Even when you’re playing host at a summer cookout, there’s no reason to be “sweating over the coals.” Turn your smartphone into a BBQ sous chef with the iGrill, a thermometer that “relays the progress of your precious slabs of meat” while you do more important things—like down a beer with guests on the other side of the house. Insert the device’s probe into a steak and set the desired temperature. iGrill’s free app will cause your phone to buzz when the meat’s done to your liking. Currently only for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
