Regularly priced at $64, the ThermoWorks ChefAlarm probe thermometer has dropped its price to $51 for Cyber Monday. It's well worth it if you or your giftee is serious about barbecue, making cheese or caramelizing candy. The cable is heat-resistant to more than 700 degrees Fahrenheit so there's no reason to think that this model won't last a lifetime. Our best value pick, the DOT Simple Alarm, is also on sale for $34.40.
The newest addition to the sale is the Thermapen MK4, which is at its lowest price we've seen. It also happens to be my personal favorite—I received one as a gift last year and I've been using it to help me temper chocoalate, check the doneness of steaks and roast lamb.
A probe thermometer is incredibly helpful when cooking large cuts of meat. It'll prevent you from overcooking your brisket, Sunday roast or pulled pork on the smoker by alerting you when the meat reaches the right temperature. And it can do so much more than that. If you're a cheesemaker or dabble in candymaking, you can dangle the probe over the side of the pot when heating milk or sugar, keeping your hands safely away from those dangerously hot temperatures.

We ran a series of tests on probe thermometers, and found it really doesn't get much better than the ChefAlarm. In addition to being one of the most accurate probes in the group, it's also one of the few that you can calibrate. It has a nice backlight display that may appear to be a little crowded at first, but the "current temp" reading is the largest and easiest number to read. You can use it as a timer and adjust the alarm's volume, and it keeps track of the minimum and maximum readings. It even has a high- and low-temperature alarm, which I really appreciate as a cheesemaker. We especially love that it has a hinged, tilting screen for easy viewing on the countertop (it also has a magnet and a clip).
