I find using them as headphones to be a better option then transparency mode when using my phone. The Meta AI is also pretty good at recognizing flavors of bottles and types of food in packaging.
- askvictor 2y agoEven for people with good eyesight, an instant read thermometer is a game changer. Completely takes the guesswork out of cooking meat perfectly, also excellent for cakes, potatoes, and more. There are very decent ones for less that $20.
- sn9 2y agoI would add an immersion circulator to cook food sous vide as similarly impactful here, though getting a good thermometer is more necessary. It's made meal prepping incredibly easy and food is always perfectly cooked. You never have to eat a dry or overcooked piece of meat again.
- jareds 2y agoI have one of those but don't use it that often. I tend to cook burgers which work better on the grill. While I could cook sausage with it it's easier to do it on the grill to get a char. I do like it for chicken and stake though.
- askvictor 2y agoAgree; though I've gone for an instant pot with a sous vide mode. Temperature controlled cooking is something of a revolution.
- jareds 2y agoThe advantage of this one is that I know it works with an app on my phone. ALso it's my understanding that instant read ones can't stay in the food while it cooks? This one can handle temperatures over 500 degrees farenheight.
- askvictor 2y agoFor oven cooking I have one with a probe and a display that's outside the oven; though I rarely use that, and just open the oven and stick the instant-read. I can't say I have any interest in stuffing around with my phone while I'm cooking.
- Izkata 2y agoRelated to this, I bought an oven thermometer a while ago - turns out my oven claims it's done pre-heating about 15 minutes before it actually reaches the target temperature. And it's a pretty new oven so this isn't an age thing. Food has come out more consistent since I've started giving it more pre-heating time.
