An instant-read thermometer with a 4.3-inch food-grade stainless probe that reads temperature in about a second with roughly one degree of accuracy, so you stop slicing into steak to check it. The probe auto-rotates 180 degrees and the backlit display stays readable in low light or at a dim grill, while motion sensing wakes it when you open the probe and sleeps it when you close it. It is IP65 waterproof for rinsing under the tap, reads from minus 58 to 572 degrees F, and recalibrates in ice water if readings drift. A cheap, proven upgrade for grilling, roasting, frying, and baking.
