    Re: Rib Roast

    Thanks SnowyNose!! Makes perfect sense. Now that I understand - wow - good point, MR throughout a piece of meat that size is tough to do. Great job.

    Re: Rib Roast

    Notice there is no "bullseye" in the center! Only MR throughout!

    Please expand on meaning of no bullseye, MR throughout.... MR possibly short for marbleing?

    Thanks

    Re: Leg of lamb cooked in hay

    I wish they would have included a photo of it finished.

    If someone tries it I'd sure like to hear about it. Personally, I'm a little hesitant on this one. I do like the smell of wet hay, and even the taste as I'm known to chew on a piece once in awhile; just not sure I want a mouthfull of it.

  21. Guru /Thermapen question

    Re: Guru /Thermapen question

    For me I only use the thermapen. The guru probes are slow and cumbersome. With high heat grilling the heat loss isn't significant like a low and slow. I open my lid all the time and my steaks are well seared and delicious.

    Do you use your thermapen to check your steaks for doneness? If so, is it one of those foldable fast read thermapens? I haven't purchased one yet, partially because I can't decide on color!! Also not sure I need such a high tech pen as I don't use it often. But I need something as my pocket thermapen battery door has failed. I'm thinking if folding model is good for determining steak doneness that might be the deciding factor. hehe

    Anyway, I give up on feel for doneness on steak; I just haven't been able to master it. In fact I've pretty much given up on steak for guests just because it's so hard on me emotionally to not get guests steaks done perfect. I know the experts say not to poke steak but, if the pen works hell with it.

    Re: Thermapen on sale

    I contacted Thermapen; they no longer print the chart on any of their thermometers (pocket or folding).

    The folding model does however come with a book that has the chart.

    Doc, you're funny "After a very short while you will memorize these temps". I just find that funnnier than hell! I've been reading that chart for years.... hehe

    Re: Thermapen on sale

    I need a Thermapen. This weekend went to grab my old thermapen to find the battery compartment partially open. One of the two plastic door tabs that holds door closed had broken off. Must be an age thing, plastic fatigue, I've had this stick style Thermapen with sheath for what seems like forever.

    So today I pretty much decided on ordering one of those New (well not so new anymore) fast reading Thermoworks Foldable Colored Splash Proof Thermapens that retail for $89. So while on-line preparing to order I called my Wife to see if she had a color preference. I went on to explain features, fast read, foldable, no sheath to misplace, auto on/off, bla, bla. Justifying the $89 eehhh....

    I couldn't believe what she said!! She wants a sheath!! I asked why; she replied because it has the meat doneness chart printed on it!! Pork, beef, poultry, etc. I hadn't thought about that, but I use it too!!

    Can someone tell me if there's a meat doneness chart printed on the backside of the foldable Thermoworks Thermapen?

    And if anyone knows of any sales going on?

    Thanks,

    John
