Best meat thermometer Ive ever had. It's my first time using a wired thermometer and it's the greatest thing ever. No more rechecking the temperature of the meat. The wired thermometer allows you to stick it in the meat and leave it while it cooks, and leave the digital device on the counter. Set the alarm to go off at desired temperature and go about doing other things, because you don't have to worry about over cooking your meat and not worrying about getting busy doing other stuff, only to forget about it. Best purchase ever!
