Best WIRED-tested Wireless Meat Thermometers (2024)

A lot of what goes into making a great meal—be it a Tuesday steak dinner or Thanksgiving—is your ability to manage temperatures. No amount of chopped parsley or sprinkled fennel fronds can zhuzh up overcooked meat.. And that’s just the unpleasantness of chewing on leathery supermarket steaks, because accidentally tucking into raw chicken is more serious. These probes work … until you close the oven door on a bird, the lid on a pellet smoker barbecuing a brisket, or walk away from that T-bone on your grill. Then I subjected them to the Ironman test: putting the probes in a Staub cast-iron Dutch oven sitting in a Yoder pellet smoker, one of the most robust cookers on the market, and checking whether they stayed connected.
