I used to have that exact thermometer, Kay. Once the first battery died it started going through them like me eating chicken wings. I should have bought another one, but got a Thermapen instead. Mistake on my part.
How does the yellow thingy clean shrimp?
He inserts the pointy end under the shell splitting it, and the bottom of the pointy end is a barb that takes out the poo.
It was one of the few kitchen items I let him bring into the marriage and he said he's had it for 30 yrs or more. I've never seen anything else like it.
Interesting.
I've taken the vein out of uncleaned shrimp before by inserting a skinny skewer into the second "joint" just far enough to catch the vein and lift it out. Then using my thumb to pinch it and remove. That's if I am cooking them in the shell. I think I need to get me one of those gadgets though. It would be nice to split the shell and make for easier peeling.
Check it out Pac!! Looks like oxo has one.

Those shells split easier than I thought they would for only using a plastic device.
Beware of the plastic separators. I thought I had one of good quality, but the first time I put hot (but not boiling) liquid in it, it crackled up. We had gotten it at a kitchen store in Michigan, so I couldn't return it.

That is, when I want to remove the flav... err, fat.
Michigan doesn't take returns? Or are you not from Michigan, Dawg?
