I’ve been enamored with meat thermometers for my house cooking in ways in which border on obsessive. I wish to know precisely what my meals’s present temperature is in addition to the ambient cooking temperature — whether or not I’m utilizing a grill, a smoker, or an oven. Clearly, this helps me monitor when the meals finishes cooking, but it surely additionally helps me stave off potential issues which may come up from too excessive or low of a cooking temperature. 

I’ve used a number of wired and wi-fi thermometers over time and just lately received to check the Meater Professional / 2 Plus.

And for those who’re making ready for vacation gifting or cooking, I like to recommend grabbing it now whereas it’s on sale for Amazon Prime Day.

Meater Professional / 2 Plus Meat Thermometer

The Meater Professional is a very wire-free thermometer. Many wi-fi thermometers are literally wired to a base unit; merely with the ability to step away from the thermometer and examine its standing on a distant or telephone is what makes them “wi-fi.” Meater thermometers, nonetheless, keep away from wires solely, which implies no no tangling or harm to their inside conductors. The probe connects to the bottom unit through Bluetooth, and, in flip, the bottom connects to a telephone app. I additionally like that it makes use of a single AAA battery for energy, as I typically attain for my rechargeable thermometers (sure, I’ve a number of) and discover they’ve misplaced their cost whereas sitting within the drawer.

At this level, I ought to point out that the Meater Professional is solely app-dependent for operation. This dependency could also be a draw back for some, but it surely additionally extends battery life by not lighting a show on the bottom. The app is straightforward to put in and configure — it’s only a matter of downloading and connecting through Bluetooth. 

The options are complete, too. There are presets for various sorts of meat, fish, and poultry, and from there, the app asks for the kind of minimize and the way you’ll prepare dinner the meals (grill, oven, and so forth). The app additionally components in a relaxation interval, because the meals continues to prepare dinner after you take away it from the warmth, and tells you when the remainder interval is over.

At this level, some significantly cool enhancements and improvements to earlier Meater fashions kick in. The probe has 5 meals temperature sensors, which speak to one another to find out the bottom temperature of your meals. And whereas some temperature capacities restrict some fashions, the Meater Professional withstands a most temperature of 1,000° F, which makes it helpful for reside hearth cooking when temperatures can turn into fairly intense.

Meater additionally improved this thermometer’s Bluetooth vary, which helps you to step away farther from the probe with out the sign dropping. With earlier Meater thermometers I examined, in addition to some from opponents, the vary minimize out about 25 ft from my kitchen — thick partitions and nails within the plaster intrude with Bluetooth alerts. So, I used to be impressed that I may have the bottom behind my home and sit on my entrance porch with solely the occasional sign drop.

The one actual disadvantage? I discovered that the show by no means confirmed the right ambient temperature after I began cooking on the range and completed within the oven — it was nonetheless counting up. However that didn’t matter a lot for lengthy cooks on my grill and smoker.

Meater has at all times rated nicely in our assessments in opposition to different thermometers, however the function updates within the Meater Professional actually make it stand out from its opponents. Actually, we examined the Professional within the Meals & Wine lab just lately and it earned the highest title of Finest Total.
