Those are many of the reasons why this product has an amazing potential future in this country too.... it is reasonably priced and can be used in soooo many different ways and arenas....
Every hospital in the country could use about 10 on every floor eh?... make those midnight visits a little more caring....and easy!...
restaurants,caterers,prepared food in deli of the grocery store,health dept inspections-safe and sanitary way to check food temps- that really is *brilliant*.Great point!
I thought about it for food use, particularly grilling and picnics, but the temperature that matters with food is the inside temperature, so the thermofocus might not work so well for that.
Besides, what's wrong with just stirring up the potato salad after it's been sittin out for 13 hours? :P
