Perhaps one of the most underrated kitchen tools, a meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of grilling, roasting, or deep-frying. Investing in a quality option is worthwhile for more than just ensuring your next lemon chicken or duck a l'orange is safely (and not over-) cooked. It can also be used to measure the temperature of your oven, freezer, and refrigerator if you’re concerned an appliance’s built-in gauge isn’t accurate, or to ensure that you’re actually baking at the desired heat levels.
