Pro Smart Meat Thermometer, Honey, Bluetooth, 1000°F, Long Range

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 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.

After extensive use of this wireless meat thermometer system, I've come away deeply frustrated by what could have been an excellent cooking tool, hampered by fundamental connectivity issues that severely impact its core functionality.The concept is brilliant in its simplicity: a temperature probe connects to a base station, which then relays real-time temperature data to your smartphone via Bluetooth. This should allow you to monitor your food from anywhere within Bluetooth range, ensuring perfect doneness whether you're smoking a brisket or grilling steaks. The accompanying app provides target temperatures for different types of meat and desired doneness levels, which is genuinely helpful for both novice and experienced cooks.However, the execution falls woefully short due to one critical flaw: persistent Bluetooth connectivity issues. The system frequently disconnects from the phone, requiring a complete reset of the probe to reestablish connection. This isn't just an occasional annoyance – it happens with maddening regularity, often multiple times during a single cooking session. Imagine checking your phone to see how your expensive prime rib is progressing, only to find the connection dropped 20 minutes ago, leaving you completely in the dark about your meat's current temperature.What makes this particularly frustrating is that these disconnections seem to occur without any clear pattern. They can happen when you're well within the stated Bluetooth range, with no obvious interference sources nearby. Even having everything within a couple feet of each other makes no difference. I've ruined a number of expensive steaks by missing a pull time not realizing the probe disconnected again. I should be focusing on cooking tasks and instead I am constantly fiddling with hardware that should just work. This is a temperature probe after all, about as unitary as it gets in function.The market clearly recognizes this as a significant issue. Competitor products now specifically advertise their superior connectivity solutions, with some moving away from Bluetooth entirely in favor of more reliable technologies. The abundance of similar complaints across user reviews suggests this isn't just a few defective units – it's a fundamental design flaw.When the system works, it works well. The temperature readings are accurate, the probe is durable enough to withstand high heat, and the app interface is intuitive. The base station's build quality is solid, and the probe wires are adequately protected for their intended use. But these positive attributes are overshadowed by the reliability issues.The manufacturer's response to these widespread complaints has been disappointing. While they offer troubleshooting steps, these amount to little more than "reset and try again" – a temporary fix for a permanent problem. The underlying Bluetooth connectivity issues remain unaddressed through multiple firmware updates.For a product designed to provide peace of mind during cooking, it instead introduces an additional layer of stress. The constant need to check if the connection is still active defeats the purpose of having a wireless monitoring system in the first place. Whether you're an amateur cook or a seasoned pitmaster, you deserve better reliability from a tool that's supposed to make your life easier.Price-wise, this probe sits in the premium category, making its fundamental flaws even harder to swallow. While no technology is perfect, this level of unreliability is unacceptable at any price point, let alone a premium one.Recommendations for the manufacturer would be to either completely revamp their wireless connectivity system or switch to a more reliable technology altogether. Until then, potential buyers should seriously consider alternative products that prioritize connection stability over feature bloat.Bottom line: Despite its potential and solid build quality, this temperature probe system fails at its primary task – providing reliable, continuous temperature monitoring. The persistent connectivity issues make it difficult to recommend when more reliable alternatives exist in the market. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere for your wireless meat thermometer needs.

As a seasoned grill enthusiast, I’ve tried my fair share of meat thermometers. But let me tell you, the Meater 2 probe is in a league of its own. It’s not just a kitchen gadget; it’s a culinary companion that elevates your cooking game to Michelin-star levels.🔥 Accurate Readings, Every TimeThe Meater 2 doesn’t play games when it comes to precision. Whether you’re grilling a juicy ribeye or slow-smoking a brisket, this little wonder delivers spot-on temperature readings. No more guesswork—just perfectly cooked meat, every single time.📱 Savvy Smartphone AppThe Meater app (available for iPhone and Android) is like having a personal sous chef. It guides you through the entire cooking process, from preheat to resting. Set your desired doneness, and the app alerts you when it’s time to pull your masterpiece off the grill. It’s like having Gordon Ramsay whispering cooking secrets in your ear (minus the expletives).💪 Built to Withstand the HeatUnlike some wimpy thermometers that crumble under pressure, the Meater 2 can handle serious heat—up to a scorching 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Whether you’re searing steaks or channeling your inner dragon, this probe won’t flinch. It’s practically indestructible.💸 Pricey but Worth ItOkay, let’s address the elephant in the room: the Meater 2 isn’t cheap. But quality comes at a cost, my friends. Think of it as an investment in your culinary prowess. Plus, you won’t need to replace it after a measly dozen cooks (side-eye at the TempSpike). This bad boy is here for the long haul.🎉 Double TroubleI loved my first Meater 2 so much that I bought a second one. Now I can monitor multiple cuts of meat simultaneously—because why settle for one perfectly cooked steak when you can have two?In summary: If you’re serious about grilling, smoking, or roasting, the Meater 2 probe is your secret weapon. It’s like having a culinary Jedi by your side, ensuring your meat emerges from the flames with Jedi-level precision. May the grill be with you!

The probe is inside of the third turkey leg in the middle if you look closely. I’ve been using MEATER devices since 2021 maybe 2020 I believe and I find them invaluable. I really appreciate the one when they brought in decimal values.This is my 3rd MEATER DEVICE THE ONE PREVIOUS, WHICH WAS THE FIRST TO HAVE DECIMAL VALUES LITERALLY ONLY LASTED A YEAR. Apologies for the caps , accidentally hit caps lock, but I’m not gonna correct it lol. Back to the durability will have to see with this second one I particularly like like them for large cooks like briskets where I can tell I’m sorry briskets and prime rib also. There, I find it completely invaluable since I want to nail precisely medium.A tip I learned during this that most professional Chefs know. You don’t cook up to the temperature you desire because there’s a 10 sometimes 15° after cook affect that takes so whatever temperature you desire to cook to you should pull it off 10 to 15° before it reaches that temperature. For things like briskets and beef ribs you’re actually trying to cook those into the 200s this doesn’t apply technically.

Don’t get a Bluetooth but get a Wi-Fi. It’s much more efficient and works better.

I tested this on a chuck roast I was attempting to slow cook, or "low and slow" as the chefs like to say. The device performed beautifully and taught me some lessons.First, I was using an induction cooktop that regulated the temperature of the pan, so the Meater just confirmed that the cooktop was accurate.Second, my chuck roast took too long and I had to add more broth and water, and increase the temperature to get dinner ready on time. When I added water above the outside end of the Meater, it stopped working, and I realized that the water was shorting out the antenna. So, you have to keep the outside end out of water.Third, to cook the meat medium-well-done, you only cook until the internal temperature is 165°, and using the Meater I was able to see that happen after only 1 hour out of 5 hours I planned to slow-cook the roast. I was following instructions in recipes, but it's obvious the slow-cook temperature would have to be less than 165°. If you slow-cook at 180°, the meat will be well-done, or very-well-done because the internal temperature will exceed the 165° given the long cook time. Duh!

If I could give this no stars I would.I've been using my Meater 2 Plus for about a year and a half. Today for my cook I'm fed up and done with this thing due to connection issues. Let me explain...I have used it in a Traeger Ironwood 650, Weber gas grill, and my oven at home. I mostly use it on the Traeger. I have the probe in the meat and the base located about a foot and a half away from the probe...specifically, on the Traeger pellet hopper top. I have an iPad Mini that's located about 20' from the Traeger. And then I have an Android Pixel phone. The Meater Plus *constantly* loses connection. I go out there, take the probe out of the meat and back in the base, take the probe out, back in the base, reset the iPad, take the battery out of the base....and this cycle goes on until it finally decides to start working. Mind you, my probe is in meat. It's not in foil. It's sticking straight up out of the meat. On the iPad's bluetooth connection, it shows it being connected to the Meater. But in the Meater app it says no connection.Trying to configure this thing was a huge pain as well. I wanted the Meater to sync/communicate with the iPad. Then have the iPad sync the data to the cloud, then have my Android phone read the cloud. Well, again, this sometimes works and mostly doesn't. When you start the app on the Android, it wants to set it up like a new probe. Thanks, but I want it to read the data from the cloud. No way to bypass this.When it works, I will say it works FANTASTIC. It's very accurate. It notifies you when to pull the meat off and takes into account the resting period. But I've just had absolutely HORRIBLE issues with the connection and setup where I wouldn't give the company more money.Today was the last straw with this goofy thing. I'm sick and tired of seeing the 'Communication Lost' message, then having to go out there and pull the probe and play with it until it works. I'm going to replace this with the competitor and hope it works.

I've had a few different meat thermometers now. This is the first to keep working and not pack up. It does its job very well and the app is really easy to use. Having a disposable battery in the base unit works well and the charge on the probe lasts ages - happily does an 8 hour brisket cook for me and would go on longer I think. I am very pleased with the temperature monitoring and the overall way this thermometer does it's job. Recommend strongly.

Perfect. Geen gedoe meer met draadjes en doet precies wat het moet doen

Constantly loses connection mid cook and the range is awful. Disappointed does not cover it and is very missed the refund window !

This is what meat is meant to taste like!
