I saw the Pyrex one too recently, and thought about giving it a try.
Thanks for the heads up. (I'll pass)

I can still get the finnish ones, mine is probably close to 4-5 yearsold
and still good. It has been in daily use roughly 6 months of the year.
I don't know if I could get the probe replacements separately.
