With another July 4th weekend around the corner, here’s the perfect gadget for you grillers - a quick reading temperature probe. Within seconds of sticking this temp fork into your meat, be it fish, beef, lamb, pork or poultry, you’ll know whether it has reached the right temperature.
The fork has been around for awhile but if you are really into barbecuing. Not just grilling. I would recommend a remote thermometer.
Whats the difference? The term "grilling" refers to cooking food over a direct flame or other high-heat source. BBQ, on the other hand, has three distinct differences. One main difference between grilling and BBQ is the heat source. BBQ uses indirect heat or low-level heat to cook foods - usually meats.
With grilling, it takes somewhere around 15 minutes to cook a steak and a bit longer for chops. Authentic BBQ takes all day, or even several days, to fully cook. This is due, in part, because of the low-level, indirect heat needed to cook the meat so that it becomes tender. But longer cooking times also allow the flavor to fully develop, helped along by the third important difference between grilling and BBQ.
True BBQ will have a thick, tangy, mouthwatering taste that comes from adding wood smoke during cooking. No matter how many fancy gadgets and flavorings you add, you can't get the same taste from grilling. You might get a hint of smoky BBQ flavor, but it's just not the same. Food has to cook several hours to fully absorb the wood smoke, and you only get that from BBQ.
That being said the Fork would be OK for grilling, but with true BBQ, I would recommend a remote thermometer like this one.
