What is it?

This easy-to-use thermometer ensures that your food reaches the correct temperature using precise measurements and a clear display, eliminating the guesswork when it comes to figuring out whether your food has fully cooked through.

It features an LCD screen that provides accurate temperature readings within just two to three seconds. You can choose between temperature display in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, and don't have to worry about draining the battery since this thermometer automatically shuts off after 10 minutes of inactivity.

As an added bonus, it also features a convenient design that can be hooked for easy storage — and easy access on the fridge or grill.

Why use a meat thermometer?

If you're inexperienced in the kitchen or are just looking to take your cooking to the next level, a meat thermometer is worth adding to your kitchen this holiday season. Not only are they a simple way to guarantee that your food is cooked to proper health and safety guidelines, they can also save you money by ensuring that your meat is never under- or overcooked.

Ideal for poultry, beef, or pork, a meat thermometer is a simple and affordable way to quickly tell when your food is done cooking.

With a clear, easy to read display, it's an ideal choice for grilling — reviewers have noted that it's "very accurate" and "sensitive to temperature."

"Great for measuring middle of steaks," shared one reviewer.
