Okay, for my birthday in November, my wonderful wife got me a Maverick ET73 thermometer (after subtle hints!). On Christmas eve we entertained 18 family members and I cooked a 10lb prime rib and 20 lobster tails. All was going marvelously as the prime rib was cooking and had reached about 95 degrees, when suddenly my Maverick alarm went off and indicated a food temp of 300+ degrees! I thought my prime rib had caught fire, so I rushed outside!! All appeared fine, however, and miraculously the maverick went back to indicating 95 degrees. A few minutes later the maverick started alternating between 'LLL' and 'HHH'. The owners manual says that this is an indication that the probe has probably shorted out. WHAT??? I've only used it three or four times and it's already shorting out?? Is this normal? I cant imagine so, but it is also my understanding that the probes are NOT covered under warranty. Has anybody else experienced the same type of problem?
