Maverick ET-7 Remote-Check Wireless Thermometer With 2 Probes

• Monitor two different foods at one time.
• Works wirelessly up to 100 feet.
• Probe and wire are rated for over 500 degrees.
• Elapsed cooking timer
• Batteries integrated

Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries integrated) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Situate the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and shut the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the existing time. (Remember, two probes can be used concurrently for different foods, together with the monitor programmed separately for every.) The monitor continuously displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds.

Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries integrated) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can in addition be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of together is possible. --Fred Brack
