This No. 1 bestselling digital meat thermometer is on sale for $12 at Amazon

Ready for your summer cookouts? That Fourth of July barbecue is just around the corner, and now is a great time to arm yourself with a digital thermometer. It's the best way to make sure your food is cooked just right and safe to eat. Enter the ThermoPro TP03. It's lightning-fast, precise and so popular it's earned a flawless five-star rating from over 93,000 reviewers. Right now it can be yours for just $12 (down from $16!) at Amazon.

Meet your new favorite thermometer

The ThermoPro TP03 Digital Meat Thermometer has a high-precision sensor for ultra-fast readings — we're talking mere seconds. It features a temperature range of –58 to 572 degrees F (about –50 to 300 degree C) and an easy-to-read 3.9-inch backlit LCD display.

It's a snap to use. Says a five-star reviewer: "The design is very clever. Just push the red hinge button, and the temperature probe pops out. Open it all the way, and the probe clicks into place. Then puncture the food to be measured, push the on/off button, and voilà — you get a temperature reading in the blink of an eye."

Keep it on the fridge (it has a built-in magnet) or use the hook to hang it up. And don't worry about draining the battery (it takes one AAA — included!); the thermometer automatically shuts down after 10 minutes of inactivity.
