I’ve had some great food temperature thermometers for cooking in the past and none of them were this great.  Oxo’s Chef’s Digital instant read thermometer is really cool and has helped so much with knowing when the food is at the right temperature.  The thermometer has a pivoting head with LCD screen that has easy to read numbers and a probe with a thin tip for accurate readings.  First thing I tested this out on were on some grilled steaks and I was amazed at how instant this thing read.  The probe cover has conversions for Fahrenheit to Celsius for quick referencing which was helpful in determining accurate readings.  The thermometer is definitely great value for your money and would be great for a shower gift and perfect to have handy for the holidays or even for professional use.  The probe is stainless steel and easy to clean and stores snug in the included sleeve.  Highly Recommended
