Touch Screen Thermometer + Timer

There's a particular relief in pulling a roast at exactly the right moment instead of guessing and hoping. With the probe in the meat and the alert set, you're free to handle everything else while it cooks.

The details

This combines a leave-in cooking thermometer and a kitchen timer in one unit. A stainless steel probe on a braided steel cord stays in the food while it roasts, with the extra-large backlit display sitting safely outside the oven. Touch-sensitive controls mean there are no buttons to gum up, just a smooth surface you wipe clean.

Choose a doneness from the built-in library for beef, pork, chicken, turkey, veal, lamb, hamburger, and fish, or set your own custom target. When it hits temperature, it tells you. The timer counts up or down and recalls your last setting with a single press.

Why we love it

• Leave-in probe means no opening the oven to check, so heat stays where it belongs
• Preset temperatures for nine common foods take the guesswork out of doneness
• Custom alerts for the recipes that want something specific
• Backlit display reads clearly in a dim kitchen or at the grill
• Touch controls wipe clean with none of the crevices buttons collect
• Magnet and kickstand let it live on the oven door or the counter

Use it for

Nailing a holiday turkey, holding a steak at the exact edge of medium-rare, low-and-slow grilling where you'd rather not lift the lid, or just running a reliable timer while dinner comes together.
