ATK Does Instant Read Thermometers

For anyone that cooks meat

Or frys, makes candy, brews beer, activates some yeast.

Infrared thermometers are for frying, and candy thermometer or thermometers with the ability attach along the edge of a pot are much better suited for that task than an instant read.

They are good for water temps for bread baking, yeast activation, etc.

I've been using a thermopop for years and have literally bought one for every member of my immediate family over the years for either their birthday or Christmas...for thirty bucks it's helped all of our cooking tremendously.

Real question here. Why do you guys like instant read thermometers over probe thermometers? Is it because you can test different places?

I generally just put my probe thermometer in the thickest part of the meat and let it go until the beeping happens.

ETA: I didn't think of multiple pieces of meat. I generally use my thermometer for large single hunks of animal.
