# Elegant Silicone Meat Thermometers 'Hot Stuff!' is an Attractive and Easy-to-Use Cooking Tool By Joey Haar | Published 2018-05-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-stuff References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/hot-stuff-food-thermometer/) & [store.luminaire](https://store.luminaire.com/hot-stuff) Meat thermometers are among the more utilitarian of [kitchen utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-kitchen-gadget), but 'Hot Stuff!' from designer Alain Gilles makes the tool as attractive as it is a practical necessity. The silicone-covered thermometer has a clever user interface that helps turn anyone into a [master griller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-electric-grill). Since the read-out on Hot Stuff! is covered in silicone, it is heat-resistant. Less experienced chefs who don't know the right time to check on their meat can thus grab the thermometer while it's in without risking any burns. Further, the marker on the thermometer points to both the temperature of the meat and a picture of the animal in question, showing the ideal temperature for whatever one's cooking. Hot Stuff! also comes with a silicone slip to cover the thermometer's sensor when the tool is stored away. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Elegant Silicone Meat Thermometers:** The trend of creating visually appealing meat thermometers using silicone covers and clever user interfaces. - **Heat-resistant Kitchen Tools:** The trend of developing kitchen tools, like meat thermometers, that are resistant to high temperatures. - **Intuitive Cooking Gadgets:** The trend of designing cooking gadgets with user-friendly interfaces to simplify the cooking process. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Utensils:** The industry that focuses on the production and innovation of various kitchen utensils, including meat thermometers. - **Cookware:** The industry that manufactures and sells a wide range of cooking equipment and utensils. - **Smart Home Appliances:** The industry that specializes in developing intelligent and innovative kitchen appliances for smart homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Weather Cooking Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefstemp-protemp-plus.md) - [High-Speed Food Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/typhur-instaprobe.md) - [Wireless Smart Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-smart-thermometer.md) - [Magnetic Power-Free Food Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-temperature-detector.md) - [Connected Outdoor Cooking Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilleye-max.md) - [Tech-Forward Precision Cooking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/precision-cooking-tools.md) - [Connected Cooking Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempspike.md) - [Connected Long-Range Meat Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meater-2-plus.md) - [Connected Dual-Recipe Meat Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meater-pro-duo.md)
