I have one. Very reliable instant read thermometer. I use it for chicken. I don't like to overcook chicken and dry it out.

from one review:

I've tried other thermometers, but got frustrated waiting endlessly while they slowly ticked upward.
Seriously? What a perfectly American "problem." My digital meat thermometer I got from Home Depot for $10 bucks gives an accurate reading and only takes 10-15 seconds. Sorry .. that amount of extra time isn't worth $70 fricking dollars.

Seriously....
I have one that was $17 that takes MAYBE 2 seconds....
If I'm spending $70 on a thermometer it better be IR.

This explains the difference between it and other cheap thermometers.
Thermocouple vs Thermistor
It also addresses display refresh speed vs true temperature reporting.
