Undercooked meat is dangerous, and overcooked meat is like chewing on shoe leather. This digital meat thermometer will help ensure you’ll never stress about either one again. Just poke it into your dinner-to-be and you’ll have a temperature readout in a few seconds. It’s not just for hot foods, either: It can read temps from −58°F to 572°F and has a vibrant backlit display. 

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you may still be able to get this bad boy in time for Father’s Day this Sunday. 

“Very good thermometer,” said one fan who bought multiples. “Does what it needs to do. Accidentally dunked it in water and it still worked. Easy to use. Bought a second one for backup and another as a gift. Good housewarming gift or a small gift for a new cook or someone who does not know how to cook meats to temp!”

“This thing rocks!” added another shopper. “I’ve been cooking without one of these my whole 63-year-old life. Last night I was cooking some pork, and after the recommended cooking time, checked [the] internal temp. Perfect. But I know if I hadn’t had the meat thermometer, I would have cooked it longer … I guess I’ll need to apologize for all the dry meat I’ve been serving all my life.”

Another person shared that it made a great gift for Dad. “Bought this for Father’s Day about four years ago. My husband loves this thermometer and won’t cook without it,” they said. “He never fails to tell me how much he enjoys it still.”

If you love wearing leggings, but want something a little breezier (and just as comfy) for summer, these Hanes Capris may be for you. Ideal for lazy weekends or running around in comfort, the soft French terry fabric makes them lightweight and breathable. But it’s the elastic waist that makes them extra cozy! More than 14,00 Amazon shoppers rave about them — right now, they’re the online retailer’s No. 1 bestselling sweatpants.

“These are my new favorite casual pants!” gushed a five-star reviewer. “They are fantastic in every way … fit, comfort, flattering, length, waist, price. The fabric is not too thin or thick, it’s a happy medium. As soon as I got my first pair, I immediately bought two more pairs and I will purchase them again. I sure hope they always have these. Don’t hesitate — get some.”

Amazon shoppers like to say “this pan is magic!” The top-seller is equipped to do everything a professional chef might do in a kitchen — sautéing, frying, searing and more — with ease. It’s made with commercial-grade, heavy-gauge aluminum and topped with a PFOA-free nonstick coating, so it heats up fast, distributes heat evenly and your food won’t get stuck to it. Yahoo editors tried it this year and we named it our best nonstick pan of 2024.

“I’ve used probably 20 nonstick frypans over the years. Most are great for a couple weeks, some for a couple months, a very few for more than a year,” explained one home cook. “The Tramontina is in a class by itself. Not only is it dirt cheap in comparison, the coating lasts almost forever (measured in pan years). I just replaced one that worked well for four years. The one before that stayed nonstick for five years.”

“It’s only been plugged in for 24 hours and I can tell a huge difference in my sinus and nasal cavities,” shared one impressed user. “I have three cats and itchy allergies. Today I woke up and my eyes weren’t itchy and I could breathe out of both of my nostrils. AMAZING! Not one sneeze from my sister or me. We didn’t take any kind of antihistamines today, either. Wish I knew about this sooner. Love it!”

Hate lugging a heavy vacuum up and down your stairs? You won’t have to with this cordless vac — the sleek design is a major upgrade from bulky dirt-busters of yore. It transforms into a handheld for cleaning furniture and higher surfaces, and a filtration system traps allergens such as pet dander. Score this household helper (one of Yahoo editors’ picks for this year’s best vacuums) for just $300 — a cool $120 off.

“I was unsure about spending so much money on a vacuum but oh my gosh. My house is clean! ” said one pet parent. “I used to have to vacuum and use this rake/broom thing to remove dog hair. Not anymore! I appreciate that it picks up all the dog hair and I don’t have to worry about the hair getting tangled on the vacuum head. Never did I think a vacuum would make me this happy!”
