Which gadget makes your life better?

For me, it’s a bidet toilet seat. I bought one that didn’t really fit as well as I hoped, so now I am shopping for a v2 based on experience. I don’t want to live without one going forward. That’s for sure.

Laser thermometer. I learned a lot about better temperatures at which to cook things and now get more repeatable results when cooking.

Kitchen scale. Recipes are easier to prepare when weighing ingredients as opposed to using measuring spoons and cups.

Both make food a better experience, which leads to more satisfactory meals and eating less overall.

Do you have a meat thermometer?

No. I haven’t cared as much about that and I’m not sure why. I’ve both learned the old fashioned way and haven’t minded the results. I very rarely get the internal temperature wrong enough to not enjoy the food.

Yeah a laser is not that great, an instant read probe is what he needs.

I love my thermapen

A laser isn’t going to get you an accurate reading of what the inside of the meat is: Get yourself a meat thermometer instead.

Pretty sure he means the surface temp of where he’s about to put the food to cook.

Use the laser to see how hot the cast iron is before putting the meat on. Or how hot the oil is before deep frying. The laser thermometers are good for that.

For the pan, not the meat.
