Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s hard to know exactly when meat is ready, and getting everyone\u2019s \u2018medium-rare\u2019 requests just right is never easy, so we can often do with a helping hand: cue the smart meat thermometer.<\/p>\n

Rather than simply sticking a traditional thermometer into your meat, or sweet treats such as jam or melted chocolate, and waiting for the result (in the hope you\u2019re not too late), a smart cooking thermometer lets you monitor your food\u2019s progress from your phone or tablet.\u00a0Mingle with your guests, and check whether your meat is ready for resting from the table, easy.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re already thinking about BBQ season, or want to up your hosting game, our round-up of the best smart meat thermometers is here to help.<\/p>\n

Possibly the biggest name in the world of smart meat thermometers, Meater<\/em> is the go-to for many enthusiastic cooks. Just insert the probe into your meat before it goes into the oven, and set up your personalised cook on the app by selecting the cut of meat (sirloin, rib-eye, T-bone), oven temperature and cooking preference (rare, or well-done perhaps).<\/p>\n

Once your food is in the oven, the app guides you through the cooking process with handy timers, alerts and resting times so it\u2019s like having a tiny chef in your pocket, telling you what to do. The probe features two sensors that work simultaneously: one for measuring the internal temperature of the meat, and a second for the external temperature. The probe is also dishwasher safe, and we like the sleek, understated design. You can also enjoy an impressive range of 50m, ideal if you\u2019re busy at home, dotting from room to room.<\/p>\n

A great gift for steak lovers, and a particularly handy tool for those tackling their first turkey this festive season. For a larger feast, and further precision, check out the Meater Block<\/a> \u2013 a jazzy set that comes with four probes.<\/p>\n
