How about a spray bottle of white vinegar and a spritz over
before a water rinse? Also spray the area of cleaning before and
after. Anyone ever try that?

guess I really don't see any reason why--keep a clean work
station/cutting boards/knives don't see any need to complicate
things

think rinsing poultry is thought by most professionals to be
unnecessary--doing more potential harm then any good--I always
dry poultry but don't rinse--other meats too here is an
article about hazards of rinsing

Thanks for that. Interesting and it makes sense. I'm wasn't
one to rinse poultry, relying on separate prep areas and a good
meat thermometer instead, but didn't know why it was
discouraged. I didn't know about vinegar/hydrogen peroxide
either.

multitude of uses in the kitchen--knowing when whatever you are
cooking is at the proper temp---meat,breads,water for brewing
coffee,oil for frying etc--a good investment for a serious home
cook---

Just a quick note about the thermapen. They don't like water so
drop wash the in the kitchen sink. My sister in law soaked my
brothers in with the dishes. He was not amused! :D

good thing is that they do great(cheap repair) have sent mine
back numerous times for 'recalbration'--costs usually around 20
bucks and have often received a new one in return--some bozo
left them out in the rain(more then once)--bought ours before
the newer(water resistant) models came out--great gifts for an
enthusiastic cook

Just curious do you have the shoes to match? Thermapen is the
best by far for temp. My baby grill has a probe with a digital
read out that's ten degrees off from my thrmapen. I'll depend
on my thermapen everytime.

I hadn't seen that one, looks nice!. I have a CDN Pro that I
paid about $18 for on Amazon :D
Waterproof and you can re-calibrate it yourself with a glass
of ice water. Seems to do the job just fine.

that thermo is an ok alternative--would calibrate at the temp of
boiling water though(or both) vs just cold ice bath--think about
what temps you use your thermometer--

Dear 2fat: Tonight I made an apple pie and I did not use
recommended pie baking apples. I went into the store and became
confounded with the apple choices before me. There is no apple
guide in produce to guide one in such dilemma. Is my pie going
to turn out? I am so worried as it is going to be a gift for
someone special.
