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

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.

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 Time The 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 App The 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 Heat Unlike 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 It Okay, 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 Trouble I 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!

Great product! It keeps me current on my grill's or oven's temperature while following the internal temperature of the item being cooked. The cook time estimate is fairly accurate, helping with preparing the rest of the meal.

I was initially pretty concerned about the low ratings for connectivity. Also compared to other platforms, the Meater 2 seems pretty pricy. I think I paid more the Meater 2 than I did for my Meater of about 1 year ago? However, its the only thermometer in its class, that I have been able to find, that will handle up to 1000 deg F. I cook a lot of Pork tenderloin, and unless I sear first, then go full indirect, the Meater 1 thermometer gets too hot...so for me, the high temp rating on the Meater 2 is definitely a desired characteristic. So got my Meater 2 this past weekend and decided to check connectivity before my return window shut...I pulled out the probe, set up my phone with it (was an easy process), put the probe in an empty tomato paste filled with water on my grill and set up a custom 'cook'...things looked good for about 10 minutes, but eventually the amplifier (bamboo case) seemed to disconnect from my phone (I was only about 20' away, sliding glass door and typical drywall & siding construction between me and my grill) I had some trouble getting it reconnected. After opening the back looking for a reset button...I noticed the 'Toshiba' AAA battery in it...I started wondering about the battery, so I pulled it and checked it in a small battery checker I have. It did register green, about mid-green, so technically still good (sorry all, I probably should have used a multi meter to get actual voltage) but I thought humm, its only 1.5 volts, maybe I should try a super fresh battery...its cold outside, maybe its just slightly low. So I did, found another AAA with slightly higher green rating ~3/4 green and put it in...connectivity again. I put the amplifier a number of different locations around my grill - with lid closed, it stayed connected...eventually walked out to my Garage...~40' away, another door and dry wall in between, but still stayed connected. I ended up grilling a large bone in turkey breast later, about a 2.5 hour cook, and it stayed connected. SO, if you have a Meater 2 and have connection issues...try replacing the battery first with a brand new high quality AAA battery...I bought a set of Energizer Max's just for this thermometer. So for now, I am pretty happy with the Meater 2...rated 4 'cause I am not certain the new battery was/is the connection issue and, its expensive, and, I haven't tested the connection above ~400 deg. But, I will update if I have issues in the future.

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.

ive had it ten days less than a full year. i am less than thrilled. between the horrible charging, the buggy app, the constant wail of notifications if you aren't screen on display the entire time draining battery. and the high cost of a SINGLE PROBE. sometimes it seems like i lost money in the time and food this thing let me down on and ruined. yeah ok, maybe i got to comfortable walking away from the smoker so i didn't have to stand there some of the fault is on me, the other is the marketing that makes one believe this will save u time to do other things. but keep in mind your phone has to be super close, to the probe and don't use your phone at all or walk away or answer a phone call or respond to a text. hell don't fall asleep with notifications on but didn't set perimeters in cook to notify you in dropping temp to nothing. oh it has those settings? yous think with the 30000 notifications this thing sends one would have been you have no temp! UPSET!? of course you think you like it, you may need it, itll save u time. no it doesn't... get your own thermo temp, use your default smokers, get a manual one. NOT WORTH THE ONE THIRTY I PAID. now they have sets of more than 1, they didn't when i got mine, and boy when do you smoke or cook just one piece of meat? almost never. more than one would've been nice but i would be even more salty with its price considering how awful and buggy they work. and this things "smart" calculations take an absorbent amount of time so you may as well guess your own self. take away? easy to clean, hard to charge, doesnt hold charge as long as u need to, app difficult to use, too pricey, super irritating app/connection. gift idea? please don't UPDATE1: doesn't even hold a charge any longer than 2 hours, cant smoke anything in that time really. it dies, u have to remove it and put it on charge, then re stick the meat, throwing off any progress done by app. your chart is all over the place. defeats its whole purpose. really disappointing product

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!

Cette sonde de température est une merveille. L'application Fonctionne très bien Avec beaucoup de possibilités J'ai effectué quelques cuissons de viande rouge et le résultat Impeccable. C'est vrai que c'est cher, mais la qualité est au rendez vous.
