Wireless meat thermometer

Why he’ll love it

A wireless meat probe sits in the joint and sends the temperature to his phone, so he can watch the match while the brisket cooks. Check the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range, the battery life and whether it supports more than one probe. He'll love keeping an eye on the cook from anywhere in the house or garden, with alerts when the meat hits the right temperature. Some apps include guided cooks and timers, which help beginners. Check it's dishwasher safe and whether it needs a hub or works directly with his phone. It suits techy barbecue fans, low-and-slow smokers and anyone who loves a gadget. It's useful in the oven for Sunday roasts too. It’s a great pick if he’s into bbq and food. Check what he cooks on now, gas, charcoal or a smoker, so it fits his set-up straight away. In the £50–£100 band it works well as a main birthday, Christmas or Father’s Day present, or as a joint gift from the family. Prices and availability change, so check the latest details, sizes and reviews on the product page before you buy, and keep the receipt in case he wants to swap it.
