What is it?
(starting at $99) is a super tech-savvy way to measure the temperature of food while it's cooking. If you're looking for something a little sexier than a standard thermocouple, the iGrill uses a Bluetooth connection to report temperatures directly to your iPhone. You can also set an alarm to notify you when the food reaches a desired temperature.
What to make.
To serve a steak rare
, be sure to hit an internal temperature between 120°F and 125°F. But if you've got lamb on the grill, maybe lamb burgers
, get that temperature a little higher to 135°F for rare, and 160°F for medium. Pork
needs to hit 160°F to ensure that it will be safe to eat, and chicken
need to hit a minimum of 165°F. The iGrill has a handy chart that lists all the different desired temperatures for various foods.
