ThermoPro TempSpike 150M Wireless Meat Thermometer for Grilling, Bluetooth Meat Thermometer with Temperature Alarm, Digital Cooking Thermometer for Oven, Grill, Kitchen, BBQ, Smoker & Air Fryers

Excellent probe and temperature is accurate and has lots of different features

Ordered my mistake as I wanted the usb chargeable model, whereas this black version (see image) is battery powered. No doubt it would have functioned fine, but I returned it and reorderd the orange coloured model (see image) which is thankfully USB rechargeable. It's not obviously clear in the descriptions which model is USB, but if that's what you want then go for the orange model.

Bought this item 23 July this year. Worked fine,then it stopped. As in the photo the ceramic has came off the probe.

I consider myself a decent cook, but I will admit that a little additional technology can always help, and this ThermoPro TempSpike 150M Wireless Meat Thermometer is a great help to me, especially for cooking joints of meat in the oven or on the BBQ. This model is the AAA sized battery only version, you cannot plug it into a USB port or otherwise power it, but that isn’t a showstopper at least for me as I tens to use rechargeable batteries anyway.Once you have the booster batteries installed, the probe charged and you have downloaded and familiarised yourself with the App, you are ready to cook. For our first experience I chose to use it with pork, so having checked the details for the required temperature which for medium is 71°C and setting that as the target I sat back and waited – I always turn the meat around in the oven to ensure it is cooked evenly and I did this again with the TempSpike installed. The App actually let me know when it had reached the required temperature and when I checked it was perfect nice and juicy and ready to stand for 10 minutes whilst we plated the vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, gravy etc and sat down to a very enjoyable roast! We have since used this for a chicken off of the BBQ, beef, and lamb and it has produced brilliant results every time – one of those devices you didn’t know you needed till you have one. My only gripe is that it isn’t USB driven for convenience – apart from that it is a top device and gets my recommendation, expensive for sure but worth it.

Charge the probe up in the battery operated case and you're good to go.Download the app, shove the probe into the deepest part of the chicken and start up the BBQ. It tells you a running real-time temp of the meat and the BBQ itself.You can set target temp (74 deg for chicken for example) and it will alert you when the food is ready.It's absolutely brilliant. The App even tells you when your chicken is likely to be ready and it was within a 5 mins window.I love ThermoPro stuff. This is the 4th item I have reviewed from a simple meat thermometer to this beauty.It's a bargain for what it does. Keep you safe - keep the food perfect and faultless to use. (I say faultless, it did not quite stretch into the house which was about 50m away - but it does tell you and you can put you phone a bit nearer!)Recommended

My husband is colour blind and he struggles a lot with cooking any kind of meat because he can't tell by the colour if it's done. It was always either overcooked and dry or raw enough to make us ill.This has been a game changer for him. He has been able to cook the meat to perfection. I no longer have to check the food before serving and he can even sit away from the kitchen and watch the cooking progress via the app.Easy to use and feels like great quality. Would recommend to make cooking easier.

SummaryGreat idea and well executed in providing truly wireless monitoring.Set upThe probe needs to be charged within the provided case. I inserted batteries into the underside of the case then saw that the probe was being charged. I left it for several hours before use to ensure it was fully charged. Meanwhile, I downloaded the "TempSpike" app onto my phone and paired it with the wireless probe - only took a second or two to find the probe. Once inserted into the meat joint, the probe continued to update the app with the current temp and when reached my set temperature triggered an alarm on my phone. I noted that there is a specific mark on the probe that requires the user to insert it into the meat past this mark - see instructions. Another warning was not to push the probe too far down, to avoid making contact with the oven tray or pan.Used with...I often cook poultry, usually chicken and therefore I need to ensure the inside of the meat reaches a minimum temp for safety reasons. However, overcooking the meat results in dried out and tough texture.The chicken breast was cooked to perfection and much better than having to open the oven / grill to insert a manual probe as the oven loses temperature every time it is opened.Value for moneyThere are cheaper temperature probes (hand-held) on the market, but I think this is great product which, for me has taken the worry out of cooking white meat in the oven or on the bbq.

I'm a good cook - my mum & grandmother were both chefs, and they taught me well! - but even good cooks can improve, and this has been a game changer!Easy to use, nice that you can leave the kitchen and check via the app how your meat is doing.Last week I did a roast, and my OH said it was the best I'd ever done. I'm going to let the probe take the credit!Love it!
