Our Favorite Smart Grill Thermometer is Finally on Sale
While you might think you still have plenty of time to find the perfect Father's Day gift, we know better than that. Look, we're all suckers for last-minute gift shopping, and this year is no different. At the very least all we can do if offer up a solution: something cool your dad will want. And even better, something on sale.
Behold, the Meater Plus, our favorite smart grill thermometer, which is currently 30 percent off on Amazon right now. It's the perfect present for a dad who likes to cook, especially now that we're full steam ahead on grilling season.
While there are plenty of thermometers that claim to be the smartest out there, the Meater Plus is the real deal. This Bluetooth model tracks your meat's temperature in real time and sends the data directly to your phone, so you don't have to stress about taking a beat to mix up another cocktail while your food's on the grill.
According to associate commerce editor Bryn Gelbart, the Meater has "taken a simple old tool and made it better without overcomplicating it."
Although veteran grillers likely have an idea of what temps they might be aiming for, this device removes all of the guesswork by allowing users to set target temperatures for both their grill and their food. The app sends a notification once your goal temperature is hit or surpassed, which means accidentally serving well-done steak is a thing of the past. It's also worth noting that the Meater, which boasts a seriously impressive wireless range, can be connected to an Alexa device or, as Gelbart prefers, an Apple Watch. "Having the oven timer on my wrist became my favorite little convenience of the whole package," he says.
Although the Meater Plus is designed for grills, it's also compatible with smokers, rotisseries, ovens, air fryers, and even a standard pan on the stovetop. Charging the thing is also a breeze: The included bamboo charging case ensures your Meater will always be juiced up and ready to go.
Everything's smart these days—watches, vacuums, notebooks—so why not let Dad's grill get in on the action? Shop the Meater Plus on Amazon while it's 30 percent off ahead of Father's Day. There's no telling how long this lightning deal will last, so shop soon—or get caught buying Dad's gift at full price.
