My friends David and Fred had me over for dinner last night. When David, paring knife in hand, asked me to come outside to help him check to see if the chicken was done, I knew I had the perfect host(ess) gift for them:  The Maverick ET-7 RediChek Remote Cooking Thermometer. This BBQ essential has a wireless remote transmitter attached to its dual temperature probes, and a LCD wireless receiver that works up to 100 feet away.  Put the probe(s) in the meat, close the BBQ cover over the heat-resistant probe wire, and come back in the house for cocktails with your guests.  The receiver displays the updated temperatures, and beeps when the meat reaches its target temperature.  Extra bonus:  The receiver is pre-programmed with degree of doneness (rare to well done) for six different kinds of meat. Order it for $38.99 from Amazon.com.
