Hi Lorraine,

I believe it's the same thermometer.  Here is  the language from the NFB Independence Market catalog.

THERMOMETER--TALKING, ALL PURPOSE (FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS): 
This digital talking thermometer can be used for cooking, candy making, bath water, gardening, and hobbies. It measures temperatures ranging from -58 to 572 degrees Fahrenheit (-50 to 300 degrees Celsius) with a variance of +/- 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (+/- 1 degree Celsius) over most of its range. The probe is 4.9 inches long and the handle/readout area measures 4.4 x 2 x 1.2 inches. It features an LCD screen, a power/talk button with automatic shut-off after ten minutes, a retention loop for hanging, and a probe cover with hanging clip. Uses two AAA batteries (included). AIK39T $35.00 + shipping and handling

Please share this information with the list.

Ellen, the NFB sells this too, right? The ad below says, "The size is small and convenient for measuring: 2 x 4.4 x 1.2 Inches not including probe.  Thermometer measures from - 50 to + 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit runs on a 1.5 volt battery. Perhaps best of all is the price:  $39.95 plus shipping."

New Product Announcement
Talking Cooking Thermometer 

For years, I have wanted a decent cooking thermometer.  And trust me, I've tried to find one!  This is a truly invaluable tool for measuring the internal temperature of roasting meats, for knowing when you are scalding but not boiling milk, for making candy, and so many other simple to complex tasks in the kitchen.  With a good cooking thermometer in your hands, it takes so much of the guesswork out of cooking.

One time, I was so desperate to have this invaluable tool that I got talked into buying a unit with metal dots, marking degrees around the dial.  Out of the oven, this product looked pretty slick.  The dots were nicely raised, and the probe could be inserted into a turkey or whatever you were cooking, and it was sharp and very functional.  But, the metal dial also got very hot in the oven and was impossible to read.

Another experiment wound me up in even more trouble.  This thermometer was supposed to talk and was advertised as "oven safe".  They must have meant "cold oven safe" though because the plastic probe melted and destroyed a pie in the process.  For several years, I gave up on finding a viable product.

Finally, there is a fantastic cooking thermometer on the market that is sure to please any novice or experienced cook out there whether used in the oven or on the stove top.  Not only that, it's pretty inexpensive, too.  You don't need to leave it in the oven as it gives you an accurate temperature reading in 6 seconds flat!  Just insert the probe in whatever you want to measure, push an easy-to-see and feel button, and wait a few seconds for the reading.

Truly, this is the queen of talking cooking thermometers.  It's good for both home and industrial use so you know it is going to be sturdy and safe.
Use it to measure temperatures in solid food or liquids.  The voice is clear and quite audible, and the screen presents the reading in large numbers you can easily see.

The size is small and convenient for measuring: 2 x 4.4 x 1.2 Inches not including probe.  Thermometer measures from - 50 to + 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit runs on a 1.5 volt battery. 
Perhaps best of all is the price:  $39.95 plus shipping.  You could easily pay this much for an accurate digital thermometer that doesn't talk.

The talking cooking thermometer is the Bay Area Digital featured product for July and August, 2011.  We showed this at the ACB convention in Reno and sold them all well before the end of the week.  We are now taking orders for August delivery.  Call today to place yours.  Within a few days, this item will also be available through our website.  But, I didn't want to wait for that to happen to begin offering you such a great find.  Our second summer supply is on order, so don't delay before our stock is depleted. 

Order today via phone by calling (888) 881-1998.  Or visit our website on or after July 22 to place your order.
