Chefs Remote Thermometer

Filed under: Gadgets

The Chefs Remote Thermometer works in much the same way as a baby monitor, allowing you to keep track of what is happening in another room without having to be there. The transmitter base has a meat thermometer attached to it. The receiver has a range of 100-ft. and receives remote temperature updates from the thermometer. An audible alert lets you know when your meat reaches the appropriated level of doneness, with preset levels from rare to well done and custom levels that you can set yourself. This frees up the chef to work on the rest of the meal or watch the big game on TV while the main course is cooking without having to get up and check on it. The thermometer works both indoors and outdoors. Price: $49.95.

Celebrities are putting their artistic skill to good use for charity. They are decorating jockey silks - the brightly colored shirts and caps worn by jockeys during horse races - that are being auctioned online to raise money for the Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, England. The silks will be displayed to the public at the World Museum Liverpool until April 30th, as the winners of the auction are not to be announced until May 12th.

Richard Branson and Yoko Ono, contributing one of John Lennon's designs, are among the participating celebs. The silk illustrated here was designed by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey. The rest of the silks can be viewed online, where bids will also be taken.
