Overly complicated invention #73

A Bluetooth meat thermometer.

Now, hear me out with this one. If you've ever tried to make a roast, and get it that wonderful medium rare pink colour, you know just how important temperatures is. You want the roast to hit just the right temp, and then grab that thing out of the oven before it becomes the texture of an elderly Floridean. So, are you going to spend three hours watching your oven like a hawk, waiting for the needle to hit the magic spot, or for the little red button to pop up? Hell no!

Instead, a bluetooth thermometer!

You set the meat type and how well done you want it. Say, lamb roast, rare. Jab it in the thickest part of the meat, and walk away. As soon as it hits the right temperature (which will be stored in the thermometer's memory) it sends you a text message. You hustle over, and pull your perfectly cooked roast out of the oven.

Of course, the electronics would have to be heat shielded, but still...
