tim,
both American Foundation for the blind and Science products used to make
such a device, although it wasn't a fork. Science products may still do so.
Ann Morris Enterprises has a very viable solution in the form of an adapted
tactile thermometer. This is a dial with a steel probe you incert into the
meat. The glass has been removed from the dial and pop rivets inserted
every 20 degrees between 120 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
I use one all the time and it works fine. It is not left in the meat, you
insert it when you want a reading and it stabilizes within 20 seconds or so.
The thermometer does not get hot.
It costs only $about 12.00. .
Strongly reccommended by a blind cook and rehab engineer.
You can easilly read it to 10 degrees and 5 degrees is a pretty good guess.
Despite what anyone may say, that's close enough for any meat
dish I can think of
They have a similarly adapted candy thermometer also but I havn't tried it.
Try it, you'll like it.
Everything doesn't have to talk.
