This 55% off meat thermometer makes steak night idiot-proof
Let me set the scene: It's a sweltering June evening in Sag Harbor. There's a linen-clad hedge funder pacing in front of you, a wife yelling about scallops, and you're wrist-deep in a vat of heirloom tomato water trying to plate a dish that looks like a Rothko.
A few feet away, an ex-model-turned-wellness-influencer insists her wagyu be 'medium-rare but on the rare side,' which, for those playing along at home, is not a real temperature — just a polite way of saying, 'I want it perfect or I'll tell everyone you poisoned me.' This is when the CHEF iQ Sense Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer becomes less of a kitchen tool and more of a survival provision.
Amazon
The CHEF iQ Sense Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer is a sleek, Bluetooth-enabled cooking gadget that comes with three ultra-thin, dishwasher-safe probes and a compact base station. Each probe tracks temperature independently, so you can cook multiple proteins at once to different doneness levels.
The real magic? It syncs with the CHEF iQ app to provide real-time temperature readings, estimated cook times, and step-by-step guidance to get restaurant-quality results with zero stress. It's designed to work seamlessly for oven, grill, air fryer, and sous vide cooking, making it a powerful all-in-one upgrade for amateurs and chefs alike.
I've used a lot of meat thermometers in my time as a part-time private chef — some accurate, some pathologically wrong, most with cords that seem designed to tangle themselves (and me) into a crisis. That's why the CHEF iQ Sense Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer, currently 55% off on Amazon (just $99!), has me sweating like a roast under a heat lamp — in the best way.
While I haven't personally tested this exact one, I can tell you this: the specs make it sound like the culinary equivalent of a mind-reading boyfriend. Smart, wireless, and complete with three ultra-thin probes, it lets you track multiple proteins without ever lifting the lid — or putting down your cocktail.

What Are the 3 Best Bargain Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy Right Now?
The S&P 500 bounced back from its massive decline during the first four months of 2025. Nvidia, ASML, and Amazon provide diverse opportunities for gaining AI exposure. Although they seem richly valued, all three are all trading at discounts to their historical valuations. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › In April when the S&P 500 sunk about 19%, bargain hunters were having a field day. Today, however, the opportunities to find quality artificial intelligence (AI) stocks hanging on the discount rack may seem fewer and farther between. But that's not to say that they don't exist. In fact, today seems like a great time to pick up shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), ASML (NASDAQ: ASML), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) while they're sitting in the bargain bin. Trading today at around 52.5 times operating cash flow, Nvidia stock certainly doesn't seem like it's a value opportunity at first glance. Before making this determination, however, you'd be wise to remember that it's often useful to consider a stock's valuation in context of its historical valuation. In doing so, you'd find Nvidia stock's five-year average cash-flow multiple is 55.1, illustrating its less expensive valuation today. Similarly, shares of Nvidia seem admittedly higher trading at 53 times trailing earnings, but since they have a five-year average P/E ratio of 70.2, shares seem attractively priced right now. A semiconductor stalwart, investors would be hard pressed to find a company that supports advancement of the AI industry as much as Nvidia thanks to the graphics processing units it designs for data centers, where AI computing occurs. Additionally, Nvidia has ownership stakes in a variety of AI companies that are driving innovation in a variety of fields including generative AI and healthcare. Unsurprisingly, the production of sophisticated semiconductors that companies rely on to drive AI innovation is far from a simple process. That's where ASML comes in. The company provides hardware, software, and services that help facilitate the mass production of microchips found in AI applications. Most notably, the company provides semiconductor makers with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems -- systems that enable the printing of the smallest features on microchips at the highest density. This is an invaluable tool for advanced semiconductor makers such as ASML customers Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Intel. It's hard to overstate the allure of ASML with respect to the vital role it plays in helping chipmakers; it's currently the only company worldwide to manufacture EUV lithography systems. Like with Nvidia, ASML stock's trailing P/E ratio of 33.7 might not shout "bargain," but considering its five-year trailing earnings multiple of 40.8, the current valuation seems more compelling. Climbing 2.6% since the start of 2025, Amazon stock has failed to keep pace with the S&P 500, which has risen 6.4% as of this writing. With the lack of uncertainty regarding tariffs and how they will impact the company's retail business, investors have chosen to keep their distance -- unlike 2024 when Amazon stock soared more than 44%. While the stock's lackluster rise in 2025 may be disheartening for current shareholders, it helps to provide a good entry point for prospective investors. Currently, shares are priced 36.7 times trailing earnings -- a hefty discount to their five-year average P/E of 64.1. From its cloud platform, Amazon Web Services, which supports its customers develop their own AI resources, to the development of AI tools like the virtual assistant Alexa and Amazon Q, an AI assistant used in workplace settings, the company has broad exposure to the AI industry. Plus, there's the numerous ways that Amazon is leveraging AI in everything it owns, making it even clearer that this AI powerhouse has a great opportunity to flourish in the years ahead. While it's always important to focus on the present and look toward the future, taking a peak at the past can also prove to be pretty helpful -- especially with respect to valuing stocks. At first glance, Nvidia, ASML, and Amazon may all seem to sport rich price tags, but, when taking into account their historical valuations, it becomes much clearer how they are all available at a discount right now. All three companies provide varying opportunities, but Nvidia is arguably the best choice right now for those seeking the most concentrated exposure to the burgeoning field of AI. Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them.

The AirPods Pro 2 Passed My Teen's Test, and They're $80 Off Right Now
My 13-year-old daughter loves her music and her privacy, and for years she has wanted a pair of AirPods. I always considered them too expensive and she's been using cheaper options, like the Amazon Echo Buds, as a result. But after one too many pairs being mysteriously "lost," I figure there's never been a better time to upgrade her to a pair of AirPods Pro 2. I picked them up during last year's sales, and they were definitely well-received. She's happy, she uses them every day and she hasn't lost them yet. They are currently $169 at Amazon -- a nice $80 discount on the usual price. While that's not the cheapest we've seen them go for, it's still a solid price for a high-quality pair like these. Why I didn't wait for the AirPods Pro 3 Rumors abound that Apple will replace the Pro 2 with an updated Pro 3 version later this year. My kid wanted headphones sooner, so I got her the Pro 2s. But if you're on the fence, here's my perspective. The main improvements to the Pro 3 are said to be heart-rate monitoring like the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 have, as well as a new design. Other speculation points to improved sound and processing with Apple's H3 chip, temperature sensors, built-in infrared cameras, a touchscreen on the case, live translation of languages and more. There's no way to know what they actually will have, but I do know that they'll be more expensive than the Pro 2 (especially at this sale price). I don't think those new features are going to be worth the money, however. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. You might have a different take, especially if you want heart-rate monitoring on your headphones for fitness sessions or one of those rumored extras. In that case it might be worth waiting to see what the new versions include. The AirPods Pro 3 are expected to be announced in September and on sale soon after. Why I didn't get the AirPods 4 instead Why did I choose AirPods Pro 2 instead of the newer AirPods 4 with ANC? First off, as I mentioned in another article about a different pair of earbuds I bought, I think sealed, in-ear buds are better than open-design models like the AirPods 4. The seal creates another layer of noise isolation and contributes to superior sound quality, and if you want to pay attention to the world you can always engage ambient sound mode, which Apple calls transparency mode. XS eartips mean an XL hug from a happy kid may be coming soon. Lexy Savvides/CNET Also a factor was the commentary of CNET reviewer David Carnoy, who considers the Pro 2 the best Apple noise-canceling wireless earbuds: "While we're quite impressed with those new models -- and with the AirPods 4 ANC in particular -- the AirPods Pro 2 remain arguably the best Apple AirPods you can buy if you don't mind having silicone ear tips jammed in your ears." My daughter uses earplugs all the time to help her sleep, so she definitely qualifies as somebody who's comfortable stuffing things in her ears. Like her fingers, when I start using words like "sigma," "skibidi" and "relatable" to try to relate to her. I asked Carnoy about the Pro 2s potentially not fitting in her kid-size ears and he reassured me that the range of eartips that come with the Pro 2s "now include XS, so they should fit." Should you buy now with the threat of tariffs? It's no secret that President Donald Trump's tariffs are leading to higher prices for a lot of things, including electronics. We're actually tracking the price of the AirPods Pro 2 in our tariff tracker and as of press time the price has actually decreased since January. If you're in the market for AirPods 2 now anyway, now is a good time to buy. A Reuters report from April said AirPods could be subject to a 39% price hike to cover tariff costs, but the tariff situation is fluid, so I wouldn't use that potential increase as a reason to buy now. If you wait until the new model comes out later this year, the price on the older AirPods Pro 2 might even get lower. Do AirPods make a great gift? It took me years to finally understand, but yes, for someone looking for wireless earbuds, AirPods -- especially the Apple AirPods Pro 2 -- make the perfect gift, regardless of whether you're a teenage girl or not.
