The No. 1 best-selling Meater Plus Wireless Meat Thermometer takes all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting, and baking by letting it know both the internal and external temperatures of the food it’s preparing. This handy tool usually costs $100, but now you can pick it up from Amazon for just $80 — a small price to pay when expensive steaks are at stake!

How does the Meater Plus differ from other meat thermometers? As mentioned, it reads the internal temperature of whatever Dad is cooking, as well as the external temperature to make sure the heat source is at the right level. Sure, there are some people who rely on the old finger test to let them know when their meat is done, but to be truly accurate, using temperature as a benchmark is the only guess.

What makes this wireless thermometer so useful is the fact that it’s extremely hands-off, allowing it to do other prep work while the meat is cooking, rather than babysitting. To use, he’ll need to make sure the included AAA battery is in it and link the thermometer to his phone via the Meater app. (Depending on how tech savvy he is, you may need help with this part!) Once he’s placed it in the meat, he can read the temperature on the app to see how close it is to the target temperature for what he’s cooking. cooking is . And if he needs to leave, it sends him alerts during the cooking process – as long as he stays within 50 metres!

The colorful app interface is super easy to use: just let Dad know what he’s cooking and how cooked he wants it to be, and he’ll take care of the rest. He can see the internal temperature, target temperature and ambient temperature at the top, along with a countdown to let him know how much cooking time is left. Goodbye, rubbery chicken!

Another cool feature? It can read outside temperatures as high as 527 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, it gets up to 24 hours of use on a single charge, and the included wooden charger is rather aesthetically pleasing. If he hates cleaning up after a meal (not all of us do!), this waterproof thermometer is dishwasher safe to save him some time, and the magnetic back means he can store it on the fridge for easy access between charges.

Over 26,000 Amazon reviewers gave the Meater Plus their five-star seal of approval, so you know it’s doing something right!

“[I] got this for my husband for Father’s Day,” one thoughtful donor shared. “It cooks meat perfectly every time! Super easy to use… [the] biggest problem was trusting that it was right. Sometimes it seems like it can’t possibly be cooked enough, but the meat is medium rare every time. LOVE this. No guesswork. It is very reliable on the grill, in the oven or in an iron skillet.”

“No more mis-steaks,” wrote one “punn-y” buyer. “Love the versatility of the probe. I can now check the internal temperature of my steak to make sure it is medium rare. No more under or overcooked steaks… I can literally leave it alone “while I’m doing other things around the house. It tells me when it’s almost at the right temperature and when to take it out.”

“I’m not a super experienced cook, and for some reason meat (steak, fish, chops, etc.) has always scared me,” explains one impressed customer. “It’s either overcooked and dry or undercooked and dangerously pink. I’ve now made steak and salmon which both turned out to be cooked to perfection… The app itself is super easy to use and follow. [It] even takes rest time into account if needed for your type of dish. Buy now, you won’t regret it!”

It’s ‘rare’ when something so small makes such a huge difference!
