I'm giving this 5 stars because it's excellent for what it is—an economical upgrade to the original MEATER. I owned the first version, which lasted for years. When it finally broke, I was looking for a new model. It seems product development has diverged into two paths: one advancing thinner thermometers with greater heat resistance and cloud features, and the other focusing on maintaining the core features with slight hardware and software upgrades at a more affordable price. The MEATER SE follows this second path. The MEATER website and product detail pages don’t clearly differentiate the models, so it took some research to determine the differences. The MEATER SE was a good fit for my needs, so I opted for it over the more feature-rich units. It’s exactly what I was looking for, with updated software that remains as helpful as ever. Pros: *Affordability: Provides essential MEATER functionality at a lower price. *Improved Software: The app is updated and still highly user-friendly. Minor Cons: *Probe Sharpness: The probe isn’t quite as sharp as the original, making it a bit harder to insert into tough chicken or turkey skin. *Charger as Bridge: The charger now serves as a "bridge" between the probe and the app. In the original, the phone had to stay near the probe in the oven, or I'd get a message to move it closer. Now, the notification says to bring the charger closer. Moving some tech to the charger probably boosts the probe’s max ambient temperature, but I'm not entirely sure. Cooking Performance: When using this thermometer for high-temperature cooking, like Sara Moulton's "Blasted Chicken" method (baking at 480°F or as high as your oven will go until reaching 165°F internal temp), I noticed that the MEATER SE tends to overshoot the target slightly. For example, during the resting period, it sometimes goes up to 175°F after notifying me to remove the chicken. While not ideal, it's manageable, and the overall performance is still very reliable. Overall: The MEATER SE is a solid, no-frills choice that meets basic needs well. It’s an affordable upgrade with a few quirks but remains a great product for those who want reliable, straightforward performance without the extra features.

I had to install the app, when you do if your having problems syncing, make sure you are syncing the correct model, they look alot alike but there are difference. Once you sync it it's super easy to you and works really good. Also make sure the base is close to the probe when your cooking, the phone can be far away, but the closer the base, the better the connection. I love it!! I used it on the grill at temps if 450° and it didn't blink an eye. It was fine, no problem. Clean it each use to remove food. Make sure you charge before use. I've only used it 3 times and have had it for a week, the battery I never changed I suspect it'll be months before I need to do that. It's SUPER easy to read also, accurate and waterproof. I Def really like it. I don't leave too many reviews. This deserved it.

Great probe. Very accurate, the estimated time left is helpful. Great product.

Ordered one didn’t work for me but that’s not saying it doesn’t work for you

Excellent functionality and ease of use. Made an excellent Deistel Turkey. Kudos to the development team.

Listen, unless you’re going to sit next to your smoker outside the entire smoke then don’t buy this. It will lose connection to your phone if you walk about 5 feet away from the probe. The ad says 165’ which is a total scam. I even tried it doing a reverse sear in the oven, I walked to the couch and lost connection. It is 21’ away from the oven… please don’t waste your money like I did! Look into thermopro. They make one that has a wireless dock that you can carry with you and it never lost connection through a 14 hour smoke. It is not wireless like this one, however it does have the wireless dock that you can carry around. This meater is a joke

I’ve enjoyed the dual role of internal temperature of the meat with the added bonus of the ambient temperature mode. This allows me great control of the cooking experience.

Have the pro plus already but have been wanting a second one. This one works just as well with a plastic case vs the wood one. Perfect for the BBQ. Love the accurate cooking estimates that include rest times.

It’s user-friendly, highly accurate, and makes cooking meat effortless. The wireless design lets you monitor your food from a distance, giving you flexibility and control. Whether you're grilling or roasting, it delivers consistent, precise results, making it a must-have for any kitchen. Reliable and easy to use, it’s a top choice for anyone looking to perfect their cooking.

Leider von einem Amazon Zusteller in der Mülltonne deponiert worden und am nächsten Tag abgeholt worden???!!!! Muss ich neu bestellen

Such an easy thing to set up. 3 minutes after opening and cleaning and we were good to go. Does suggest charging for a few hours first but had no issues using straight out of the box. Accurate temperature reading and the app is great. It will tell you when to take the meat out which is before it reaches the desired temperature as the meat continues to cook after. Used multiple times and it's very sturdy and easy to clean. Great quality product. The charger is magnetic so it's now living on our fridge.

Il Meater è un prodotto veramente valido, sia nella sua facilità d'uso che nelle soluzioni che adotta. Si collega con l'app e ha una normale batteria AAA. Semplice ed efficaciassimo. Tramite app si ha il controllo dell'intero processo, è possibile collegare più meater. L'app, completa ma non complicata, fornisce tutte le indicazioni, i manuali e persino le ricette. Io ho inserito cosa stavo per cucinare e come (Tomhawk al forno) e il termometro si è impostato nei tempi e nelle temperature automaticamente (ovviamente i parametri sono in ogni momento variabili manualmente). Il livello di soddisfazione è altissimo anche dal punto di vista estetico. Consigliato

App works great, it’s very easy to use and the probe is easy to clean. I hope it works for a long time!
