Batteries? In a meat thermometer?

Charmed life I'm sure.

And they aren't that expensive. Basic ones that work well can be
had for $15, maybe less and can be used to measure cold temps accurately
too, like the temp of air coming out of your AC vents.

Thermopen MK-4 reads ~ 2-3 seconds. I have a wireless unit (another
brand) with two probes. Monitor 2 hunks of meat or 1 meat and 1 grate
temp. Some units have 6 probes that will post the cook data on a web
site with graphs and charts on the genius phone App.

Professional kitchen Chefs use different colors of the Thermopen MK-4
so as not to cross-contaminate different foods and meats.

I doubt that is as common as the use of sanitizer.

Theckhmah uses an old mercury-bearing rectal thermometer.

Great analysis. We had the same thing happen with a cheap Brookstone meat thermometer - seemed like a ventriloquist where the sound appear to be coming from across the kitchen. Thanks!! I thought I was going mad!

You found a Brookstone product that's cheap? Say how ;-)

Back in the day when I used to go to the mall and would walk past the
store and look through their window, I used to wonder who would pay
those absurd prices for such useless crap...

Tourists, doubt.

Someone gave me a gift from Brookstone, which I returned for store
credit. It's now 3 or 4 years later and I still can't find anything in
there to spend it on.

Back in the day when I flew regularly on business, I recall a 64 page
glossy "Sky Shopper" catalog of similarly over-priced useless crap in
every seat back pouch.

"Feel free to take me with you when you deplane" was blazoned on the
cover though I never anyone take them up on it.
