We believe in using technology to help make us better cooks where it is smart, useful, and easy-to-use (we are a cooking website after all!) -- the Range thermometer is a perfect example of how digital innovation can improve basic home objects.

This food-safe, heatproof to 450°F, hand-washable thermometer connects via a tough 4.5' silicone cable to your device (iPhone or iPad). Download the free app, and the thermometer suddenly becomes your best sous chef. Use it to quickly spot-check temperatures on meat, or leave it in a pot to wait for a liquid or dish to come to the right heat. The cable is durable enough to go in the oven, and the online app lets you graph your results to learn the intricacies of projects like candy making or beer brewing.
