Can you comment on the accuracy of this particular model?
The instant read thermometers I've tried (admittedly cheap ones) have be pretty much useless. I've seen various really expensive ones and I've thought about buying one, hoping that they'd be more accurate, but I just never seem to get around to it. (Should I buy this fancy thermometer or just save time and grief and just rip up a $100 bill?) The model you cite is in my price range. (Actually, it's in the price range of a few people who badger me to tell them something to get me for Christmas, and it's within my guilt tolerance level if it proves to be a dud.)
