The OXO Good Grips Chef's Precision Digital Leave-In Thermometer features nine pre-programmed meat and poultry doneness settings, based on USDA and chefs recommendations. Place the probe in the food, and extend the stainless steel cord out of the grill or the oven to continuously monitor temperature. The alarm will sound twice: once at ten degrees below the target temperature, and again at the target temperature. Requires two AAA batteries (included).
