Meater wireless probe
“ It ’ s a wireless device that relays both the internal as well as ambient temperature of the meat in a single easy-to-use probe . It even has an algorithm that automatically takes the data from a cook and predicts when you will hit a particular temperature . For the BBQ enthusiast , it ’ s a complete life-changer !”
Thermomix TM6 and Cookidoo app
“ With a toddler and working from home , it was difficult during the pandemic to find time to plan meals and cook . We were using Uber Eats a lot because of the lack of time . This all-in-one device — it slices , it dices !— and app have helped reduce food waste , and we eat healthier and at home .”

Supernatural app
“ The meditation exercises , encouragement from a variety of coaches , and inspiring music help to bring the positive vibes . Having a VR headset on during meditation sessions or workouts keeps me focused and distraction-free . Another big plus during the colder winter months is having 360-degree immersion in other landscapes such as beaches , lakes , or historical landmarks ( and maybe a few sci-fi scenes !).”
