I've used wired temperature probes for YEARS now, and never had an issue until recently, where the transceiver units (the devices that receive the input from the probes and transmit it to the temperature control device) actually melted, causing my cook to become a charred, blackened mass of carbon. I decided to look for wireless probes, but found there were SO many on the market it was hard to know what separated the good ones from the Chinese knock-off junk. I eventually found the original Meater probe, but wasn't all that impressed. Next I ran across the Meater block, and was tempted, but just didn't need to pay for 4 probes. I actually had another brand in my card when I finally ran across the Meater 2PLUS. It took a couple of days of deciding between the other brand and Meater 2+, but I eventually went with Meater, and I'm glad I did. First, I LOVE the simplistic yet very attractive charging station. The app seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but during even the first use I got entirely comfortable with how it worked, and now find it very intuitive and helpful. The probes themselves are good. VERY good, in fact. As long as you follow the very simple usage rules you'll get excellent results every time, in a number of cooking mediums. Thus far I've used the Meater 2+ in these cooking mediums: Deep Fry; Sous Vide; Oven roasting; Grilling; Smoker. The probes worked exceptionally well in each. I was MOST surprised with the smoker, however. As much as I cook, and as much as I LIKE to cook, my smoker has defied my best efforts for some time now. I just couldn't seem to get the right combination of time, heat, and internal temperature to produce something I could be happy with. With the Meater 2+ probe, that kind of all went away. By knowing the real-time ambient and internal temperatures, I could finally manage the smoker settings to produce a cut of meat that was fully cooked, tender, and LOADED with the goodness that comes from smoking. That one experience convinced me that the Meater 2+ was the thing I needed to elevate my cooks to the next level and beyond. I highly recommend the Meater 2+. This firm offers basically three different variations - the original Meater - a good, but somewhat limited version 1 product. Then there's the Meater Block - 4 probes with enhanced connectivity, but basically the same functionality as the original Meater. Finally, the Meater 2+ that offers both connectivity methods, plus more sensors in the probes themselves that offer a much improved insight into your cook. For example: I recently smoked a pork loin, using 2 Meather 2+ probes at each end of the cook. I found some pronounced temperature variations between the two ends of the loin, and was able to figure out there were marked temperature variations in the heating zones of my smoker. The Meater 2+ probes were able to give me the insight I needed to make the adjustments that would result in an evenly cooked/smoked pork loin. (By the way, Pecan smoke yields an absolutely delicious pork roast!). I learned that the temperature probe built into my smoker averaged a +6 degree variance from the Meater 2+ probes, meaning that my cook would have been severely undercooked had I relied on it. By deciding to rely exclusively on the Meater probes, my Pork Loin roast came out tender, juicy, and totally delicious. Best ever results I've gotten from my smoker. Again, I highly recommend the Meater 2+ temperature probes to get the best information back for your cook.

I had the original meater and it left alot to be desired. It would frequently lose connection with my phone and when it did, there was no indication that it did. You would assume it was still at the last temperature. Secondly it died on me just 6 months later and meaters customer service wouldnt help me or even provide so much as discount to buy a new one. I was reluctant to buy the meater 2, because of that bad experience. There are many types of bluetooth thermometers now and some less expensive. I actually had the opportunity to beta test the Ninja. Almost all of the new thermometers, thanks to the latest Bluetooth technology are pretty darn good and accurate. What sets Meater apart and worth the extra money is its higher temperature rating, its thin design, its battery life and its app. It really makes cooking a simple process. I've only used it a couple of times now, so I cant judge its long term use. Im hoping it lasts way longer than my first one. Compared to the others out there, this is leaps and bounds over the competition, worth any small premium you might pay for serious cooks. If you're on a budget, really any of the new ones that have bluetooth 5.2 will do just fine but youll be giving up some serious quality differences.

I've used this for several months and I've been annoyed by it in multiple different ways each time. Firstly, the fact that the stationary base is battery powered and not even rechargeable is baffling. It is impressive that the base and probe are maintained by the AAA battery for so long and the probe is recharged via the same battery, but beyond that, I would much rather prefer a powered base where I don't need to worry about keeping AAA batteries around for. The probe is extremely slow, it's not an instant read thermometer and its still FAR slower than an old mercury or standard thermometer. It takes OVER an hour for the ambient temperature to read anything remotely close to what the actual cooking temp was over 30 minutes ago... To compound that, the ETAs it provides are completely fabricated and only lure you into a false sense of the remaining time, it's typically off massive margins. For example with ribs, even though it may be sitting in a smoker at 250f, it will claim the ambient temp is 140f(after an hour into the cook), far lower than the 205f target, yet still give an ETA of 45 minutes even though it will nearly always be a 4+ hour cook. If it was creating an ETA based off of the facts that it believes are true, the ETA would be infinite in that case as it wouldn't be possible to bring the food to the proper temp if the ambient temp was that low, therefor it must have some sort of code written specifically to take wild stabs in the dark based on the type of cook it is. The Meater app alarms are astonishingly annoying, which is understandable if something requires your attention for stuff like "Take the food off heat" notifications, but it does it for everything and anything. Did the ETA change? It spam an alarm, vibration, and notification every couple of seconds until you open the app and acknowledge the notification. It treats every little notification as if it's a dire emergency and it's a huge drain on my phone battery to cook with this thing from the abundant useless notifications alone. Food I've cooked with this has ALWAYS been overcooked, no exceptions. It will try to predict when to remove food from heat in hopes that it will hit your target during the resting period, but usually this happens when it's 1-2 degrees before the target temp and the app will still gladly tell me that the food actually went 10-15f higher than the target every time during the rest period. If you want to cook food right, you are required to disobey the app. Lastly, my meater Pro 2 Plus is already broken. I purchased at the beginning of August 2024, and on September 1st I had noticed that it disconnected during a cook. I've used this maybe 15 times since I've purchased it and it's already garbage. The probe only has maybe 10-15 minutes of battery life on each use now. I have tried replacing the AAA battery in the base, thoroughly cleaned the probe to ensure good clean electrical contact between the probe and the base so it can recharge, and come today, I start another cook only for it to disconnect and become completely useless in less than 15 minutes into the cook. I was naive enough to also buy my Dad one of these for Father's Day, and come to find out, he also used his once and immediately hated it and just didn't tell me until I had mentioned mine failed. Huge waste of money, but at least I know how low the bar can be when it comes to wireless thermometers, I have joy knowing that the next one I purchase will at least not have as many faults as this one has.

The MEATER makes grilling so much easier! The wireless design and long Bluetooth range let me monitor cooking from anywhere in the house, and the app’s guided cook system ensures perfect results every time. Highly recommend for hassle-free grilling. The probe is a perfect size, and easy to clean also.

Increíble medidor de temperatura de cocción de Carnes. Recomendado ampliamente para todo tipo de Carnes. Recomiendo comprar el que trae cuando -4, porque si cocinas Steakes individuales, varían en los tamaños y puede el resultado no ser el óptimo Super recomendable

impeccable

Play Video A parte il prezzo, naturalmente, non posso ancora trovare difetti a questo tetmometro... Abbastanza veloce nell'aggiornare le temperature, velocissimo e veramente stabile nella connessione, anche dentro al forno, sonda sottile, resistente fino a 500 gradi... Batteria che si può cambiare (quindi meno obsolescenza programmata, anche se resta la sonda ad avere una batteria interna...). Cinque sensori sul corpo della sonda oltre a quello per la temperatura ambiente: anche se non sapete bene quale sia "il cuore" della carne, la sonda vi darà comunque tutte e cinque le temperature e si baserà comunque si quella più bassa per i calcoli. Ottimo! Avrei preferito, per il prezzo, un legno meno "sostenibile" ma più bello da vedere... Una pecca software, peraltro penso facilmente risolvibile: se impostate la temperatura della carne, per esempio, a 50 gradi per averla al sangue, la sonda fermerà la cottura a quella temperatura, ma nel periodo di riposo, specie se il taglio è grosso, la temperatura crescerà fino a 54 e oltre... Fin qui tutto regolare, ma sarebbe corretto che venisse calcolato anche questo aumento della temperatura, al momento del settaggio del grado di cottura... Come nota personale, con fiorentine da 1.3kg, io imposto 50 gradi e arrivo alla fine a 54 e sono perfettamente al sangue.

MEATER 2 Plus - keine angst vor zu hoher Hitze - soll bis 500Grad funktioniere. Suchte ein kabelloses Thermometer. Zwar nicht ganz so günstig aber hoffe es hält sehr lange. Dann ist es sein Geld wert. Die Reichweite völlig ausreichend. Die Verbindung sofort hergestellt. Die Angaben und einfache Bedienung als auch die Informationen im Fleisch als auch vor dem Fleisch /also die ankommende Hitze macht das grillen um ein vielfaches leichter und man lernt vieles hinzu. Bis jetzt, ob Hähnchen oder Kotlett, beides perfekt geworden. Familie war begeistert. Es ist zudem spannend was im Fleich während des grillens passiert und zum Schluss wird noch die Ruhezeit (nachgaren) angezeigt. Für einen Anfänger eine tolle Hilfe und verleit einem Sicherheit. Wenns im Grill zu heiß ist, hat man schnell alles korrigiert. Tolle Erfindung, tolles Produkt - kann ich weiterempfehlen.
