Hi everyone,
Yesterday I had a slightly unfortunate experience grilling sausages for the first time. I was regularly checking the sausage with a meat thermometer, sticking it in lengthwise so that the sausage surrounded the whole thermometer shaft. At first it was around 100F, then eventually it got up to 150F, but only after around a half hour of grilling. I eventually left the thermometer in one of the sausages and checked every couple of minutes. The first few times I was seeing 155F, but then all of a sudden the thermometer was pegged past 180F! Needless to say, my sausages were past well-done.
I'm pretty sure I can't trust this meat thermometer. I want to get a new one, but I'd like some advice on getting one that is reliable. Any tips?
