Just because you’re cooking outside doesn’t mean that food safety goes out the window. And if you’re looking to ensure that everything on your grill comes out just right, you’ll want to grab this highly-rated digital meat thermometer from Alpha Grillers for under $16.
It’s a straightforward model that promises a 2 to 3 second response time and can be used when grilling, frying, roasting, smoking or air frying. Reviewers say it’s “perfect for summer,” an “essential tool” for grilling and is “fabulous for cooking everyone’s burger or steak to perfection!” But the most compelling endorsement comes from Joshua White, executive chef at Turk’s Inn in Brooklyn, New York, who recommended this exact model when asked about meat thermometers for grilling.
“It has a large display that is easy to read and is very accurate within seconds,” White previously told HuffPost. “It has a thin probe that is easy to get into the center of the meat for the most accurate temperature. It also folds up, so it’s easy to store and carry.”
One reviewer who “spent a literal lifetime frustrated with meat thermometers” claims this budget-friendly tool is refreshingly simple, while still being high-quality at a low price.”
