That's right-yet another example of our culture's insane productivity fetish. Why stand around watching meat cook? How boring! Stick this into your meat, identify what kind of meat it is, request how well done you want it and walk away. It will let you know when it's done-yet another machine whose command must be obeyed (see June 9 Five Second Stories skin lotion ad).
The marketing pushes the idea that since you're no longer chained to the grill during cook time, now you can spend your time more productively like... with your family. Dream on. In reality, it allows the grillmaster to sit nearby, drinking beer while scrolling through his iPhone or playing a violent game. Standing around is such a drag.
The Meater-yep, they're clever cleavers with this pun. $80 on Amazon.
