MacVoices #1141 – Macworld 2011 – iGrill Lets You Keep Track of Your Dinner’s Progress At A Distance

A booth that drew lots of attention at Macworld 2011 was iGrill. Chris Allen tells us why their Bluetooth meat thermometer makes more sense than one would think at first glance. With the companion iOS app, you can keep track of your meat’s doneness without having to actually be there. Chris reviews the features and we resist the urge to make the same tired jokes he heard all show long.
