Associate Editor, ATK Reviews] Precision matters when you’re cooking. An extra minute of cooking time can spell disaster, and too much smoked paprika or too little salt can change the flavor of a dish. So we think it’s important to invest in quality tools when it comes to keeping time, measuring ingredients, and taking the temperature of foods. In this week’s buying guide, we’ve collected the best equipment for accuracy while cooking. From our top-rated [digital thermometer]( to our favorite [measuring spoons]( these are tools we rely on for success in the kitchen. [A Timer]( Must-Have of the week A Timer The best kitchen timers are simple and easy to read and hear, with clearly labeled buttons, big digital screens, and alerts that are audible and/or visible from across the room. They often have extra features (such as stopwatch functions and memory settings) or adjustable settings to increase their usefulness. We especially like two of the models we tested. The [ThermoWorks Extra Big & Loud Timer]( is our top pick for cooks who want to track only one thing at a time. For cooks who want the ability to track multiple things with one timer, we recommend the [OXO Good Grips Triple Timer](.
