Even for great cooks, a meat thermometer is an incredibly useful tool to have in the kitchen. (And if you’re someone who gets nervous about hitting the right temperature of your roast or chicken, all the better.) But not all models are created equal. Meater’s Bluetooth-enabled smart version (which just so happens to be Tom Colicchio’s favorite) is superior and currently on sale for a mere $55 — the lowest price we’ve ever seen it.
Unlike stick thermometers you apply toward the end of the cooking process (sometimes multiple times to get it right, hoping you don’t miss the mark), this one has two built-in sensors that feed information directly to your phone. One reads the internal temperature of the meat, and another measures the ambient temperature of the oven or grill. And you can preprogram it to alert you when your food reaches a specific temperature — no guesswork required.
