Maverick digital Candy thermometer Giveaway

I have patience in some areas of my life.  In one of my pre-cupcake jobs, I trained computer neophytes, they walk by these fundamental principles how the arrow keys to navigate in a document and when double-clicking vs. right click want to use (to make sure to clarify that right click does not mean that the word "click" write in Notepad).  These days, I can sing Itsy-bitsy Spider to my toddler and still enjoy its wide mouthed grin on the twentieth extradition.  However, when it comes to standing by a stove to go up on a candy thermometer, I have zero patience.  I tend to walk away and just in time to see my caramel/candy/something in my pot inedible and burnt come back.  I have a timer that will beep to tell me when my cupcakes were made, but I had never seen a candy thermometer with any kind of warning function always set.

I asked my tweeps if anyone had heard of a candy thermometer that beeps when it reaches the right temperature.  Gesine Bullock-Prado, author of cakes of a closet Master Baker: one woman Sweet journey of unfortunate Hollywood Executive to Bakerhappy country, responded immediately to tell me aboutthe Maverick!  This was the thermometer of my dreams (if I was dreaming of thermometers).

I left the people at Maverick an email letting them know that I couldn't wait to get their product to view and share with my readers.  They were game and sent me a candy thermometer to immediately (I love being a cupcake blogger!).  I put the Maverick to test on my Shirley Temple lollies.  The lollipop recipe warned not to walk away from the pan.  Yet, I encourage the Maverick set to the setting hard crack and wandered off to do something else.  I trusted my new best friend Maverick (not that sounds like a cool boy's name-give me credit if you your son that the name) completely and it didn't let me down.  It beeped in exactly 300 F and my lollipops were perfect on the first try.
