This handy tool has multiple uses, including in the kitiichen!  Monitor the heat of your grill, saute pans and griddles and oven. Matthew uses this very same thermometer in his very popular cooking classes in Virginia Beach to monitor the temperature of his salt blocks and non-stick pans while cooking.
 
*It is very important to keep your Teflon non-stick pans and griddles at a temperature below 500 degrees, otherwise toxins will be released in your foods.
