Most cooking mistakes come down to two things: wrong temperature and wrong timing. An instant-read thermometer tells you the inside of the chicken is 165°F, not just "done-looking." A kitchen timer that you can actually hear pulls you back to the stove before the garlic burns. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store for over 50 years, we carry the best thermometers and timers from ThermoWorks, Rösle, and a range of charming analog timers that belong on any kitchen counter.

A professional standard in restaurant kitchens. The Thermapen for the classic Thermapen with the same rotating probe design. The Thermopop 2 for ThermoWorks' more affordable instant-read option — slower at 3 seconds but still accurate and a top choice for home cooks.
