BBQ Tip: Try An Infrared BBQ & Talking Thermometer
To celebrate 4th of July, I dropped by Wired to play with the Solaire Anywhere Portable Grill and Oregon Scientific's Wireless Talking BBQ Thermometer. Note: Sorry for the pre-roll ad. No more pre-roll. Thanks, YouTube!

Why do you touch the meat so much when its raw and first on the grill?
Also. Cool idea with the pre-roll ad, they rerun it at the end too. Just in case it wasn't annoying enough the first time.

re: meat-touching... Not sure. Prob something deep in my subconscious.
re: ads... Yep, tell me about it.

Talking appliances are the way of the future. Anyone for toast?

Ads? I see no steenkeeng ads. Maybe because I'm in the UK?

Doesn't anyone know about 'feeling the base of your thumb while touching your thumb and index/middle/ring finger method of judging doneness?
/Knows who to do square roots with a pencil and paper.

Better pry the raw meat up with my fingers to see if that 2 seconds of smokeless exposure has garnered us any results! (??)
Nothing?
Well then, what if I massage the meat into the grill a little?
Still nothing?
Well I'm out of ideas.
Please tell me you were just making a dent in that 2-Liter bottle of soda to get the entire bottle of 151 in there or something.
It's a plausible excuse, and possibly the only one. :p
Happy 4th every one. :D

Sorry I couldn't see the video -it took about an hour to download the pre-roll ad over a wireless connection, and then I was still waiting for the video...I had to cut my losses at that point. It would be a challenge to find a way to make it more annoying. The authentication image for the e-mail is pretty sketchy too.
