Thermometer design that ensures its function. One might be tempted to buy an electronic digital thermometer with case on one side and the other probe. But I use induction heating has my full membership. Because induction is well driver has no thermal inertia, the energy concentrated in the heated container and hardly generate heat around it. By cons induction and electronic thermometers do not mix! This type thermometer works perfectly, with induction. It would lack a rod with clip to attach it to the pan. It also lacks a holster, a closed tube for storage. Finally the cap ring to access the battery and attach the thermometer will pop up over nothing.
