Best Meat Thermometer, Top Picks for Grilling and Cooking

[zoee]

I’ve been looking for a good meat thermometer because cooking meat perfectly has always felt a little challenging for me. I want to make sure every meal is cooked properly and safe to eat. I’ve checked out several options online, and while many have glowing reviews. 

I’m still not completely sure which one would be the easiest and most reliable to use.

Has anyone here bought a meat thermometer for home use?
Which one do you recommend?

Can this prove to be effective, or are there better ones to compare it with?

Thanks in advance.

Thermoworks has the best meat thermometers out there. They’re on the pricy side, but worth it.

I second what @5698k (Robert) said. Thermoworks rock. Accurate, instant read. What more do you need? 

There's a whole different discussion about "wireless" thermometers for the rotisserie. More new ones coming out all the time.

I'm a gadget guy so I like using my FireBoard and Pulse, but the ThermoWorks RFX came out just after I committed and I may have chosen them if I had to buy new today. Still, with a decent UI both for local access, web, and phone the FireBoard is pretty nice compared to my previous Stoker (now out of business) where I had to build my own web UI.

Thanks everyone for all your advice and suggestions.

Wooo, slow them horses down now....why would buy something more expensive that might not be any better than something "less expensive". I have numerous ThermoPro's, fantastic items, had them for years and they are guaranteed if they fail. So nothings perfect, I had a couple fail over the years...didn't realize they had a customer sevice number. One day I reached out and explained the failure, immediately a new one was in the mail, wow, I slightly mentioned another had suffered the same demise a year back in the same conversation and lo and behold I recieved two in the mail just for saying so. Some of my guests say they haven't had a bad meal ever at my house, that may may be true, it could be experience or it could be that dang THERMOPRO. For a quarter of the cost, the same same size and it fits so handally in one's hand, why wouldn't you...it's a no brainer. Maybe we should have a quick draw, you know the fast gun stuff,  but with Thermometers, I think I'm pretty confident where I stand, have for years. Check it out, it's just a click away.

get a cheap one for $20 with a bottle opener, temp chart, f/c toggle switch, easy battery swap.

thermoworks just reads faster, better IP, and more $$$

I’ve seen the Alpha Grillers Digital Meat Thermometer and their reviews are good, but I think everyone has their own personal preferences.

Thanks for sharing that’s super helpful. Sounds like ThermoPro thermometers are reliable and backed by great customer service. I might try one for my next cook since it fits well in hand and works consistently. Appreciate the tip!
