If you’re seeking a rustic fire pit for grilling up some grub, this top-rated model from Bali Outdoors is a solid pick. It has a food-friendly design that comes with a removable and FDA-compliant alloy steel grill grate for firing up meats, veggies and more in your backyard. The grill also adjusts up and down, swings left or right and has handles at both ends. (Just make sure you wear oven mitts or protective gloves to adjust it when the flame is roaring.)
"This was fairly easy to assemble and gives off great heat, enough to keep six to seven of us warm with one bundle of wood from the grocery store," said one shopper. "I love the additional burner for grilling. We’ve cooked corn, burgers and steak on this thing, and so far so good."

Yes, this might technically be called a meat thermometer, but don't underestimate its value when it comes to baked goods.

Any professional or home baker knows that KitchenAid is the gold standard when it comes to stand mixers. They also know how expensive these bad boys can be. But this classic tilt-head model is currently down to a reasonable $240 at Amazon, which is just about the cheapest we've ever seen it. If you'd like to give your arms a break the next time you're whipping up a batch of cookie dough, this workhorse will do all the heavy lifting — er, mixing — for you. And since it's built to last, you won't have to splurge on a replacement any time soon.
A quality thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking, and anything that makes mealtime easier is a plus in our book. No professional or home cook should be without one, especially considering it's just $10 (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. Plus, you'll get a lot of use out of it, even beyond carnivorous cuisine.
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 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 shuts down after 10 minutes of inactivity.
It's also a versatile little gadget; you can use it to properly gauge the doneness of breads and cakes, or check the temperature of coffee, milk, cold beverages and even candy.
With tens of thousands of five-star ratings, this is a gadget you can count on.
Said one excited 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 greatest feature is the magnet on the back, which means I keep this right on the door of my fridge."
"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."
One thing this thermometer can't do? Tell the temperature of shell-on eggs. But that's what the NobleEgg is for.
