Recently I’ve been wishing I had one I could easily grab out of a kitchen drawer — and Alpha Grillers Digital Meat Thermometer might just be the one I pick up. It’s got more than 64,700 five-star ratings on Amazon, and it’s on sale for $16. No wonder more than a whopping 80,000 (!) were bought in just the past month alone.
What You Should Know About the Alpha Grillers Digital Meat Thermometer
Here’s why tens of thousands of reviewers love it: The compact thermometer is precalibrated, and can tell you the temperature in a second or two, so the readings are accurate and fast. Plus, the digital dial contains a bright blue blacklight, so you can see the temp no matter how dark it is by the grill (or in your kitchen). It’s also 20% off right now.
Reviewers really appreciate the backlight on this thermometer’s display, with one shopper writing, “The light feature is great, allowing me to read in the dark without my glasses.” Plus, a bunch of reviewers report that it’s “easy to clean,” too.

“This is a fantastic product, easy to use, with virtually instant readings. It works with food on the stove, food out of the oven, and food on the grill. It has made me a much better cook; no more over- or under-cooked meats!” —susan greer
