Does this need tevila?
Lightning Deal: Digital Meat Thermometer For $3.60 From Amazon - DansDeals.com - https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/amazon/lightning-deal-digital-meat-thermometer-for-3-60-from-amazon/

Does not require tevilah at all according to most opinions.

(Btw this belongs in the tevilas kelim thread.

Thanks!

Forgot about that one.

It doesn’t really matter if there is wheat flour in there. That alone can’t decide the bracha it depends on the percentage of the wheat flour in there. (From what I remember learning think it was about the la-hit specifically that the amount of wheat flour in there changes very often) additionally there is a Shaila regarding the way the flour is used since it isn’t really mixed with water to form a traditional sort of dough mixture rather mixed into the chocolate through some other process (has hafrashas challah ramifications as well…) and lastly it does contain rice flour so depending if you make a mezonos on rice that could possibly have a affect on what bracha to make….

I presume that these chocolate bars are created by first baking a hollow wafer and then filling/infusing/covering it with chocolate. (that's how you get a crunchy wafer in the middle ). (If you want to correct me with yedia berura with the exact process, beseder, but until then I think that it is a fair presumption based on the full ingredient list - Nogat filling, chocolate covering, wafer made from wheat and rice flour mixed with water, sugar, milk powder, cocoa powder etc... i.e. a chocolate flavored wafer)
So you have a sweet wafer, rov flour is wheat, that then gets covered and filled....
A. Why would the bracha on said wafer not be Mezonos?
B. why would covering/filling it change the bracha?

Looked it up.
 I was referring to what I saw in this Sefer, take a look.

Why do many people as chazzan end the paragraph after שמע by saying לְדֹר וָדֹר הוּא קַיָּם וּשְׁמוֹ קַיָּם וְכִסְאוֹ נָכוֹן וּמַלְכוּתוֹ וֶאֱמוּנָתוֹ לָעַד קַיָּֽמֶת
and continue quietly through עַל־הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְעַל־הָאַחֲרוֹנִים and then end that paragraph out loud?
If that is the correct paragraph ending, why is it set up differently in the siddur?

Artscroll Ashkenaz siddur:

Artscroll Ashkenaz siddur:

Yes, that is the question. They say out loud from לדר ודר until לעד קימת and then the rest of the paragraph quietly. That seems to mean that the paragraph ends at לעד קימת. So why does the siddur have the paragraph continue until זרע ישראל עבדיך?

Don't ask on the siddur, ask those people why they do it. Personally I've never heard that.

What makes you think the bracha is split into paragraphs?

[BCL]

Don't ask on the siddur, ask those people why they do it. Personally I've never heard that.

What have you heard the chazzan say? Does he start from לדור ודור הוא קים and say out loud until זרע ישראל עבדיך?

What makes you think the bracha is split into paragraphs?

Most siddurim have it split into paragraphs. And the chazzan does end off the "paragraphs" and not just at the end of the bracha.

[EliJelly]

Nope, just פּוֹדֵֽנוּ וּמַצִּילֵֽנוּ מֵעוֹלָם הוּא שְׁמֶֽךָ וְאֵין לָֽנוּ עוֹד אֱלֹהִים זוּלָתֶֽךָ סֶֽלָה

Straight through from אמת?
so according to that way, why is there a new paragraph at על הראשונים?
And that seems different than the siddur pic above that has the four dotted diamond, indicating chazzan, by לדור ודור הוא קים.

No, just those words.

Good question. IDK

No idea what's the purpose of the diamond dots, but why do you assume it's code indications for the chazzan?

[aygart]

A printer put out there to make it easier to follow.

[chessman1]

Because that's the symbol that Artscroll uses to indicate where the chazzan should start. It's standard across their siddurim.

An analog meat thermometer on yom tov should be permitted like MB 504:22, right?
It's def pretty standard at this point to use a meat thermometer



(Modern analog meat thermometers dont use mercury/liquid)

I came out that it was fine but didn't remember the sources. The one I was going to use does not have numbers but rather sections for rare, medium, well but my recollection is that it didn't depend on that. I don't think it is totally clear that temperature is an issue in the first place.

[BCL]

This was my assumption.
However, I saw תוס' ד"ה והטוב in :ברכות מו and תוס' ד"ה חוץ in :פסחים קד are bothered by the paragraph break in the first ברכה after הפטרה and needed an explanation. So I was wondering that perhaps there is a better explanation for the paragraph break here as well.
