@OMG! Ponies!: I love the simplicity of the Weber, plus the price point is there so it can be replaced every time you move (which for me is a big deal).
I've been going through a eating my steaks raw phase right now though so mine hasn't seen much use this summer. #barbecue
@rocketbear79: Are we talking "carpaccio" raw? Or "grabbing a hunk off the steer and tearing chunks off with your incisors" raw? Because if it's the latter... (loads silver bullets just in case)

@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: For the moment carpaccio (mmm carpaccio) raw, but that could be because there aren't many steer in FL. But my job IS moving me to CO soon... #barbecue
To all morons that think sticking a hole in meat affects anything.. please try this at home. Stab you hand with a compass, then put it over a 400 degree grill. Notice the blood stops? It's called "searing"... also known as cauterizing. That is what happens to flesh when cooked. So stabbing a hole or even making a small incision in your meat will immediately sear before it looses any substantial juices. Plus the holes are usually on top.. so the juice doesn't go anywhere.
Now, to the product at hand.. so someone took the all-too-popular fork thermometer and put it in tongs and its worth mentioning on gizmodo? Is the tech world that dry?
@DssTrainer: Try this at home. Take two pieces of meat, cook them nicely on the grill without poking holes in either. Remove both from the grill, allow one to rest 5 min. before slicing, slice the other immediately. See the problem?

You are not cauterizing the meat, because it's not *bleeding* you are worried about. Moron.
Looks like it has some kind of probe in the tong that punctures the meat. This leads me to thinking this is a bad idea for anyone serious about their food. First, sticking holes in cooking meat is generally a bad idea. Juice tends to leak out, giving you a dry cooked lump. Second, it looks like hell to clean. Third, where the probe ends up inside your grilled cut is anyone's guess--could be dead center, could just be below the surface.

I love technology. But old school here may just work better. Get a pair of tongs and learn how long it takes. The side benefit is that you can cook a bunch of steaks to perfect your technique.
Is this a North or South Korean game because there's probably a big difference. I'm guessing in the North Korean game these are rectangular medium-well pieces of dog meat and monkey penis.
@Purple Monkey Dishwasher: Just remember, NOTHING comes in or out of North Korea. Korean culture is basically S. Korean culture.
And in N. Korea, this would be more like sticks and grass. Their food situation is so dire that their gov't distributed official information on edible grasses and barks that can be used to stretch meals.
@ludwigk: i tell people that all the time, shit in the north stays in the north.
as a Korean-American (hell, I was born here, so I'm technically just "American"), I have been asked countless times "is your family from North or South Korea?"
If we were from the North, we'd either be eating bark off trees right now or hiding in China. I don't ask someone from North Carolina if they are different from the people in South Carolina. Or North/South Dakota. Or Northern/Southern Cali. Well, Northern vs Southern Cali might be a stretch to call them the same... :-P jk
@pekosROB and M. Timothy Mounce: Okay, but to give them some credit - the "where is your family from" question can mean lots of things. For example, my family is "from" Appalachia, Wales, The Netherlands, although nobody has lived in any of those places in a few generations.
I know plenty of Korean Americans that have family stuck in North Korea. Not their parents of course, but grandparents, aunts, uncles, sure. And there are slight variations in culture and cuisine that come from those roots. And the current crisis impacts them (usually via their parents) slightly differently.
And even more South Koreans struggle with the same problem. Hell Hyundai's founder and the company have a long history of family ties and economic investment in North Korea.
So sure, the newest cell phone technology isn't going to come from North Korea (or any technology...of any kind), but to act like the links between North Korea and the South or the diaspora are long broken just isn't accurate.

I like quirky pomo art as much as the next guy but I prefer the simple curves and distilled essence of the classic Weber kettle. #barbecue
