If you’ve never used an instant-read thermometer, it’s a total game-changer in the kitchen. No more guessing that your casserole is reheated to a safe temperature. No more pretending you know how to do “the finger test” to check the doneness of your meat. And if you aren’t over your pandemic sourdough obsession yet, you can even use this thermometer to check if your bread is done without cutting into a loaf (and destroying it if it’s not ready!).

With this bad boy, you just stick the probe in the meat and instantly learn the temperature (it’s in the name!). It can read temps from −58 to 572 degrees on its backlit LCD display — and it switches seamlessly from Fahrenheit to Celsius with the touch of a button. It turns on by opening it and it shuts off when you fold it into a compact package. If you're afraid of misplacing it, just stick it on the fridge with its built-in magnet.

Say goodbye to undercooked chicken and dried out meat.

Nearly 22,000 Amazon shoppers have already given this gadget a perfect five-star rating — that proves a thermometer doesn’t need to be expensive to get the job done.

Some cooks love that this thermometer is waterproof. “It can still be used normally after falling into the 90-degree soup,” one chef reported.

Others like the convenience of its magnet and the folding function. “The unit turns on when the probe is extended and shuts off immediately when it is folded and snapped back into its self-storage. Mine is magnetic - it can be adhered to the (cool) side of the grill or stove as needed while not in use,” an enthusiastic cook shared.

“We could never find a thermometer in my house!” wrote an elated cook. “We've always had one, can't get everyone to put it in the same place twice! With the magnet, we just stick it on the hood and BAM! We know where it is. It seems like a little thing, but the little things count too. It turns on easy, quick read, food is cooked and no one has suffered food poisoning, so it must be accurate.”

But most importantly, home cooks really appreciate how accurate this thermometer is.

“I had one of those old school ones that never seemed like it was working right,” shared a contented cook. “I threw it out and went without a meat thermometer for a long time. After using this, I don't have to worry if I'm eating undercooked meat, and I won't accidentally overcook it, just to be on the safe side. My last chicken dish was cooked perfectly!”

“I bought this for my husband for Christmas so he doesn't steal my thermometer any more,” reported a generous wife. “He said he loves it and he uses it all the time. He is notorious for either overcooking or undercooking meat. Ever since he started using this thermometer we have been enjoying his meals 100% more. He said it is easier to use, because it is easy to read. Everyone in the house is happy he is using this product and we are elated we don't have to worry about under/over cooked food.”
