An ancillary device for food-preparation, which provides a combination implement which both provides a a food-handler device and a probe for determining the interior temperature of the food being handled. The device in a desired form resembles a pair of tongs, and they not only carry a temperature-sensing probe and visual signal or gauge, they carry a structure which positions the probe midway of whatever is the span of opening of the food-gripping jaws of the tongs; and since the tongs' jaws, as they engage upon the food article, automatically sense the overall thickness of the food article, their positioning of the temperature-sensing probe midway of the span of the jaws' opening automatically achieves a sensing of the food article's temperature at the midpoint of its thickness, thus giving better and more reliable information as to the thoroughness of the cooking procedure. Optional spatula jaws are also provided.
