MEATER Plus Smart Meat Thermometer, Honey, Bluetooth, 165ft, Grill & Oven | 165ft Bluetooth range for BBQ, grill, oven, smoker, air fryer, kitchen. Great for steak, chicken, turkey. Recipes in app.

The Good: The design is slick and well thought out. The app for the Meater works well and the accuracy is spot on. A green light flashes on the base if the thermoprobe is within range and connected. It flashes red if not. The app will tell you as well if you are connected. The base station will give you considerable more range than advertised, but see the next section for the caveats. The app also has settings to change the different alerts. You can only choose from their list of sounds which is considerably less than the full array you have on the iPhone, but still, there are four alarms and maybe 12 or so sounds to choose from. No need for too many. The initial settings were just fine for me. They have just updated the app to add all sorts of carnivorous delights you can cook with the probe. From venison to kangaroo. This is a nice addition as I often go in for antelope and other less common meats. The Bad: The instructions leave a little to be desired, but it is not hard to figure out unless you are the easily frustrated type. There is a card in the box for support and the website has support as well. The Meater + comes with a bamboo magnetic base for charging and storage and in the back it has a repeater to get to the 165' range it touts. The base (and I assume the basic Meater) must be within 33' of the base for ovens and some types of grills. For smokers it is much closer. That number is in the fine print. In the case of the Orion Cooker I have, I can get the base station to recognize the thermoprobe about 12' away, through the smoker and the window to the breakfast nook. The base station has to stay there so it can connect to the probe. Once connected the app can pick up the base station, and thus the probe) all over my house and considerably farther away than 165'. But if someone moves the base it might disconnect and then you won't get updates or alarms and you might overcook your meat. The Ugly There isn't much wrong with this unit and I do recommend it to others. That said, it is a bit misleading (or just obtuse writing) which will lead you to believe that you can just plop the probe in some meat and your phone will pick it up all over the house. I read several reviews (and one YouTube video) that slammed the Meater for the short range despite the fact it is in the literature and on their site. It is probably not as prominent as it should be, but think about it, how can a little probe hold a battery, two thermoresitors, and an antennae and get 165' range? Not with today's tech I fear. Maybe when the Federation is founded. Either way, if they were a bit clearer about that for the Meater and instructions to first remove the probe before using the app. My guess is those who had issues already had the app open and so the probe paired with the phone and they didn't get the range they desired. Some Pointers If you turn on the app then remove the probe, the probe will connect to the app/phone and your range is now 33' (10' for a smoker). What is not said is that you have to fully exit and quit the app (swipe up on Apple), then remove the probe which causes it to pair with the base. Then open the app and your phone will pair with the base. Place the base where it is still flashing green when the probe is in the meat and the lid shut. Now you can use it all over the place. The app will show if it is connected properly and if it is not. I didn't notice where an alarm would sound if the base and probe stop syncing. If it doesn't have one that would be a nice addition. A nice loud one that vibrates as well. Wish list They make a basic Meater with four probes, which is a great idea if you are smoking different meats at the same time, or maybe just using the smoker, the grill, and the oven at the same time. I wish they had something like that for the Meater +. I assume it will come out at some point. Then again, I rarely would need more than one as I'm not running a restaurant. Also, I wish the magnets on the back were a bit stronger. For some reason my fridge it will slip down a few inches before attracting to some metal large enough for it to grab onto. Other kitchen items like the pot rack and microwave side have the same issues. I just think the weight of the base, battery, and probe are too much for the magnets to support. Bottom line, great unit, does what it says (even if you didn't read all it says). Just remember to remove the probe from the base first before opening the app or your range will be that of the basic Meater.

Food is perfectly cooked every time we use this thermometer. Even after four years of use, it is a wonderful device. We’ve only had to replace the batteries twice. The readings are accurate, as long as you follow the directions. I couldn’t imagine a more durable or quality thermometer. Highly recommend for both the backyard BBQer and the inside pot roast chef.

I rarely write reviews, but believe this product is so outstanding I had to "sing it's praises. This "smoking/grilling" thermometer is, without a doubt, one of the best tools available for keeping tabs on your BBQ/grilling/smoking "cooks". I just received my "Meater+" thermometer 4 days ago and did my first cook (Boston butt) two days after it arrived. I will say, that I did a lot of research before making this purchase and as usual, there were some negative comments. I believe many of the negative comments are due to people not setting the Meater+ up correctly, especially where it concerns the " Meater+ "App". I had no problem at all setting up the thermometer. Once you are ready to begin using the thermometer, open the app and follow the step-by-step directions to get everything going. One of the criticisms I read concerning the app was that the thermometer kept losing its connection to the "repeater" block. This is actually the charging station and case in which you keep the Meater. The charging station must stay close to the probe for it to say connected (Bluetooth). I set the the Block right next to the grill, about 3 feet away. When setting up the Meater, be sure to pair the probe and bluetooth connection FIRST. Then open the "app" and the smart phone (or tablet) will pair with the "repeater" and give you the ability to monitor your cook from some distance, depending, of course, on what the obstruction is between you and the grill. With the "Meater" you can monitor the ambient temperature, the temperature of your meat, an estimate of when the the cook will be done and you can either use a programed cook or set up your own custom parameters. The app will log the cook and display a graph of temp fluctuations. and allows you to make notes concerning your cook. The app is one of the best, most well thought out apps I have seen. I also monitored the temperatures with my Thermo Pro wired thermometer. The ambient temp reading was within 5 degrees throughout the entire cooking process (keep in mind the probes were not in the exact same location). The internal temp of the meat varied by as much as 20 degrees. This could also be due to the probes of the thermometers being in different "densities" within the meat. I believe the accuracy of the Meater+ is spot on. If one would like to read a review of the Meater+ written by a professional "griller" go to "foodfirefriends.com. And no, I did not receive any compensation for writing this review.

My husband bought me the original Meater for Christmas a few years ago, and I returned it since the range was poor and it didn't work inside most of my appliance. I have since bought the Meater Plus and I love it. Although some of my appliance have built in probes, some of them don't. Although I do have an Instant Read probe that I still use to verify doneness of proteins, the Meater Plus is so much easier to use and you don't have to constantly check the food so it doesn't get over or undercooked. I am an experienced cook, but as you know foods can look done on the outside, but you can't see how well done they are on the inside. This Meater Plus is the perfect solution for perfectly cooked proteins and other foods. So what do I love about the Meater Plus? 1 - It works using an app that can be downloaded for either phones or tablets using Android or IOS operating systems. 2 - It easily connects using Bluetooth and the Meater cloud through your router. 3 - In the app settings, you can set your preferences for the various alarms. 4 - When a done temperature preference is set in the app for a cook, the app will let you know when the food is done, and allow for a resting period when the temperature will increase. So, for example, if you want a medium rare steak and set the temperature for 130 degrees, the app will tell you the steak is done at 125 degrees and allow for a 5 minute resting period that the temperature will increase to 130 degrees. This means perfectly done proteins every time. 5 - You can choose a preset in the app, and then modify it to your preference. 6 - This probe works well to monitor food inside any oven and even in cookers like the Ninja Speedi, Ninja grills, and pressure cookers. 7 - Cooking progress can be monitored wherever you can take your phone or tablet in the house. You don't have to stay in the kitchen. 8- Works with rotisseries where wired probes aren't practical. 9 - Can be connected to Alexa for notifications. 10 - The base unit is powered by an "A" battery, and pressing a button lets you know if the battery is still good. The probe is charged in the base unit. 11 - The base unit is magnetized so it can be stored on the side of any metal appliance. This means not having to find it in a cabinet or drawer. I have two of these, and keep them on the side of my Anova oven so they are always handy. I have used this Meater Plus in my ovens, the Ninja Speedi, and in my pressure cookers with great results. I have the app on my phone, and can take my phone in the family room while I watch TV and still monitor the progress of my food cooking. I also like the display of the ambient temperature. This tells you whether your oven is actually getting to the temperature you set it to. In my experience, many ovens never reach the temperature you set, so trying to estimate when your food will be cooked is all guesswork. The Meater Plus takes the guesswork out of cooking. Once you set a done temperature, the app estimates when your food will be fully cooked. This make is so much easier to make sure all of the other components of your meal will be done and hot at the same time. No matter how experienced you are in cooking, there is always a certain amount of guesswork in knowing when foods are cooked to the preferred doneness. The Meater Plus eliminates some of the guesswork. I should also mention that the range of the Meater Plus is greater if you remove the probe from the holder before opening the app. This was mentioned by one other reviewer. UPDATE 11/14/24: I purchased 2 of these Meaters 2 years ago and I still love them. As mentioned previously, the probe should be removed from the charger before opening the app to increase the range of the probes. In the last 2 years, I have used these probes in a few ovens and pressure cookers as well as outdoor ovens and smokers. I have never been disappointed with the performance of these probes. What I love about the Meater is:: 1) The charging units for the probes are magnetic. So, I can store them on the side of an oven where they are kept handy. 2) The app is so easy to use. Choose a meat you want to cook to get suggested internal temperatures for your choice, and still have the ability to modify the done temperature. You can also add and save your preferred temperatures for the meats you are cooking. 3) The app allows for carryover temperatures, so the app will say the food is done when it is 5 degrees less than the chosen temperature. 4) Whether cooking indoors or outdoors, I can monitor the progress of my cook inside and on the phone app. 5) The app tells you the ambient temperature of the oven or grill you are using. So, you know if the temperature is actually the temperature you set. 6) My favorite is that the app calculates the time it will take to finish cooking, and this estimate has been spot on. For me, this is important since I try to get sides for the meal done at the same time so everything is hot for serving. I should mention that I also have a couple sets of "wireless" meat thermometers that the probes are attached to wires that must be connected to the base unit. The base unit connects to an app on my phone. Although these meat thermometers work fine and are color coded so you know where each probe is monitoring, the wires get tangled when using 2-4 of them. These meat thermometers are much easier since they are truly wireless. I tries another set of wireless meat thermometers and sent them back because they kept losing the connection. By the time I was able to reconnect them, the meat was over done. The Meater Plus is the way to go. Unfortunately, the Meater block is not the plus version, nor is the block magnetic to stick on the side of an appliance. This Meater Plus works great and I plan to stay with it until they develop a set that works as well. Incidentally, I am back to buy another one. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update this review if my opinion changes or I find more ways to use it.

Mostly awesome but two flaws. When this thermometer works, it is simply amazing. The app shows super useful information. It really is a game changer for cooking meat properly. However, there are two flaws: (1) there is no battery level indicator. Nothing more frustrating than going for the cook to find out mid-cook that your battery is dead. It would be great if there was some level indicator on the block itself. The only solution I have to this is to change the battery on a set schedule, which isn’t optimal because I throw away batteries that may still be good. The second problem (2) is that the connection is hit or miss. There has to be a better way to show connection to your phone. As it stands now, you open the app, remove the thermometer from its base…and hope. Most of the time it connects quickly sometimes it doesn’t. WHY? It’s so frustrating. Every time I have the thermometer and base right next to my phone. With all that being said, once it is working with sufficient charge, it’s awesome and a game changer. They could improve it though.

Used this on a brisket cook and was impressed with how accurate the readings were throughout, internal and ambient temps tracked closely with how the meat actually looked and felt. The app's graph made it easy to watch the stall and know exactly when to wrap. Bluetooth connection stayed solid the whole time, even monitoring from another room. Battery easily lasted through the full 8-hour cook with charge to spare. Build quality feels solid and well-made. For what you get, it's a great value, does everything I need without the bloat of pricier options. Great tool for anyone doing long smokes.

Great device. Cooked a whole prime rib and it was done perfectly. It took the guess work and worry out of cooking a $300.00 cut of meat.

When it worked, it was fantastic. Real time temperature readings and accuracy were exactly what I wanted. I understand why my son raves about his more expensive dual probe model. BUT... 1. The base needed to be extremely close to the probe to pick up the signal, and when it lost signal it took significant time to get back in sync. I ended up having to place the base on top of my Weber kettle, which was not optimal. 2. It eats batteries. And there was no low battery indicator. Not fun to be replacing battery when you are needing to put the meat on the grill. 3. It quit working entirely 13 months after purchase. I estimate that I only used it about 50 times.

Great thermometer and like the wireless function which is useful. Use this often for bbq and cooking meats and styles.

Birkez kullandım memnun kaldım inşallah uzun yıllar kullanırım.

Regalato ai miei genitori per Natale, l'abbiamo testato subito con un arrosto di maiale, cotto alla perfezione. L'oggetto è veramente minimale ma elegante, a differenza di altri termometri analogici, sembra una penna a sfera. La custodia di ricarica in legno è anch'essa elegante e leggera, trasferisce la carica al termometro tramite batteria di tipo AA (stilo), ovviamente cambiabile. L'app consente un'abbinamento molto veloce tra smartphone e termometro (in realtà quello che viene abbinato è la custodia di ricarica), è anche abbastanza intuitiva nell'uso, magari leggermente migliorabile sotto questo punto di vista, ma nel complesso molto buona. In estrema sintesi: si inserisce il termometro nella pietanza che si vuole cucinare al forno, si seleziona la tipologia in app (carne, pesce etc), il taglio (per esempio filetto, costata etc) e si sceglie il tipo di cottura desiderata. Se il taglio o la tipologia non è presente nella lista, si seleziona manualmente la temperatura desiderata. Dopodichè si infila in forno e ce ne si dimentica: l'app monitora la temperatura attuale, la temperatura target e la temperatura del forno. Quando si sta per raggiungere la temperatura target, avvisa di spegnere e lasciare riposare il cibo, sempre con la sonda inserita. Noi abbiamo cucinato 2 kg di maiale, taglio coppa, con temperatura interna impostata manualmente a 85 gradi. Arrivati a 80 gradi, l'app ci ha consigliato di togliere la carne dal forno e lasciarla riposare 20 minuti (ovviamente l'app mostra il timer relativo), sempre con termometro inserito. Dopo 20 minuti la temperatura interna è infatti arrivata a 85, carne cotta alla perfezione, pronta per essere tagliata e gustata. Il prezzo sicuramente non è "popolare", ma oltre all'aspetto "tecnologico" il fatto di non dover aprire mai il forno durante la cottura come invece spesso deve avvenire con i termometri analogici (semplicemente per controllare la temperatura raggiunta) è sicuramente un vantaggio
