This is my second Poultry Button. I panicked when I broke my first! I roast my chicken outdoors on a gas grill at 500 degrees and I used to use the traditional methods of deciding if my chicken was done (leg moves easily, juice runs clear when leg is pierced, etc.) Once I got the button, I found out I was generally cooking it 15 minutes longer than I really needed to. It was good before but now it's great! Skin is still crispy and meat is even juicier. I like that you don't have to keep placing it and taking it out, you place it before the chicken goes on the grill. That way, I have the lid open for less time.

I have used this thermometer for several years, in an attempt to take the guess work out of determining when my steak was med-rare. Steaks are expensive. and when you have to grill to several different done preferances, to suit your family members choices its difficult for me to tell when each steak has reached its chosen doneness. So I purchased one steak button, I have used the fork probes with less that diserable results. But the button really works, I have found though that you need to have your steaks cut 1-1/2"s thick the button works perfect at that thickness. 1" does not work so well, and I always wait untill after I have seared each side and turned down the fire before inserting the button. Heat from searing temp will blacken the guage making it difficult to read, I found out the hard way. After searing I hold the steak between tongs and insert it all the way in. being careful to center it. Its pretty easy with a steak thats atleast 1-1/2" thick, the thicker the easier it is. Thin steaks are just hard to get it centered, and you get a reading that is not right. So now I use 2 steak buttons one for med-rare, and one for med-well. And guage the rest of the steaks. It works for me and its the only thing that has, but now I'm getting better at poking the steaks with my finger and using the button to confirm the results.

These work well, you have to put then sideways into your steak. I would like the dial to be a bit larger, but that is my eyesight issue! One warning, do not use these in a frying pan with oil, they stopped working entirely as the oil penetrated the dial, use them on a BBQ grill only and you will be happy.

These are a nice idea but a pain to use. they smoke up right away and are hard to read to begin with without magnification.
