So far I’ve only used the Typher sync one for cooking salmon in the Dome II and it works great, tells me when to take it out to rest and then when it’s ready to consume. No guessing now, I love it! Can’t wait to use it for some meat! Thank You Typher, your products are well worth cost.
The Sync One is with ell-designed and built. There’s a bit of a learning curve with the app, but once you figure that out, the device usage is straightforward and simple. I’ve grilled two tritips, several chicken breasts, a steak, and a rack of St. Louis style ribs. All came out perfectly cooked, due to the accuracy of the probe and functionality of the base and app. The only negative I’ve found so far, is that the probe is somewhat difficult to clean, as there’s no positive way to hold and scrub it. Maybe if the handle end was knurled? At any rate, the Sync One is a huge improvement over my wired thermometer, and fun to use. Highly recommended.
This device works, and the industrial design feels pretty nice. But it feels like a tech gadget (not a good thing). You have to create an account to use the app at all, ridiculous for a kitchen device. Thankfully, you can operate the device without the app. Frustratingly, the screen turns off after a few minutes, forcing you to walk over and press the power button to read the temperature. The ambient sensor is also bizarrely slow: in a 300+ degree preheated oven, it climbs puzzlingly spent from room temperature to the actual oven temperature. When compared to other kitchen timers and food thermometers that get out of your way and just work, this one is imbued with the needy design patterns endemic in tech companies: forced login, overpowered in ways that aren't useful, and letting secondary functions get in the way of nailing the basics.
This thermometer is very nice and sleek. The base is quite heavy and well made. The thermometer part is nice, sharp and easy to use. I rated 4 stars because the name is quite misleading. I was under the impression the thermometer would sync with the air fryer, but this doesn’t happen. When you select the”smart” option on the thermometer, I would assume the air fryer would cook until the meat reaches the desired temperature. But in reality you have to keep increasing the time on the air fryer until the base of the thermometer beeps; they do not sync to each other. It works great, but it’s not what I feel is advertised.
