A meat thermometer is one of the most helpful-but-underrated kitchen tools. It guides you to the correct temperatures and cook times, stopping you from under- or overcooking your proteins. But when it comes to finding the right thermometer, you'll want one that's easy to read, gives you an accurate temperature reading, and can accommodate your cooking needs. Fortunately one of our favorite meat thermometers is on sale — and you can score it on Amazon for just $57 right now.

To buy: Thermopro Wireless Meat Thermometer with Dual Meat Probe, $57 (originally $70) at amazon.com

In our researched roundup of the best meat thermometers, the Thermopro Wireless Meat Thermometer took the top slot for the best dual probe option. With temperature presets for nine types of meat based on USDA recommendations, an alarm to let you know when your food reaches the correct temperature, a taste button with five different options from rare to well done, and the ability to track two proteins at once, this thermometer is especially great for multitasking cooks.

The thermometer's temperature range goes from as low as 32 degrees up to 572 degrees Fahrenheit, and can be read in Celsius, too. Its sturdy probe wires can withstand high temps of up to 716 degrees Fahrenheit, making the thermometer great for use on the grill, stove, oven, and smoker. Not to mention, it has a portable design: Just set up the probes and the transmitter, then take the receiver (which has a handy belt clip!) with you while your food is cooking and it will wirelessly read the temperatures up to 300 feet away and alert you when they reach your chosen presets and doneness levels — meaning you can leave the thermometer to do its magic while you wrap up meal prep, pour a glass of wine, or entertain guests.

While in use, the transmitter can be placed on a stand or wire hook. Plus, the screen has a backlight for use at night, meaning you can grill from peak sunlight to long after the sun goes down.
