Kitchen scale. Baking is much better with weight measurements instead of volume. Also useful for calculating calories.
Headlamp. Having light where you don't need to hold a phone or a flashlight is great.
Digital meat thermometer. No more guessing.
USB charging hub. Charge many devices at once.
They should call those thermomeaters.. random thought
To my brain, that sounds like what someone would call their penis while jokingly trying to get their partner to take their temperature.
"Open up for the thermomeater babe, gotta make sure you don't have a fever!"
...I was referring to taking a temperature orally, but I guess they could mean rectally, too, lmao
We like to keep it inclusive
I call them meatmometers.
Iโll second the meat thermometer. I bought one a little while ago and find that it prevents me from overcooking things out of an overabundance of caution.
No more dried pork chops or chicken! I probe everything I eat. I also used a "Meater" to cook our Thanksgiving turkey, came out ridiculously juicy.
Wireless ones are fantastic, can BBQ and cook in the kitchen without worrying about over/under cooking
I bought a scale to start measuring my coffee a couple years ago and only recently realized I could be using it for cooking. Was definitely a game changer
Headlamp is the low key goat of tools for home improvement.
A really great meat thermometer, like a thermapen, can be very pricey
Yep, got one. They're lovely and read in one second and are extremely accurate, but a simple 4 or 5 second reader will do the job just fine for most applications. Those can be had for around 25 USD.
Why stop with one head lamp? I have so many flashlights and head straps.
