Thanks Cheryl,
Talking High Temperature Cooking Thermometer
on sale now for only $36.99 and we're shipping free for the month of August!
www.atozadaptiveaidz.com
This talking thermometer Probe measures temperatures from -58 to 572 degrees
Fahrenheit. You can use this thermometer for Baking, cooking, Candy and many
other uses. Insert this easy to use and hold thermometer's stainless tip
probe into liquids, semi-solids or use it for air temperatures. Readings are
updated on the digital display and by pressing the talk button the current
temperature is spoken in a clear female voice. By pressing the button again,
you can track the changing temperatures. An eyelet loop on the case allows
you to hang it in a handy place. Also includes automatic shut-off after 3
minutes of non-use. It measures ten inches long and requires a CR2032 cell
battery that is included.
