You can spend into three digits on some of the fanciest units out there – but you don’t need to. The X10 is our pick for the best high end kitchen thermometer. It’s a solid well built tool that feels good in the hand. Most importantly it’s fast and accurate reading to a 0.7F degree accuracy from -22F through to 572F – more than enough for air frying.

The business end of the thermometer rotates through a huge 270 degrees making it good for left and right handed cooks alike; the display also intelligently rotates as you do too. Its IP67 waterproof, motion activated, and sports a fancy backlit display making it easy to read in any light.
