Yeah, you can't go wrong with a thermapen, I really enjoy having an accurate thermometer that gives consistent and fast readings. I went through several inexpensive digital thermomters that always seemed to be out of calibration, sometimea 20-+ degrees, and took forever to get a stable reading.

It does seem to be the weapon of choice for that :)

Tough call here but I imagine to see id one goes on sale.

It looks like that model is field calibratable so that is definitely a plus, and it is quite a bit of savings. I picked up my thermapen on a refurbished sale, but it was still around $80, so I wouldn't expect to see them much lower.

Ugh. White outlet cover over ivory outlets? 59 cents for a new outlet...

:)
No experience with the ceramic coated pans; til now, it's simply seemed as something gimmicky to me.

QFT, and replace those cabinet doors...it's like we are living in the 80's again.

I don't know why people buy designer cookware with a crappy kitchen.

I tried a ceramic earlier last year, it didn't last anywhere near the span of the teflons, but when I started using it, it seemed like magic. Hand washed and only used silicon, but everything just started sticking to it even after seasoning with oil.

Bought a Calphalon to replace it, still using it.

So you had to walk in here months after I started the thread just to insult me ?

Go away.

The pitchfork is out again, just non stop running about demeaning people instead of saying anything useful.

Why you're allowed to do that I have no idea, 99% of your posts are slamming people.

Maybe if they didn't try to insult me first?

I have posted many useful threads only to have your kind crap in them which starts this process.

I'd really have skipped the pans and got better cabinet doors though.

You are buying high-end stuff for low-end needs.

Probably makes sense to you though.

Nice ninja edit. The original post above stated one month.

and fuck off.

See how this works, Skippy?

Go review your own posts lately you just crap on everyone and have nothing to add to the forums.

What post have you made that was totally for others and not about yourself?

Silicone is the material that doesn't melt right? I've seen a lot of cheap utensils melt on the pan.

Also I hear a lot of people get meat thermometers. I've been going by feel for a long time. Is it a must have?

I have a silicone baking mat. It says heat resistant to 500°F or 260°C.

I could probably find several dozen, but I'm not going to go back and look at the all for your benefit, that's for sure.

Many more than you have from what I've seen lately.

That and won't even bother looking for that looking in the mirror picture of you gawking at yourself.

:rolleyes:

Let's see. Cooking quality, versus cabinet appearance. Why I am not surprised you'd worry about appearances first. Do you even lift?

I am sorry, maybe you two can make some smores together and have a cuddle session.
