We love the Thermapen instant read digital thermometer to check our meat. This thing is the Cadillac (or whatever you consider the top of the line these days) of the meat thermometer world as far as we are concerned. Even a Cadillac needs a tune-up every now and then though, right? Well, the folks at Thermapen...
