The BBQ Report

Williams-Sonoma has introduced a new remote probe style grilling and roasting thermometer featuring a voice alert feature which tells you when you’re food is ready. If the voice creeps you out, you can switch to a simple beep.

Perhaps more importantly, the thermometer has a countdown feature that will estimate your remaining cooking time. Throughout the cooking process the thermometer monitors the rate of temperature increases, using it to predict the amount of time left.

The voice and beep alert can be set to fire anywhere from 30 minutes to one minute before the cooking is complete. I don’t know what the voice alert says exactly. I’m sure something proper and boring like “Cooking complete”. I think a good ole’ “COME AND GET IT” would be better. Don’t you?
