Because man cannot live on meat alone ... the Thermapro kitchen thermometer also works on bread, bevs and beyond! (Amazon)(Amazon)
While cooking does fall under the culinary arts umbrella, it's also very much a science. For the best outcomes, you need to consider ingredient ratios, measure with precision and ensure optimal temperatures. The latter is particularly important when it comes to achieving tender meats and perfectly baked cakes — and simply preheating your oven and popping your chicken in for the amount of time specified by the recipe won't cut it. No appliance operates exactly the same as another, and hot and cold spots are common culprits when it comes to over- and undercooking. That's why having a trusty kitchen thermometer to test your food along the way is essential — and the wildly popular ThermoPro Digital Meat Thermometer happens to be over 40% off during Amazon's Presidents' Day sale. (Psst: Check out our roundup of the best Presidents' Day kitchen deals for more savings.)

Yes, this might technically be called a meat thermometer, but don't underestimate its value when it comes to baked goods. The most accurate way to tell if your cake is done baking is by taking its temperature, and this gizmo will have a reading for you in seconds. It's also essential for ensuring your egg whites are at temperature when making meringues.
This hilarious gadget takes the guesswork out of preparing perfect hard-, medium-, and soft-boiled eggs. Just place it in the pot of water with your eggs, and it'll change color to indicate which stage they're at!
A quality thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking, and anything that makes mealtime easier is a plus in our book. No cook should be without one, especially considering the ThermoPro costs just $9 right now (about as low as we've seen it since 2022). Think of the meat — which isn't cheap! — you've had to throw out because it was inedible. With this bad boy, you'll achieve perfect results every time while saving money and reducing waste.
The ThermoPro Digital Meat Thermometer has a 3.9-inch probe with a high-precision sensor for ultra-fast readings — we're talking mere seconds to ensure your steak doesn't turn into rubber while you're waiting to see the temperature. It features a range of –58°F to 572°F (about –50°C to 300°C) and an easy-to-read backlit LCD display.
Keep it on the fridge (it has a built-in magnet) or use the attached hook to hang it up. And don't worry about draining the battery (it takes one AAA — included!); the thermometer automatically turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
You can also use it to properly gauge the doneness of breads and cakes, or check the temperature of coffee, milk, cold beverages and even candy.
The Thermapro's army of five-star ratings — over 103,000 — tells us this is a gadget you can count on.
Said one five-star fan: "Clever: I like the hideaway feature of the temperature probe. It didn't need a cover, and I cannot lose the cover. Quick: The probe pops out quickly and reads temps from any angle. Now I don't have to put my hand near the heat. Dangerous: I feel like a ninja getting ready for battle when I pop the probe out from its secret hiding spot. Look out, ya'll, the world is not big enough for this warrior."
"Professional chef here," wrote another satisfied shopper. "Everything like a cake or bread could be tested, and you can cook with confidence and precision. Great design and no fuss. Seems like it will last as well ... Exactly what I was looking for."
"I have been using this for a while now," shared a third cook. "The readings match two different thermometers brought over by friends and have made my cooking much more accurate. I thought I'd use it primarily for roasts and steaks, but I now use it to test doneness on sourdough loaves, checking water temperature for yeast starter and even double-checking room temperature in various areas of the house to check my home thermostat."
"The only thing I wish was that it had a way to clip onto the side of the pan instead of having to hold it with one hand while trying to stir with the other," wrote a generally pleased reviewer.
"Love the backlit screen and the handy temperature chart on the back," said a final fan. "The only complaint I have is they have the pork temp way too done for my liking."
