Thanks! To save someone a trip - $74, and the new model ($96) is water resistant. Here is a link that might be useful: thermoworks

Worth every penny! I use mine for everything from making sure chicken is the correct temperature to not over-cooking an almond-meal based pound cake to testing the temperature of the hot water coming out of the kitchen faucet.

Ok - I have to weigh in on the wonders of a turkey roasted in an old fashioned roaster. The separate 'appliance' that sits on your counter and roasts only the turkey. My mom and my aunt both had one and we had GREAT turkey every time. I never gave it much thought until I had to become the Hostess of Thanksgiving. I struggled for several years with that giant turkey in a too small oven for everything else and the timing and juggling for oven space... About ten years ago I spied one at Home Depot for 29$ it came with an electric carving knife. Done. Best thing I've ever bought. I don't even have a thermometer. Moist, flavorful, with crispy skin. I do not stuff but do a similar prep as the Martha one. Everyone raves. Of course they are probably just being nice but when they ask for turkey leftovers I kinda believe them. And everybody keeps coming to our house... Best part is I have plenty of room in the oven for everything else.

I have one. Excellent thermometer. I won that in a cooking competition. For me, I would never spend that kind of money for a Thermpen. If you go to Amazon, you will see many instant thermometers which are just as fast and accurate from $10 to $20. All with massive great reviews. About 15 years ago, I bought a digital thermometer for $1.75. Today, it is still working. Only changed battery once. Today you can get that thermometer on ebay for $3.00. I am a cheap skate*.
