MEATER Plus | 50m Long Range Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer for The Oven Grill Kitchen BBQ Smoker Rotisserie with Bluetooth and WiFi Digital Connectivity

The device gives you all the required instructions to cook properly the meat selected. The desired internal temperature is perfectly reached by following the instructions and a rather precise estimation of the cooking time is given based on the difference of ext/int T and the int T gradient. A graph gives you all the info and can be saved as a record for future cookings. People complained about network issues related to the poor signal observed upon distance from meter. My experience is that provided that Meater charger is positioned close to the probe, no issues are observed in this regard. I can walk around my house with my mobile app no problem. Brilliant product.

Works fantastic really accurate best thing I’ve ever bought to get meat cooked perfectly on the barbecue in the oven in a pan in the pizza oven

I know the Meater is expensive but on this occasion I believe I got what I payed for. The instructions and web support that come with the probe and are on the web are quite adequate. The probe was easy to pair with my phone and once that was done things were ready to move on. I put the probe in a large joint of pork, used the app to get the end result I wanted and a couple of hours or so later I finished up with a perfectly cooked pork joint. The meat can be cooked to any condition from rare to pulled and cooking and resting times are also advised. I don't cook turkeys nowadays but the amount of consternation cooking one of those on Xmas day can cause is a good enough reason to buy one of these if ever there was one. The chances of ruining a roast with one of these, if used properly, are virtually insignificant and given the price of meat these days that can only be a good thing. The Meater is a well made piece of equipment and as far as I am concerned and I am glad I've got one!

I'd wanted a Meater for a while and when my cheap 4-probe wired thermometer gave up the ghost, I decided to upgrade to a Meater+. Very, very glad I did.Let me get the "cons" out first.- Firstly, this a big probe -- it will leave a sizeable hole in whatever you are cooking. If it is a beef rib roast or a whole chicken, you're absolutely fine. Duck breasts or smaller, I'd stick to something more traditional. That said, the Meater is aimed at meats that take longer (i.e., you can walk away while it is cooking) -- so this is forgivable.- Next, water resistant not waterproof. You can clean it in the sink without worrying about ruining it, but if you're boiling a ham -- again, you need to stick to your more traditional probe. This was more of an issue for me, as it is genuinely a useful scenario for the Meater that I cannot use it for.- Expensive. I got it on a Black Friday sale and I still winced at the price. I got one probe for 3x the price of its 4-probe predecessor! I want another 2 of these now to cover my larger cooks, but I'll be buying them slowly over time.However, all these things can be forgiven with the pros that Meater+ brings. Firstly, the app is really nicely designed, super simple to use and set up. Initial setup did require me to "update my probe" which took close to 40 minutes, but once that was done, everything has been smooth sailing since. Select your meat type, the cut and your desired "doneness" and the rest is taken care of.I love the historical view of your cooks too. The app will save your data, showing you the ambient temperate and the internal temperature over the course of the cook. I can see where I opened the oven/BBQ and when/how long the meat was rested.Which takes me on to resting! Far and away the nicest feature is that the app predicts the resting temperature for you. It knows how fast the meat is warming up and your desired target temperature, so it will tell you to take the meat out of the oven to rest not AT the target temperature, but before it with a resting guideline, so that you have perfectly rested meat and the carryover heat has brought it to your perfect doneness. Sure, you can do all of that traditionally, but calculating it all properly requires far too much effort. Meater+ gives your meat that extra bit of finesse with ZERO effort on your part.Battery life and maintenance have all been super straightforward. I've done several long cooks, with no battery alerts and it is super easy to clean and put back in its bamboo-style charging station.In short, I love this little thing and will be purchasing a couple more. They are expensive though, there's no denying -- so I'd recommend for BBQ enthusiasts and home cooks that regularly cook large, expensive pieces of meat.

I have been wanting one of these for so long so took full advantage when they were on offer.Downloading and set up of the app is really easy, connecting via Bluetooth is also a doddle and you can be cooking in 5 minutes!The thermometer itself is literally just a metal stick on a wooden block (which requires batteries to charge the device) but don't let that put you off! The magic is inside and it really works wonders when cooking meat. I have done Pork, Beef Joints, Steak, Chicken and lots more and its been spot on every single time. I have even tested it with an older thermometer that I owned which is from another well known brand and they echo each other with temperatures.It can get a bit scary when first using if cooking a Sunday dinner for example for the app to give you a estimated finish time so you can plan your other dishes, but don't let that put you off, it does reveal it eventually and gives you plenty of time to get the other components ready for your meal. It also allows you the correct amount of time for resting which is also very accurate.The only thing that I do check is the UK recommended temperatures and programme them manually for my required temperate on some meats because I believe it's set for the American market, which is largely the same as ours but I think their pork is "ready" at a lower temperature than what we have in the UK, so it's worth keeping that in mind.It's also worth noting how high you can cook with the probe inserted, for example you are likely to damage it in a Pizza Oven at 900 degrees.The range is good but definitely not 50 metres so try not to be too far away.I would absolutely recommend this, so next time it's on a deal, try to get one!
