The Kizen Digital Meat Thermometer will ensure that you'll never have to stress about too-rare or too-dry foods again. Just poke it into your dinner-to-be and you'll have a temperature readout in three seconds. Use it for making medium-rare steaks, properly cooked poultry, or satisfyingly seared salmon. But not only that; you can also use the Kizen to test frying oil, gauge the done-ness of casseroles and desserts and more without the guesswork. And oh yeah: It's waterproof and super easy to clean!

It's not just for hot foods, either: It can read temps from −58 to 572 degrees via its backlit LCD display. (Prefer your temp readings in Celsius? Done, with the press of a button.) There's also a handy chart with popular cooking temperatures displayed right on the unit. And oh yeah: It automatically shuts off after 10 minutes to save battery life.

The Kizen Digital Meat Thermometer has a retractable probe for easy storage in a drawer, but it also has a magnetic back and hanging loop, so you can stick it on your fridge or display it proudly on the side of your grill

"An instant-read thermometer is a must for anyone grilling or cooking meat, poultry or fish," said one happy customer. "This is the secret to not overcooking! The best food thermometer I have ever owned. Would definitely recommend it to my friends or anyone looking to purchase a thermometer. Good value too!"

Another reviewer was impressed with how quickly the readings appeared. "Worked as expected and came with an extra battery. Took seconds to reach a stable temperature."

A thermometer like this is perfect to have on hand for grilling to get those steaks and burgers just right. It's also a must-have for cooking turkeys, rib roasts and more over the holidays.

"This thing rocks!" raved a shopper. "I’ve been cooking without one of these my whole 63 yr old life. My granddaughter wanted one, so I ordered an extra for myself. Las night I was cooking some pork and after the recommended cooking time, checked internal temp. PERFECT. But I know if I hadn’t had the meat thermometer I would have cooked it longer because, undone pork 🤢 I guess I’ll need to apologize for all the dry meat I’ve been serving all my life. Get this!"

PS: The Kizen is not just great for food: Use it to gauge the right temp for milk bottles, bath water, even cocktails!

Add one of these to your cart before this hot deal runs cold.

  • 'We're all Chinese': Ex Taiwan president in China

    STORY: One of the former presidents of Taiwan is making a historic trip to China, becoming the first past or current Taiwanese leader to visit since the 1949 civil war between them.But the trip, which is being billed as an effort to lessen their worsening hostilities, is also being condemned by the political party that rules Taiwan - which is questioning why former President Ma Ying-jeou has decided to visit now.This was the start of Ma's trip in Nanjing, China on Tuesday (March 28). He's talking about shared ethnicity."People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese people, and are both descendants of the Yan and Yellow Emperors. Today, many of the nation-building proposals held dear by the founding father of the country have been realized in Taiwan and the mainland.”Ma was visiting the burial site of Sun Yat-sen, who is celebrated by both sides for overthrowing the last Chinese emperor in 1911. Sun is also considered the founder of the Republic of China, the government that was driven onto Taiwan by Communists during the civil war. Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China to this day.Polls suggest that most modern day Taiwanese people do not identify as Chinese though.Ma's visit is part of an outreach effort by the political party he belongs to, the opposition party called Kuomintang, which traditionally favors close relations with China but strongly denies being pro-Beijing.He is not scheduled to meet with any senior Beijing leaders on the trip.

  • CCTV shows ex-student Nashville shooting suspect

    STORY: Police have released chilling CCTV footage of the suspect in Monday's (March 27) mass shooting at a school in Nashville, Tennessee.The heavily-armed assailant is first seen blasting through glass doors with gunfire,and then roaming the halls of the private Christian school, pointing a semi-automatic rifle.Three children and three adult staff were killed.Police have identified the suspect as Audrey Elizabeth Hale - a resident of the Nashville area who they say used to attend The Covenant School - where the attack happened. Police chief, John Drake, said the suspect identified as transgender but provided no further clarity.He also added that the motive was not immediately known, but the suspect had drawn detailed maps of the school."And, no motive at this point? Anything discovered in the apartment or house?""No, we have a manifesto. We have some writings that we're going over that pertain to this day, the actual incident. We have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place. There's, right now, a theory of that that we may be able to talk about later, but it's not confirmed."Drake later told NBC News that investigators believe the shooting stemmed from "some resentment" the suspect harbored "for having to go to that school" as a younger person.He said the school was singled out for attack but the individual victims were targeted at random.Reacting to the shooting in Washington, President Joe Biden urged lawmakers to do more to tackle gun violence and has called on Congress to pass an assault weapons ban.“... It's ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation. Ripping the very soul of the nation... So I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban.”A Nashville church held memorial service for the victims of the massacre on Monday night.And outside the school people have started to lay flowers, balloons, and teddy bears.Local residents have spoken of their shock at the attack - just the latest in an epidemic of mass gun violence.
