maverick meat thermometer Leave it up to our sibling blog, Engadget to find the coolest things for the cook.

Maverick makes meat thermometers that allow you to grill, without having to stand out their on the patio sweating it out under the sun. The thermometers come in three different models, all of which work the same way: the thermometer's probe is inserted into the meat and you carry a wireless receiver that gives you the temperature from up to 100 meters away. It will also alert you when the meat has reached a given temperature or doneness. So you can go back inside and have a margarita with your guests.

The Maverick thermometers range from $59.99 to $79.99.

In Southern California, it's currently 107° outside and I had the smart idea of cooking a rib roast over oak for dinner. As luck would have it, I just found the remote thermometer pictured in a drawer and searched the house successfully to find its companion. So I am comfortably inside where it is some 35° cooler and I should go outside only once more to retrieve the meat. So it's a great tool, but this model is at least three years old, and I thought everyone knew about it by now.

Beware of the range on these things . I have one and I can't get more than 10ft. from the sensor unit . I was hoping to be able to get a reading from inside the house from my smoker but that's just not possible .

Tip of the Day

Even though the crust of your pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving turned out flaky and buttery, consider everyone "pie"-ed out. Try these non-pie ways to use up leftover disk of dough.
