Quick Tips: Digital Fork Thermometers

It's surprising how sometimes an inexpensive gift can turn out to be one of the most useful and one of the most pleasing. This can be said about a Digital Fork Thermometer I gave my husband one Christmas. It wasn't the most expensive one on the market and it was almost one of those situations where I thought, "If it doesn't work, oh well", but it's probably the thing he uses most apart from the grill itself.

But why? It turns out that it has some great little features. The thermometer in the fork tines is nice but what is really convenient is the table on the back of the fork giving the different meat types and the temperatures they should be. This means you don't have to look them up in a book or have them printed out every time you're grilling - if you have the fork, you have the temperature table. The temperature screen has a built in light so you're able to read the temperature at dusk or after dark (which is very handy in our house because we always seem to be grilling late). And of course, it's a functional fork allowing you to move food around the grill without requiring a separate fork.

So if you're looking for an inexpensive gift for Dad this Father's Day, why not a Digital Fork Thermometer?

Oh, and that fork I gave him - it's still going strong after 5 years, just a few battery changes. And perfectly cooked meat every time.
