Under 1000:

- robot vacuum. Now my house gets vacuumed (that should tell you how much I hate doing it.)

- the bidet seat is not tremendously life changing but it's very helpful.

Under 100:

- a quality probe thermometer. I use it for everything baked and most ways of cooking meat. Nothing is over~ or undercooked anymore. I do have another one with 2 probes for bbq/smoking -- you can use the two in the point and flat of a brisket, which tend to cook to different temperatures, or use one to monitor temperature of the grill and the other for the meat. It's also bluetooth so I can monitor temps from the comfort of my computer desk.

- a good rice cooker. Frees up a burner, rice is done when you tell it to be done and it's always perfect.



> - a quality probe thermometer.

Can you recommend one you like? This is a hard thing to research without hitting fake reviews and blogspam. Not like there's an established brand a normal consumer would know about.

I guess that applies to a lot of things now.


https://www.thermoworks.com/ Makes excellent thermometer. Even at the low end


Yes, that's the one I use. I have a Thermopop and a Dot, which I use less often. It's an oven probe that you'd use on roasts and any large chunk of meat that takes some time.


Thermoworks is absolutely the established name brand. Their thermapens defined the market segment, but their other offerings (DOT) are also very high quality.


Not parent but look at Meater.

My friends and I all use it.


Which robo vaccum did you get?


It's a Eufy 30C max. There are probably newer models and higher end ones out there, though. There are robovacs that empty their own dustbins.
