I do not like much about joining a BBQ party, especially when I’m asked to sit in front of the grill just to monitor the meat to prevent them from being overcooked. Now, Hammacher has got a pretty handy gadget, which it lets you monitor your meat on the grill remotely, for not letting it overcook. So, you can just sit back, relaxed, chit chat with your friends and get the real fun of a BBQ party instead of being a watchdog for grilling meat.
The Talking Food Thermometer consists of two components that communicate wirelessly to each other. One is the stainless steel temperature probe, which is to sit in the grill or oven, attached to a transmitter that transmits over the temperature status. The other is a remote handset, which is to be with you. So, you can sit at a couple of meters away from the grill and join the groups to have fun, at the same time monitoring the cooking status without hassle.
You can even hop around to a few houses of your neighbors as it is all functionable within the range of 100 meters. The remote handset is such a smart guy, it talks to you. It simply murmurs about the cooking status, such as “almost ready”, “ready”. It’ll even yell at you if it gets out of range. But, before that you should have heard its audible alarm sound when the temperature is reached, unless you’ve fallen asleep. There are couple cooking preferences that you can set using the handset, such as the types of meats, the doneness and the corresponding temperature. There are up to 8 types of meats that you can choose from, which are beef, lamb, veal, hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken, and fish. And four levels of doneness of your meat, which are rare, medium rare, medium, and well-done.

[...] BBQ is fun, but if you’re always the one in-charge of roasting food on the BBQ grill, you’ll most probably hate one action i.e. you’ll have to consistently blow some air onto the charcoal under the grill to keep it burning. Well, this is not safe, it’ll likely get some ashes into your eyes or get your face on fire! [...]
