Public Service Announcement From Me, Noah — Turkey Edition!

Noah here with a Public Service Announcement….

As I told you last night in my Newsletter (sign up for Free here), we’re doing two Thanksgivings this year….one we did today and one we’re doing tomorrow.

A holiday so nice we’re doing it twice!

And that’s good with my because I love Thanksgiving!

But here’s my public service announcement….

This might sound silly, but sometimes when I find things that are really great I want to share them with you.

I always get a little intimidated by cooking the turkey, hey it’s a big job and the entire meal is ruined if you mess up the turkey!  Overdoing it is bad, undercooking is even worse, everyone goes home with violent diarrhea.

So you have to get it right.

And I came armed to this grilling session with three different meat thermometers.

One was the classic one you see in the photo above….

I bought it new from the store this year and it was pure garbage.

It read 190 degrees before I stuck it in and then it read 90 degrees immediately after I first stuck it in.

Of course neither were right.

But who can tell anyway from the way the screen fogs up and cakes over almost instantly.

So that was worthless.

About halfway through I got out the second thermometer….

This one was a nice one, still in the box.  I have no idea where it came from, probably a gift from someone.

Very nice, very fancy, but no instructions at all in the box.

So I go out to the grill and poke this bad boy into the turkey, close the lid because you have to keep the heat in right, and let it cook.

Luckily I checked up on it after about 10 minutes to see how it was doing and what temp it was reading and the whole thing had melted!

Turns out this was more of a “post cooking” thermometer, not rated for use ON the grill.

I quickly pulled it out and thank goodness it was all still self-contained and while it was quickly melting into a pile of mush, nothing had really exploded or gotten on the food (unless I end up dead tomorrow from Mercury poisoning, and then you’ll all know what happened to me!  Either death by Mercury poisoning or the Clintons finally got me!).

So anyway, two thermometers dead but I still had one to go…and that’s the one I want to tell you about.

It’s made by a company called MEATER (get it?  It’s a meter measurement for meat, hence MEATER) and it’s totally awesome!!

No, MEATER is not paying me anything to write this article, I just thought their product was SO GOOD that I wanted to tell you all about it….

And it’s my website so I get to do what I want!

Here’s what it looked like in my turkey:

By the way, I don’t want to brag or anything but isn’t that a good looking bird?

I was pretty happy with it this year!

And here’s what it looks like up close:

It comes in this beautiful wood box that also serves as the charging unit so it’s always charged when you go to use it.

You stick it in the whatever you’re cooking and this bad boy won’t melt on the grill like my other one, this is fire rated for up to 1,000 degrees!

Then the really cool part is it wirelessly syncs to your phone and gives you readouts for the internal temp of the meat you’re cooking, the target temp for when it’s safe to eat (165 degrees for turkey) and the ambient temp inside your grill or oven or wherever you’re cooking (recommended 325-350 for the grill, low and slow baby).

It then calculates how much time you have remaining, and then after that’s over it instantly changes to a countdown clock for letting the meat rest, which is so important.

Anyway, highly, highly recommended by yours truly….and I just noticed they’re on Black Friday sale at Amazon right now, 23% off.

There’s also a version with 4 probes and long-range, which I would definitely recommend getting the long range:

So there you go!

A public service announcement from me, Noah — to help make your Thanksgiving PERFECT!

Also, one more before I go….

I just saw this from my friend Jovan Pulitzer and I thought it was such a wonderful message I wanted to share it with all of you.

Great show Jovan!

Please share.
