- Digital Meat Thermometer– these are vital when cooking meats of any kind. It is very accurate. You set the temperature by what kind of meat you are cooking and select your doneness (rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done). It goes off to let you know when it has reached your desired doneness and you just remove from the oven. Easy peasy! This one is super budget friendly too! Get it here: http://amzn.to/2AzS6F6.
