Tell me about your meat probe

Fo Sizzle My Nizzle · Dec 15, 2012

I've been using my thermapen as the buttah probe when checking if my meat is done, but I was curious if my meat probe was too small and pointy to give me the proper sensation. Tell me about your meat probe and if I should be using something less pointy and with more girth. Danke!

I use a wooden skewer, hasn't lied to me yet :grin:

The key is consistency, not the diameter or point.

If you use the same thing each time, you will develop the "feel" and be just fine.

If you use thick/blunt one time and thin/pointy the next, you will never figure it out. I least I couldn't :redface:

I get that request from women every once in a while..... i mean I use a skewer.

I use an Analog meat thermo probe I like it because it has a pocket clip

I use the blunt end of a disposable bamboo skewer. I just toss them after the cook.

For a number of years I used a slightly dulled ice pick. And I've played with a couple of designs using stainless rod. The longest one I've made is over 20" and I call it the Pitmaster T, after Donny.

Can I please NOT tell you about my meat probe? :laugh:

It's not the size of your probe that matters, just be sure you know how to use it.

And how does Donnie feel about that; honored, scared, or excited? Perhaps all three?!?! :laugh:
