It doesn’t matter whether you’re cooking meat in the kitchen, or preparing a nice juicy cutlet of beef on the grill, one of the best ways to keep an eye on cooking times — and make sure the meat is ready to eat — is to use a thermometer. Thanks to Prime Big Deal Days, we’ve found a great instant-read thermometer on sale. The ThermoPro Lighting is only $50 right now, normally $70 which saves you a cool $20. This thing is fast, like near-instant fast. With a response time of one second or less, it will give you full readings almost as soon as you poke your meat.

Why should you shop this ThermoPro Lightning meat thermometer deal?

Integral to any grill or cook master’s arsenal is a meat thermometer. But don’t get things twisted. Just because it’s labeled as a “meat” thermometer doesn’t mean you can’t use it for other foods, including veggies. If you want to know the temp of your quiche this thermometer is a great candidate. While not the same model, we’ve reviewed the ThermoPro TP25 and ThermoPro TempSpike before. Spoiler: We liked both and the Lightning is probably no different in that regard.

It’s IP65 waterproof and has a skidproof grip, giving you a tight hold. Moreover, it offers a ±0.5° Fahrenheit pro-grade accuracy, with custom calibration options to make sure you’re getting accurate readings every time. Just pop out the metal probe, stick it in, and wait for the reading — but know you won’t be waiting long.

The 180-degree rotating display is ambidextrous-compatible, so it doesn’t matter which hand is your dominant one. Plus, the built-in motion sensor ensures it will wake up and reactivate when you pick it up to check temps, and then automatically turn off after 90 seconds of inactivity. No wasting batteries here. Plus, we can’t forget to mention there’s a 10-year warranty on this beast and it’s certified by NSF.

Normally $70, it’s all yours today for only $50, saving you $20. Stop beating your meat with a knife and fork to check the temps, use this probe instead.

Why shop this Ring Battery smart video doorbell deal?
A video doorbell, if you're not familiar, allows you to answer your door and talk to whoever is there without ever opening the front door. More importantly, you can connect remotely to the doorbell even if you're not home. That allows you to communicate with mail or package delivery pros, for example. Or, even communicate with someone bringing your Uber or Doordash order. The Ring Battery is a video doorbell that offers all of that, with better features than previous generations. We loved our time with the Ring Battery Pro model at Digital Trends. Reviewer Jon Bitner gave it four and a half stars praising its crisp video resolution, easily removable battery, and versatile installation support.
