Totally Cool -- To Within 1/2 Degree

I just got the coolest thing. Or the hottest thing, depending on what I'll use it for. It's a CDN ProAccurate Digital Thermometer Model DTQ450! This thing rocks. It has a big, easy to read screen. It is easy to operate. It has a range of -40 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. It's easy to recalibrate, and Cook's Illustrated says that it measures temperature very quickly -- second only to the $80+ Thermapen. I can't wait to use it.

Here's a big thank-you to the good folks who sent this to me (you know who you are) and thanks also for the book. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks. So far I've only measured one temperature. I was showing it to Da Queen when our curious cat took an interest. She sniffed at it for a minute and then ran the probe up one of her little pink nostrils.

I can now tell you that the inside of a healthy cat's nose is cooler than a summer day.
