Steak buttons will tell you when your meat is raw, perfect or ruined
To cook your meat with any consistency, you really need to measure its internal temperature. Timing and grill-temperature control are fine if all your pieces of meat are all the exact shape and size of those in the recipe, but to get it right every time, you need a probe thermometer.
And these cute little individual Steak Buttons are perfect for the grill. You just pop them into a chunk of critter and wait for the needle to reach the right spot. I’m guessing that you’d want to cook one side of the steak before sticking this in, but even then its easier than taking a digital probe to each piece over and over. Especially as your hands don’t really want to be so close to the fire.
The only problem I see is that there is no actual temperature scale. A little calibration with a proper thermometer should take care of that, though (and write down the result somewhere so you don’t have to do it again next summer).
The Steak Buttons will cost you $20 for four, which is cheaper than a decent chunk of meat. Available now, just in time for BBQ season.
