apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I would like to grill a pork tenderloin. They are great for the summer but I am always a little weary of pork on a grill because I never know if it's at the correct temp.

My boyfriend was just talking about how badly we need one of these...

Pick me! Please! I have been eyeing these things for a while now and never got around to ordering them.

Well, my husband is the griller in this family (I prep the food), and he has a tendency to either undercook or overcook my steak ... SO, I would like him to make me a true MEDIUM-RARE steak. Yum.

This would be great to grill any meat. My husband always thinks he is "helping" me when he insists on grilling our meat. However, I get called outside many times to answer the age old question "Is it ready yet?" Sometimes he even removes everything from the grill, brings it inside and asks if it is done.
He can't seem to grasp the touch test for doneness, so this thermometer would solve the problem. When he grills, I would actually get a night off where I don't do the cooking.

My current thermometer takes too long to read the temperature :(

I do need a thermometer desperately, and I'd use it on the grill along with anything pork - my true BBQ love :)

I would like to grill the rabbit I have sitting in my freezer... and the duck... and the durian.... yes. I need this!

Any large piece of meat (easy to be unsure of doneness on the grill...)

I'd like to grill me up some elk steaks. Uh, anyone know what temperature elk is done at?

~Q

This would be great for using with our stovetop smoker ... mmmmmm slow-smoked ribs at the perfect temperature ... drool!

I'll grill up a tri-tip.

I have some nice buffalo steaks fresh from a local farm that I am sure would not mind a poke or two with a meat thermometer. Top it off with some foil-wrapped onions and portobellos. Hmmmm. Second thought, I am not sure I can wait on a thermometer... ;)

Of all the cooking gadgets in my arsenal, surprisingly, no meat thermometer...

My wife really needs one.

ribeye... mmm

Ooooh I would make a nice sirloin.

i love to have cookouts and invite friends and family over. I would love to make some chicken dishes with the help of the thermometer!

We have a digital probe thermometer but a nice instant read like this would be awesome!!

i would grill bleu cheese turkey burgers, pork tenderloin, peaches... thanks, folks!

I'd grill fish and chicken.

thermometer haiku:

Big juicy sirloins
Searing over the hot coals.
I see my future.

Chicken or pork.

I'd grill filet mignons. They are so hard to cook on the grill!

rosemary chicken and angus beef hamburguers (on special ocassions) and everything else any weekend!!!!!!!!
for my hubby and me =)
thanxs

I would like to try chicken where I know it is really done.

I really need some help when it comes to making sure something is truly done or not, please help !!!!

oh yes, i've been a little scared of grilling meat as i'm a bit of a grilling newbie. pork tenderloin, medium rare steaks... to go along with the grilled corn and tomatoes i've been loving so far this summer!!!

I don't eat steaks very often, but I'll have access to an outdoor grill when I go housesitting for the month of August. I'm really looking forward to cooking my own steak on the grill, all marinated in red wine and soy sauce.

I'd love to win one - mine is SO old!! I inherited it from my Mom...

I'd use it mostly for chicken and pork as I find them harder to "tell" if they are done...

I'd use it for turkey on the grill

Grilled chicken..yum

I have an huge (about 2.5 lb) sirloin in my freezer, which I am definitely planning to grill. A thermometer would be pretty useful in figuring out exactly how done this big hunk of meat is - I don't have much experience grilling anything bigger than a pork chop.

Lamb or port tenderloin, yummy!

I grill chicken all the time, so this would be perfect!

Chicken! Yummy.

Yes, please - mine is missing and cannot be found...

Thick, savory burgers.

I'd love to grill lamb! Lamb is best with it's perfectly seared on the outside but rare in the center. I've had it in restaurants but so far I've been unable to get the heat right when trying to cook it myself. This thermometer could change my luck with lamb!

med-rare steak!

I would love to win this. My husband and I love to experiment with new culinary gadgets

I'd love this -- I bought a digital instant read, but it has already broken!

Id love to win this. I just bought my first house and just started bbq'n I could really use this for my bbq chicken.

Thanks

what wouldn't i like to grill. chicken (esp larger than a simple breast) and pork tenderloin are cuts of meat that i would like to have a thermometer to confirm.

I would cook up pork chops!

Thank you

A beautiful New York Strip Steak!

I would like to be able to cook the perfect steak with this. They always end up overdone.

This would sure take the stress out of grilling chicken... and help me convince my husband to TAKE IT OFF THE GRILL ALREADY... he's especially paranoid and refuses to let it carryover-cook to perfect and juicy.

Mmmmm.... pork loin.
gkstratos@ yahoo.com

how about a big ole turkey breast, yum!

I like to cook chicken but worry about it being done enough so I always worry about the temp with this it would be great.

Fish, no chicken, no steak...anything

I could really use that, the last time I went to cook a roast for company my meat thermometer wouldn't read anything so I need a new one for the next time I have company which is every weekend because we have a house on a lake.

A nice big, juicy steak!

EVERYTHING

Oh I love to grill chicken breasts! thank you for the contest

I would use this for the pork roast that I love to grill and then use the leftovers for bar-b que sandwiches with lots of potato salad, corn on the cob and baked beans

grass-fed beef burgers

I'd like to grill a delicious pork loin with this baby, make sure it's done to perfection. Thank you so much!

a great big mexican barbacoa

Any and everything

would like to try it with my rack of lamb!

london broil!

My husband eats his steak well-done. I like mine rare. Since he's the griller of the family, I'm at his mercy. Although he usually gets it right, the occassional overcooked steak finds its way to my plate. This thermometer could mean perfect steaks eveytime!

A porterhouse steak!

Mmmm - steak. I love it crunchy on the outside and rare on the inside. I seldom get what I want however... so maybe this might help. I live in a world of well done people.

New York Strip Steak! It's my favorite!

i'd use it on a nice thick london sirloin

NEEEEED this! we've made about 5 billion burgers so far this year (or so it seems...) and it's so hard to figure out which ones are at which level of doneness!

I'd like to grill some chicken and steaks and use this to make sure they are cooked to perfection!

A nice Porterhouse

I would grill a t-bone (my dog would get the bone)

I would like to grill a big fat juicy filet mignon! Yum!!

A nice rack of BBQ Ribs.

I would love to grill up london broil. Oh yeah.

I would grill barbecue turkey legs! I love 'um, but am never certain if I've cooked them long enough. . .the thermometer would solve that problem!

chicken, because i'm always concerned about grilled chicken being fully cooked

I have a turkey just waiting to be roasted.

A marinated round roast.

RIBS! I bought racks the other day to grill for my first time. Hoping they turn out well because I've been craving them all summer!

filet mignon...medium-rare!

A nice thick juicy T-Bone Steak

I would like to grill chicken breasts with this thermometer, and not overcook them for a change!

My husband could really use this, we would grill chicken breasts and steaks.

prime rib

Filet Mignon-if I could afford it. LOL

I would love to grill some bq pork chops and I would be able to tell they were done.

Chicken or pork.

im a bit of a cheeseburger fanatic and nothing is better than a homemade cheeseburger...but chicken breast is always good too

Ahi tuna.

I would use it on steaks and hamburgers. Hubby seems to under-cook everything on the grill.

Ribs, definitely ribs.

I'd love one of these! I'm working on honing my summer BBQ skills and I can never tell when the meat is throughly cooked.

I saw this wonderful recipe for a bbq'd pork tenderloin and I would love to try it but with no thermometer I am afraid of uncooking the pork.

good juicy burgers!!!!! MMMMMMM!!!! We use to have one until it broke.

Chicken, for sure. The line between not-going-to-food-poison-my-friends and dry-as-hell is very fine.

my husbands favorite ribeye steak

we need this for chicken. We cook so many different cuts at one time, it's hard to know when everything is done.

It would be great to do a pork roast using this.

The perfect thick butterfly chop! My husband always cooks them until they're really dry.

steaks!

I would love to grill stuffed pork chops, but am nervous about getting the temperature right. The thermometer would solve the problem.

Wonder if we can try the Patagonia Adobe Lamb recipe on the grill? This would be perfect!

My husband is the griller, and I'd like him to make me the perfect steak. Thanks for the giveaway.

I'd use it to grill steak-- I have a decent grasp of other meats' 'doneness', but not so much with beef.

I'm about due to make a nice rack of my famous pork ribs. It would be nice to have a nice fancy meat thermometer!

Steak Tartar... ;-)

I want to make a standing beef rib roast.

I love grilling rosemary marinated flank steak, but I always tend to overcook it a bit. This thermometer would be very handy for remedying that problem.

I need a thermometer. I'm a bad guesser.

a nice juicy steak. Mmmm.

Chicken is difficult to cook on the grill without having to make unattractive cuts to check for doneness.

Ribeye Steak. Nice big juicy ones with Videlia onions *nods,nods*

A big juicy ribeye!!

T-Bone Steak......

lamb chops!

Definitely lamb, probably chops!

chicken

Any meat product really - having lived in France, I like my meat as rare as is safe. This would be so useful for that!

My son will only eat steak if it is juicy. Thanks for the chance.

I'd love to use it on some Porterhouse!

My guys love steaks!

We like to grill really thick boneless porkchops, with a spicy Cajun rub. Yum -- thanks!

This would be a great item for me to win because we grill out a lot and I am always cutting the meat apart in order to tell if it is done or not.

Thanks for the contest.

I could use a new thermometer

Perfect ribeyes!

we would love one of these, great idea

We grill quite a bit at our house. Mostly chicken or turkey burgers and I'm forever cutting them open just to make sure they are done on the inside. I could really use this.

Barbeque Chicken.

that would be great for us, i grill everyday and it would work good on my wife's vegetarian options. You don't want some of those to not be the right temp. Talk about have digestive "problems"

Helpful for chicken!

Well, I like my steak rare, so thats not hard! Lol - SO, I would use this thermometer on chicken!! Its always the hardest for me to get right!!...You don't want it overdone and dry, and of course underdone is very dangerous!!

chicken

I would totally use this to check my beef...but I could also see using this to check the temp of my milk as I steam it for coffee.

Wait, I NEED this.

Pick me! I want to avoid disease more than anyone else.

Great!

Ooh I always need one of these and have never bought one!

pork tenderloin. I never know when it's done!

Chicken - that way I can avoid cutting it open to see if it's still pink - thus letting the juices out! No more dry chicken please!

lots!

a big fat fillet.

Nice fat juicy hamburgers.

This is so much better than cutting one burger in half to check the doneness! I 'd love to try this one burgers and steaks!

Oh man, I have a bad habit of mutilating everything I grill to check if they're done. So, well, everything!

steaks, steaks, steaks...i need that thermometer...i'm terrible at guessing doneness.

Some really good steak!

Pork Shoulder...some pulled pork sandwiches...yum yum!!

steak glorious steak. it's so important to make sure that it is cooked to a safe temperature

A Hawaii Themed Pork Tenderloin, but as wwoolsey wrote above, I too am unsure if it's always fully cooked on the grill.
Happy Summer to All.

Fishy fish

This would be great for any thick cut of steak.

We grill every night for dinner. This would be perfect.

CHICKEN

I would grill steak or chicken with this new thermometer.

Steak, and chicken. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I love a big juicy steak cooked to perfection. My boyfriend frequently overcooks it for me so this would help him become foolproof when it comes to my steak!

I might actually make the steak this time.

mine all fell into the water and ruined!

I would like to grill a skinless boneless chicken breast with this timer. It turns out dry most of the time because of grilling errors on my husbands part. Even worse it can be undercooked because I griped about the dry one on the last go around. Really neat gadget.

My newest favorite thing to grill is pork tenderloin and the themometer will help to keep from overcooking.

I would use it on steak, chicken and pork!

Id like to grill some nice chicken hot dogs, some black beans and soy-filled sausages!

Big, fat, juicy steaks!!!!!!!! What would summer be without them!!

This will make grilling so much easier! No more overdone of underdone meat.

Maybe I'll stop overcooking the chicken now.

I need one of these

i always seem to under-grill chicken, so it would be lemon, garlic and herb chicken.

Chicken is my main concern. I hate to undercook it. Pork tenderloin is my second concern. I hate to overcook it! This would be a great addition to my kitchen.

This thermometer would be very helpful gilling BBQ Chicken!

This would be great for my family as everyone likes their meat cooked differently.

I would like to grill some bbq chicken and maybe with a meat thermometer I wouldn't undercook or overcook! Yay!

London Broil always seems to get overcooked for me on the barbeque, so this thermometer would save the day.

I would like to do some t-bones--but not too done.

When I get those expensive mail order stakes (rarely) I'd like to follow the directions to the letter to see what they are supposed to taste like.

I would love to grill a prime rib on a cherry wood plank, I can taste it now.

I;m the griller in the family, and would love to have this! Last time I grilled Rib Eye steaks, and nope, they weren't cooked enough! So I'd love the chance at a redo, with the results garaunteed, of course!

I LOVE grilling instead of heating up the house... but sadly I've never owned a meat thermometer. So I usually only cook pork or beef and buy precooked chicken. We would definately "Eat more chicken"... in the words of the chic fila cow! Thanks for the chance!

Chicken

Chicken...I'm always worried that I got the chicken cooked all the way through.

Chicken is always my biggest concern on the grill. I never know if it is cooked all the way through and worry about making my family sick. I would love to have one of these instant-read thermometers to make sure that my chicken has cooked to a safe temperature. Thank you for the great contest.

I'd like to try a pork tenderloin. I've always heard it was excellent grilled. This would help me be able to do a good job.

Venison :)

I hate to spend my hard earned money on good meat and then have it overcooked. You might as well pitch it out because it will be as tender and tasty as an old boot. I need the thermometer for grilling rib eyes or tenderloins. Thanks for the chance to win!

Barbecue chicken!

a t bone steak :)

Beef tenderloin!

Greek Chicken!

I would like to do a rilled loin of pork!!

i would totally use this for our burgers, they're never done all the way, and i always have to put them back on the fire.

Steaks- porterhouse and new york strip, mainly :)

I would like to grill chicken. Sometimes it is hard to tell if it is fully done.

I would use this for thick pieces of steak on the grill. Also, later in the year for turkey and pot roast.

Definitely chicken, and any thick cuts of meat like roasts and steaks.

Burgers but probably more so the chicken that I cook. This would be great to make sure the meat is getting the correct temp

tri tip

I can use all the help I can get

ribeye steaks

since i'm not the cook in my house, this would be perfect for my husband to use!
