Remote Read ROTISSERIE Thermometer

IMG_1466-Blog-420x200
As anyone who has talked to me or read my blogs can tell you: I love my remote read thermometers. I use them whenever I can. If you haven’t read these blogs I will link to them at the end of this post. I have always lamented the fact you couldn’t use one on a meal cooked on the rotisserie.

The book has recipes from 60 different countries. Read More...

My wife had bought me some of those 2” thick, 2 1/4 pound Cowboy Steaks I’d written about here a month ago ( see COWBOY STEAK - NOW THAT’S A STEAK blog entry). But more importantly both my parents and my wife’s parents were going to be there to share it with us. I’d made these steaks before, with no issues. So what could go possibly go wrong?
