Thought the cooks here might find this interview with Harold McGee (author of On Food and Cooking) to be of interest.
I know I'll be tossing out my cheapo instant-read thermometer after listening to it.

I'm looking forward to this, and to his new book. The Penguin website has a delightful series of short videos with Harold demonstrating some techniques from the new book: http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781594202681,00.html?strSrchSql=keys+to+good+cooking/Keys_to_Good_Cooking_Harold_McGee
I know this is an older thread, but just wanted to say thanks so much for these links, I hadn't seen them and I love H McG.
