MEATER® Smart Meat Thermometer 4+

Take all guess work out of cooking!!!

How can a company possibly make a thermometer look sexy? I didn’t know it was possible but damnit they did it. This thing is amazing. Honestly amazong is an understatement- more like revolutionary. I’m actually taken aback. I have had several “digital thermometers” in the last but this ….this is in a completely different league. Besides being a conversation piece and is on display in our kitchen, when used with the app, it’s a complete powerhouse of metrics delivered instantly to you when you need it: ambient temp, target temp, internal temp, alarms for notifications, when to pull it off the heat for resting periods…it’s also filled with features. It has been 100% accurate so far and I’ve used it about a dozen times. It completely takes the guess work out of cooking. Firstly, no wires. That’s huge. Secondly, you can choose from pre-determined meat temp settings or do your own! There are presets for all kinds of meat amd fish. A countdown helps you gauge time and timers alert you when you’re not actively watching your phone. I could go on and on but the app itself is ROCK SOLID!

Meat at its best (MEATER+)

I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of barbecue and smoking. This thing has been my right hand tool through the journey. They say the journey is the reward but that’s an understatement. A lot of the comments I’ve read say that it disconnects, it has not disconnected one time for me (20+ cooks). I do keep the probe clean and scrub it down after each use like the directions say. Other than that my only suggestion would be to keep the notes synced across devices. If I start a cook and add notes on my iPad, I cannot see or add to the same notes on my iPhone.

UPDATE***
At first, I thought it was my grill’s probe, but after a smoke with 1 meater probe in the brisket and the other resting on a pan (2” up from grill surface) , the temperature fluctuations are ridiculous. Initially I will set my grill to 200° and the meter would only read the ambient as 150°. It will have this wide gradient for most of the cook. The closer to the stall and subsequently after, the ambient reading from the meater and the setpoint for the grill start to align. I can trust the meter only for an internal temperature. Other than that the timing and ambient are not anything I can trust. I realize that initially there’s not a good predictive estimate on timing for large blocks of meat because of the stall but this is like that across all cooks, whether it be a steak, fish, etc..

True wireless monitoring!

I’ve been using the MEATER for a couple of weeks now, purchased shortly after I also purchased a new gas grill. The gas grill has a rotisserie and I wanted to be able to monitor internal meat temperature on my roasts without bothering with wires. The MEATER works perfectly for this! I find accurate internal meat temperatures, accurate estimated time to completion, and the convenience of being able to monitor the internal temperature inside my grill during cooking. All of this with the convenience of no wires and being able to use my phone application for monitoring all of the above. What a game changer! I have now used the MEATER to cook a whole turkey, a prime rib roast, and a pork shoulder on my gas grill using the rotisserie, and I couldn’t be happier with the probe and the app.

Update: I continue to use and love the MEATER probe and phone app regularly, now going on 6 months. I have no complaints whatsoever and fine the device to be quite accurate. I purchase extra MEATER probes often as gifts for friends.
