Humor Is It Safe to Cook a Thermometer with Your Chicken?

[pampchefsarah]

I'm making beer chicken for dinner, and used my Pocket Thermometer to see if the chicken is done. Had a little longer to go, so I left it in the oven.

When I went back to check again, I couldn't find my thermometer. Hmm, turns out the 'it' I left in the oven was not just the chicken!

The glass is completely bubbled (bonus for PC quality, it didn't shatter), so add that to my KE order!

I don't think it's glass. My aunt had the same problem, it actually tells you to not leave it in the oven.

Gee, thanks! That's why it was a 'dumb' moment.

I'm sure you're right about it not being glass - which they probably did just for people like me.

That's okay, I did the same thing with my "first" one.
