You Can't Beat a Meat Thermometernew
There's just no way to describe the usefulness of a meat thermometer without sounding clinical, as in "use this essential kitchen tool properly, and you won’t end up in the clinic under the influence of the salmonella and e. coli that can result from undercooked meat."

Formality -- A Necessary Evilnew
