Since thermometers are being recommended and we've seen the Thermapen (which goes for around £50 here) and that Oregon Scientific one (which I imagine is even more), for those who don't want to spend that much there's this:

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20103016



It's a timer and thermometer with a long wire so it can go in the oven with the roast. You can set the alarm to go off when it reaches a given temperature, too. Each time, since I've got it, I've wanted to test the disparity between recommended cooking times and that required to reach the necessary temperature. So I've stuck it in the meat and also set the timer on my oven - the thermometer has shown that these times are BS and, without this thermometer, would have resulted in tough and dry pieces of poo poo.

So there it is, wired thermometer with alarm for £7.

It had some hilarious brand name like Cleverest Son's Wife or such.

My parents have several knives by this brand! My mother got them because of the name. My father often recommends people get choppers made in Kong Moon (now Jiangmen, I think), so I'll leave that out there for anyone who's looking to get one.
