Never guess whether your chicken is cooked through.

Whether roasting the perfect whole chicken or a medium-rare steak, a reliable kitchen thermometer is a must-have.

I never gamble with raw meat,especially chicken.

My journey to finding the perfect thermometer began as I developed my skills on the grill.

Not all kitchen thermometers are created equallyand I want to trust that my thermometer is the most accurate.

So, I reached out to three seasoned food editors to spill the beans on their trusted tools.

Without missing a beat, each proclaimed their loyalty to one brand.

All three editors I spoke to said the best brand for kitchen thermometers isThermoworks.

They love various kitchen thermometers from Thermoworks for their size, accuracy, speed, and durability.

They’re a little spendy, but they last for years and years.

They’re super accurate and super fast.

I use mine for everything from cooking meat to baked goods to homemade caramel sauce.

Breana adds, I’m a big fan of theThermapopbecause of its size.

Laurel says, I’m a big Thermoworks fan.
