MEATERPro / 2 Plus: Smart Bluetooth Wireless Meat Thermometer Digital | Lab-Certified Accuracy | Oven, Grill, Smoker, Air Fryer, BBQ, & Kitchen Cooking | Easy-to-Use with Free App

I thought it was maybe a little expensive but I bit the bullet and wow, what an amazing bit of kit. This cooks it perfect every time.

Worked absolutely fine. I had no problems with losing signal throughout the cooking time of approximately 3 hours as I smoked a roast. This is unlike some reviews of complaints about losing the Bluetooth signal. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Convenient as you don’t have to keep probing your meat.Accurate and it stores your previous cooks.Not had this long and to be fair I can’t find anything to criticise.

Excellent product perfectly cooked

I bought the meater pro 2 as I’d seen them a few years ago and thought I’d leave it until they improved them hence the pro 2, wrong decision! Nice marketing nice looking product and setup was a cinch that’s where it stops! The probe, block and phone constantly loses connection unless you stand over it like right over it!! Risky when there’s £80 worth of meat on the line! Had to result back the trusty £10 pen style probe and check that way which completely defeated the object of “completely worry free to do other things”, tried it a second time with a big ham joint in the egg as soon as the lid went down no connection with my phone and block on the shelf literally a foot away! If one thing it did do well and I’d say very well was raise your temper to searing point! So Mr meater I think your R&D team should look into designing a chefs temper gauge as wearable to go with the meater, could call it a teater because after any dealing with such an expensive useless gadget your teatering on the edge of losing it, avoid this piece of crap at all costs!!

accurate due to multiple versions. Thinner is more convenient with some cuts

I've had this for nearly a year now, having bought it to help me get used to cooking with a smoker, so there's been quite a learning curve for me. The app was easy to set up and I had no issues pairing the probe with my phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max). The app is user-friendly and has quite a lot of recipes with step-by-step instructions which can be very useful if you're a novice. Bit annoying that it's not rechargeable, but the battery does last ages and I haven't changed it yet.In my experience the thermometer is very accurate at measuring internal temperature and the settings for rare, medium, etc in the app are spot on. The ambient temperature readings can be a bit questionable (sometimes 10C below what I'd expect), but this may be due to the probe getting covered in smoke soot/marinade/etc and being impaired slightly. To be fair, this doesn't affect the accuracy of the internal temp readings.The main issue I've had is the connection between the probe and the base. It can be really flakey and disconnect sometimes for no discernible reason. Luckily I haven't had any cooks ruined, but it is annoying when this happens and doesn't reconnect automatically. A couple of times I've had to remove the probe mid-cook, shut down the app, and start again. Not ideal if you're trying to get on with other things while your meat is meant to be cooking away, low-maintenance! Doesn't happen very often, but enough to knock off a star. I've read that the more expensive Meater Pro Block doesn't have this problem as it uses wifi, but I don't really want to re-mortgage just to afford a slightly better model.Also, it's best to take the timings that the app tells you with a pinch of salt. It constantly uses the temperature data to calculate the time until the cook is done and resting time, but these can be off by quite a lot. For example, even though you can select brisket, short ribs, or other big joints of bbq beef, the algorithm doesn't seem to know about "the stall" in temperature that happens once the beef reaches about 70C. So the app will initially tell you that your beef joint will be ready in, say, 2 hours, but once it hits the stall at 70C it recalculates and comes up with a figure like 19 hours! Resting times are also too short in my opinion. Again, for large joints of beef it normally recommends a rest of about 15 mins, when 45 mins (or 2 hours in a cooler) is probably better.Despite my whingeing, these are minor faults as the internal temperature readings have always been accurate, so as long as you just keep an eye on that it's fine. I definitely recommend it, just don't take the app info as gospel when it comes to timings.

Very good, would buy again
