Title: Nice Digital Thermometer
Post by: Sailor Con Queso on August 04, 2011, 02:09:57 PM
Here is a nice little digital thermometer on sale for just $19.95 plus shipping. Stable reading in just 5-6 seconds and it can be calibrated. This company has lots of other higher end units as well.

...and their "Thermapen" with 3 second response. Very accurate unit for under $100

There are old style Thermapens on E-bay for less. They are not as fast, not as accurate and are not splash proof.

I must not have looked at them for a while. I looked into getting one maybe 2 years ago. I thought it was closer to $120 - $150. I could be mistaken though too. My memory is awful.
