I regret buying this. Returned the product.

This is a very subpar product. The bluetooth doesn't work when my grill is closed. During cooks I receive incessant notifications from the app, constant unnecessary information. The method of inserting the probe in the thickest part and removing the meat from the heat so that it reaches the safe temperature while resting is clever, but if you miss the thickest part of the meat at all you will not have cooked the food all the way through safely. And finally, this is not suitable for checking the temperature of thin cuts of meat, or even thick smaller items like a meatball. I regret the purchase and returned this.

I bought it for Thanksgiving to smoke a turkey for the first time, and I'm delighted with the MEATER's performance! It's robust and accurate, making the whole process of smoking the turkey for the first very smooth. The App that comes with it is intuitive and straightforward. I love it and highly recommend it.

I bought this to have for Thanksgiving, and I am a fan! Fresh turkey, dry-brined uncovered for 48 hours in the refrigerator, roasted at 325°F, Meater in the breast set to 165°F, alerted to pull at 160°F, rested 45 minutes uncovered, no fat rubbed on the bird, no basting.
The turkey was *perfect*. Tender, juicy meat, crisp skin, a delight. I repeated the meal a couple of weeks later, with a frozen turkey. Same steps as the first after defrosting, and it, too, was absolutely perfect! This is a fantastic tool.

I already owned a MEATER Plus for over a year, and was disappointed by the amount of times during cooking that the device and the application disconnected, leaving timing issues and inaccurate temperature and time information. I had hoped, based on reading the hype, that this issue was resolved with the MEATER Pro. Unfortunately, not only does the disconnection issue still exist, it almost caused me to burn up a turkey, because the ambient and internal temperatures did not update properly.
I am giving away the MEATER Pro, used once, to a family member, maybe they will have better luck with it. I am going in another direction.

Hi, and thank you for reviewing the MEATER Pro. Although keeping the charger as close as possible to the probes will provide a stable connection between them, most of the distance is going to be from the charger to the phone. Since the Pro has a Bluetooth booster that should substantially extend the range, we may want to make sure that it is not the probe-to-charger connection that is affecting the performance. Under ideal circumstances, the charger can maintain a link with the probes for up to 30'. However, as with any kind of similar signal, there are factors that can reduce the range, such as heavily insulated grills or having them completely covered by aluminum foil. Simply keeping the charger very close to the probes will usually prevent this from being an issue, but without knowing the details of your particular situation, it will be hard to address it more directly. Luckily, we have a few resources available that can help with any concerns that you may have with your MEATER, including directions on how to use a second smart device to extend your Pro’s range even further through a WiFi network. When you have a little time, please take a look at the below links for more in-depth assistance. The first one is to our Support Wizard for diagnosing various concerns with the MEATER Pro, and the second is a video showing how to extend your MEATER’s range through a WiFi network. And if you still have questions, at the end of the Wizard there is contact information for Customer Service, where agents will be more than happy help with anything related to your MEATER.

I'd been eyeing the Meater for several months but, was reluctant to pull the trigger because I have several other high-end thermometers for cooking. But, I was determined to make Thanksgiving less stressful this year. The Meater did not disappoint. My Prime Rib was absolutely perfect and I was able to time everything down to the last minute, I couldn't be more pleased.
