Can I let you in on a secret? Making a steak that doesn’t resemble your dog’s rubber chew toy is easier than you’d think. You need the right tools, of course, as the best way to achieve your preferred level of doneness is via temperature. That’s why this 30% off deal on the top-rated Meater Plus Wireless Meat Thermometer is worth checking out. This popular gizmo takes all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking by letting you know both the internal and external temperatures of the foods you’re preparing. And at $60 (down from $100), it’s at the lowest price we’ve ever seen it.

One Yahoo Deals Writer, Carrie McCabe, and her husband tried it out, saying they’ve “never grilled better meat — it almost feels like cheating.” (Check out her full Meater Plus review for more.)

Why is it a good deal? 💰

This handy tool typically retails for $100 and doesn’t often go on sale. That said, it’s currently down to $69, which is the lowest price our trackers have seen it. And when expensive steaks are on the line? You want to ensure they’re edible, or else that’s just money down the drain.

Why do I need this? 🤔

How is the Meater Plus different from other meat thermometers? As mentioned, it reads the internal temperature of whatever you’re cooking, as well as the external temperature to ensure the heat source is at the appropriate level. Sure, there are some people who rely on the old finger test to let them know when their meat is done, but in order to be truly accurate, using temperature as a gauge is your best bet.

What makes this wireless thermometer so nifty is the fact that it’s extremely hands-off, allowing you to take care of other prep work while the meat cooks, rather than babysitting it. To use, you’ll want to make sure the included AAA battery is inside and pair the thermometer to your phone via the Meater app. Once you’ve placed the probe into the meat, you’ll be able to read the temperature on the app to see how close it is to the target temp for whatever you’re cooking. And if you have to step away, it’ll send you alerts throughout the cooking process — as long as you stay within 165 feet.

The colorful app interface is super user-friendly: You’ll just let it know what you’re cooking and the doneness you’re going for, and it’ll take care of the rest. You’ll be able to see the internal temperature, target temperature and ambient temperature at the top, along with a countdown to let you know how much cook time remains. So long, chewy chicken!

Another cool feature? It can read external temperatures up to a whopping 527°F. Plus, you’ll get up to 24 hours of use on a single charge, and the included wooden charger is rather aesthetically pleasing. Hate cleaning after a meal? (Don’t we all!) This waterproof thermometer is dishwasher-safe to save you some time, and its magnetic backing means you can store it on the fridge between charges for easy access.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 33,000 Amazon customers have given the Meater Plus their five-star seal of approval, and more than 10,000 have been bought in the past month, so you know it’s doing something right.

Pros 👍

“Bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband a while back,” shared this thoughtful reviewer. “So we’ve had plenty of experience with it now. This has been one of my most successful gift items. He really likes it and uses it frequently—in the oven, on the grill. The measure of doneness seems to be accurate and the meat is cooked as desired. Is it kind of gadgety? Yeah. But it lives up to its promises. If you’re looking for something to give you that extra level of confidence in your roasting or grilling, this is your tool.”

“No more mis-steaks,” wrote a “pun-ny” purchaser. “I like the versatility of the probe. I can now monitor the internal temperature of my steak to make sure it is medium-rare. No more under- or overcooked steaks … I can literally just leave it while I’m doing other things around the house. It tells me when it’s almost at the proper temperature and when to take it out.”

“I’m a kitchen girl and have many things that I love to use,” said this home chef. “But the Meater is one of my all-time favorites. It’s so easy to use and it’ll change your steak game and put you in the big leagues. I cooked steak for my husband yesterday evening and he told me it was the best steak he’s ever had in his life, so I thought it’s now time to leave a review.”

Cons 👎

Several reviewers shared this user‘s sentiments regarding the size of the probe. “The only complaint I really have is that the probe could be a bit thinner for use in thinner cuts,” they said. “Other than that, I really like the Meater. I used it last with sous vide and it did awesomely.”

“Almost perfect,” wrote a final fan. “My only complaint is the noise level on the app is too low. If I’m off doing something, I want an alarm I can hear!”
