    Infrared non contact thermometers

    I am interested in purchasing one of these thermometers. Prices seem to vary from $50 to way over $300. Some come with a probe for internal temps, others without. Upper range appears to be from 250 to over 700 degrees. My main use would be monitoring the temperature of a cooking surface...
