What is the most reliable thermometer that won't break the bank?

Anna, I think the regular cheap restaurant-style "instant read" thermometers--
the kind with the sleeve that fits your pocket like a pen--are best because they can be adjusted. Just put them in a cup of crushed ice and water and turn the dial to 32*.
Eventually they get very slow, hardly "instant," but they're cheap to replace.
By the way, if your husband is sneaking tastes of your pork it is probably perfect.

I'd bet they do. Grabbed my last one at Sur la Table.
I have one from Oxo. Large, readable screen. One button to convert to
F to C. I've been very happy with it. For just under $20, I consider it a good value.
