Isn't that the way. The new thermometer in my avatar reads within about 15 degrees all the way up to 700. After that, it just goes stupid. I like to try and keep my stove top under 775 or so. Since this thing basically siezes up at temps above 700, I moved it to a place that runs about 100 degrees cooler on my stove top and just tell the wife to keep it out of the red zone.
