The perfect gift for any chef: a Thermapen thermometer

What is the best present to give the BBQ cook who has everything? The one thing they probably don't have, and the one thing most top chefs and food safety experts say they should have - a fast-response digital thermometer.

Digital thermometers like the Thermapen from ETI Ltd use latest electronics technology and are faster and generally more reliable and accurate, than the older style thermometers, which can take forever to register the correct temperature, and they're not always accurate. A Thermapen thermometer can also make your food taste better, as well as help you avoid giving your guests at Christmas food poisoning.

The Thermapen thermometer makes food taste a lot better, because those of us who are worried about getting sick, from eating undercooked food have a tendency to overcook everything – and the food gets all dried out. But when you use a Thermapen thermometer you can actually stop the cooking process when the food is cooked, rather than overdone.

If anyone hasn't got one of these yet ? Then it's a good time to get one. They are a fantastic bit of kit, and one of the first gaget or gizmos you should buy when starting off or upgrading.
Before I purchased one I was over cooking my chicken and my kids wouldn't eat it as it was too dry. Trust me, you will be amazed with the difference.
