Each year, shoppers scramble to buy this smart device that can save Thanksgiving dinner

CHEF iQ is promoting its wireless iQ Sense thermometer ahead of Thanksgiving, saying it can help cooks monitor a turkey remotely and judge when it is ready. The article presents the device as a way to simplify holiday cooking, when demand for meat thermometers can spike.

The thermometer has five sensors and sends temperature updates, estimated cooking times and reminders to a smartphone through an app; it can be used with ovens, grills, smokers and stovetops. CHEF iQ says more than 10,000 turkeys were cooked with its thermometer last year, while DoorDash data showed last-minute meat thermometer purchases rose 3,000% on Thanksgiving compared with a typical November day.
