Ohh it’s my time to two up someone on the Internet. I broke mine playing hide and seek as a child, managed to trip over and squash it under my foot. Then again getting it caught on the edge of a gym floor mat. Then again stepping over my hockey bag. Still the only bone I’ve ever broken.

I joke that if it happens one more time I’ll just have the damn thing lopped off.

Agreed. Two things that worked for me: -open your mouth and let excess water run out as easily as possible. It feels dorky but the stream is way more effective if it doesn’t have to cut through water -just do a little bit and come back to it the next day, there’s no need to start with a deep clean

So like the first sentence

Which was what I was going at. I sort of assumed ‘chicken at 74’ was enough of a pointer :)

Where in the chicken I jam the thermometer makes several degrees difference. If you truly require that level of granularity whilst grilling, I’d wager reading a decimal figure isn’t the end of the world. Us normies can continue to bring chicken to 74 and call it a day

3 degrees celcius is easily noticeable too so that’s a bit of a moot point. If anything, 1 degree celcius is much harder to discern and therefore having an even more granular scale is unnecessary.
