Review on Gladworts Meat Thermometer: Your Ultimate BBQ Kitchen Instant Read Fork Tester for Accurate Food Temperature Measurement in Liquid Coffee Water Oil Milk, with °C/°F Selection by Albina Bloom

Requires 2 AAA batteries. It's not quite an instant read, but close. You turn it on by pressing the buttons, then choose the meat and temperature you want to achieve. It has a "light" switch so you can turn on the backlight, otherwise it's hard to read. There is no feeling that you can lift a very heavy piece of meat with it. He looks very fragile. It shows the temperature of the food. We've only used this for chicken, roasts, and pork tenderloin. It worked fine, but if you're not sitting while cooking, you'll have to reset it to the food and temperature you want. Interesting kitchen utensil.
