The dad who cooks a roast on the barbecue for family lunches and keeps lifting the hood to check on it
What it is
Wireless meat thermometer with a stainless steel probe and a 200-foot transmitter range. Includes two AAA batteries and a one-year warranty.
Why we picked it
It untethers him from the barbecue: the transmitter means he can put the roast on and go back to his guests instead of standing over the lid opening it every ten minutes, which is what actually ruins slow-cooked meat. At under $50 it is the cheapest fix for the single most common barbecue mistake.
