Thermaworks just came out with this http://www.thermoworks.com/products/alarm/chefalarm.html

Hands down, get one. My sister gave us one a few years ago and we use it almost daily now and give as gifts too.

If the Thermapen seems too pricey (it's more than I'd like to spend, thought I recognize it's worth the $$), I interviewed a food safety expert who recommended the Comark thermometer, which costs far less:

Yep, another thermapen convert. I wanted one so badly for a couple of years, then when I started watching America's Test Kitchen and saw that's what they used, I got it. So pissed at myself for all those wasted years and $!

Thermapen - it's $99 but it is awesome. It takes an accurate temp in 3 seconds. I give them as gifts often and people tell me years later they don't know how they lived without it.

So I have gone through 4 or 5 thermometers that I just picked up over the Home Goods Store over time, but inevitably after a few uses they break (and usually at the most inopportune times). I am ready to invest in a decent one in hopes that it will last. Do you have one you love?
