There are other reasons why this thermometer is on our list of the best grills. There is a sleep/auto-wake feature to save battery life, and this device even has an IP67 rating for splash protection. The latter is important since food tends to splatter.

For similar reasons, the Thermapen One also made our list of the best small kitchen appliances. We called it “the best money can buy.” The only major downside to this thermometer is the price, especially when compared to some of its competitors. This deal helps to soften the price shock a bit, but it’s only valid until August 22nd.
