As with anything, the quality of a product is usually defined by how much it costs. Thanks for going shopping. Was any one brand more reliable than others?
I'm afraid that while the thermometer readout may show temperatures to a tenth of a degree, any infrared thermometer you are likely to buy is going to be--at best--accurate to within 1.5-2% of the value read, so more like +/- 3 degree for a pancake griddle. I know this as I was inspired by this episode to go infrared thermometer shopping, and found the cheaper thermometers were only accurate within 4-6%.

Cool show. The "laser beam" part when the host makes the laser beam noises was funny. Keep up the good work.
