This site is addictive and will make you become a little anal in regards to how far you'll go for appeasement.Broke down and got an IR just to check my two stovetop thermometers,one a Rutland about 25$ the other a cheapo Homesaver. Checked them both at several times during the burn cycle the Rutland is off 100 degrees low side ,while the Homesaver is dead on both are placed in the required spot on the stovetop thought i'd share this.
