang out by the grill whether we’re in the backyard, camping, or at the beach! My main concern about the BBQ is the difficulty of checking for doneness. I like my meats cooked through well done, if any red is showing, I can’t eat it.
The best chefs always leave a little room for improvisation in their recipes, but not when it comes to timing (and doneness). Getting the meat done to perfection is a must. The Grill-Right Talking BBQ/Oven digital thermometer is as smart as they come and alleviates the need for hovering over the stove or grill. They just enter the cut of meat or program a temperature or level of doneness and the thermometer announces when it’s done.
* digital LCD screen
* eight entrée programs
*four doneness levels (including well done)
*and four verbal and audio alert options—”almost ready,” “ready,” “overcooked” and “out-of-range”
* customized temperature settings allow for adjustment to specific temperature regardless of meat type
* stainless-steel meat probe measures 7″ long
Our take: I love that this works for all the meat we cook with. Some white meats are tough to judge doneness and I don’t have a regular meat thermometer in our house. This product comes with batteries for both the main unit and the sensor, that in itself is a treat. This kind of gadget is great for techy husbands that will be thrilled at the results, which is that it works really well. My husband’s signature BBQ is tri-tip and with a 4-5 lb. steak you need to cook it low and slow to get the best results. This new product in our household is going to eliminate his watch timer that is set for every 10-15 minutes for an hour when we’re cooking out. He is back and forth outside, and often it’s not the most relaxing meal plan that way. We like meat well done, but not burnt, and no “oops, I forgot about the meat!” not that my husband would ever admit to that!
The unit can be found at Red Envelope for $59.95 and would make a great unique gift for a dad in your life this Father’s Day!
