The dad with a pizza oven or a cast iron plate who is guessing when the surface is hot enough

What it is

Non-contact infrared surface thermometer with laser aiming, range -42C to 550C, illuminated LCD, readings from up to 1.5m.

Why we picked it

Meat thermometers tell him about the food; this tells him about the cooking surface, which is what determines whether a steak sears or grey-steams. It is also the only sane way to check a pizza stone, where the difference between 350C and 450C is the whole result.

One reading so far. We record every change from here, so a sale price later in the year can be measured against this one rather than against whatever a retailer says it used to cost. Why that matters.
