Hosting dinner this Thanksgiving? Score a cult-fave thermometer on sale for $10

Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away, and with the endless sides, pies, roasts and the formidable turkey sating our palates, we need to be extra careful to make sure all that meat is cooked through properly and desserts aren't runny. Undercooked meat is dangerous, overcooked meat is like chewing on shoe leather, and runny pumpkin pie is just yucky. So why not resolve to never let it happen to you? Here's how, with this mega-popular meat thermometer, which just happens to be on sale for just $10 (down from $25).

Don't chew on this deal too long: With over 52,000 five-star reviews, this tool is a hot (heh) item.

The Kizen Digital Meat Thermometer will ensure that you'll never have to stress about too-rare or too-dry foods again. Just poke it into your dinner-to-be and you'll have a temperature readout in three seconds. Use it for making medium-rare steaks, properly cooked poultry, or satisfyingly seared salmon. But not only that; you can also use the Kizen to test frying oil, gauge the done-ness of casseroles and desserts and more without the guesswork. And oh yeah: It's waterproof and super easy to clean!

It's not just for hot foods, either: It can read temps from ?58 to 572 degrees via its backlit LCD display. (Prefer your temp readings in Celsius? Done, with the press of a button.) There's also a handy chart with popular cooking temperatures displayed right on the unit. And oh yeah: It automatically shuts off after 10 minutes to save battery life.

The Kizen Digital Meat Thermometer has a retractable probe for easy storage in a drawer, but it also has a magnetic back and hanging loop, so you can stick it on your fridge or display it proudly on the side of your grill

"An instant-read thermometer is a must for anyone grilling or cooking meat, poultry or fish," said one happy customer. "This is the secret to not overcooking! The best food thermometer I have ever owned. Would definitely recommend it to my friends or anyone looking to purchase a thermometer. Good value too!"

Another reviewer was impressed with how quickly the readings appeared. "Worked as expected and came with an extra battery. Took seconds to reach a stable temperature."

A thermometer like this is perfect to have on hand for grilling to get those steaks and burgers just right. It's also a must-have for cooking turkeys, rib roasts and more over the holidays.

"We were very happy with the Kizen meat thermometer," raved a shopper. "We used it to cook a 16-pound prime rib on Christmas and it was perfect! Customer service has been outstanding. I received a follow-up email with a compilation of suggestions for the most effective use and another reminding me that the product is under warranty should we have any issues. We are very satisfied!"

PS: The Kizen is not just great for food: Use it to gauge the right temp for milk bottles, bath water, even cocktails!

Versatile, precise, and useful, it will also make a great stocking stuffer for the gourmand in your life. Add one of these to your cart before this hot deal runs cold.
