MEATER Pro: Smart Bluetooth Wireless Meat Thermometer Digital | 1000°F Heat Resistance | Long Range | Certified Accuracy | BBQ, Oven, Grill, Smoker, Air Fryer, Deep Fryer

I had the original meater and it left alot to be desired. It would frequently lose connection with my phone and when it did, there was no indication that it did. You would assume it was still at the last temperature. Secondly it died on me just 6 months later and meaters customer service wouldnt help me or even provide so much as discount to buy a new one. I was reluctant to buy the meater 2, because of that bad experience. There are many types of bluetooth thermometers now and some less expensive. I actually had the opportunity to beta test the Ninja. Almost all of the new thermometers, thanks to the latest Bluetooth technology are pretty darn good and accurate. What sets Meater apart and worth the extra money is its higher temperature rating, its thin design, its battery life and its app. It really makes cooking a simple process. I've only used it a couple of times now, so I cant judge its long term use. Im hoping it lasts way longer than my first one. Compared to the others out there, this is leaps and bounds over the competition, worth any small premium you might pay for serious cooks. If you're on a budget, really any of the new ones that have bluetooth 5.2 will do just fine but youll be giving up some serious quality differences.

I've used wired temperature probes for YEARS now, and never had an issue until recently, where the transceiver units (the devices that receive the input from the probes and transmit it to the temperature control device) actually melted, causing my cook to become a charred, blackened mass of carbon. I decided to look for wireless probes, but found there were SO many on the market it was hard to know what separated the good ones from the Chinese knock-off junk. I eventually found the original Meater probe, but wasn't all that impressed. Next I ran across the Meater block, and was tempted, but just didn't need to pay for 4 probes. I actually had another brand in my card when I finally ran across the Meater 2PLUS. It took a couple of days of deciding between the other brand and Meater 2+, but I eventually went with Meater, and I'm glad I did. First, I LOVE the simplistic yet very attractive charging station. The app seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but during even the first use I got entirely comfortable with how it worked, and now find it very intuitive and helpful. The probes themselves are good. VERY good, in fact. As long as you follow the very simple usage rules you'll get excellent results every time, in a number of cooking mediums. Thus far I've used the Meater 2+ in these cooking mediums: Deep Fry; Sous Vide; Oven roasting; Grilling; Smoker. The probes worked exceptionally well in each. I was MOST surprised with the smoker, however. As much as I cook, and as much as I LIKE to cook, my smoker has defied my best efforts for some time now. I just couldn't seem to get the right combination of time, heat, and internal temperature to produce something I could be happy with. With the Meater 2+ probe, that kind of all went away. By knowing the real-time ambient and internal temperatures, I could finally manage the smoker settings to produce a cut of meat that was fully cooked, tender, and LOADED with the goodness that comes from smoking. That one experience convinced me that the Meater 2+ was the thing I needed to elevate my cooks to the next level and beyond. I highly recommend the Meater 2+. This firm offers basically three different variations - the original Meater - a good, but somewhat limited version 1 product. Then there's the Meater Block - 4 probes with enhanced connectivity, but basically the same functionality as the original Meater. Finally, the Meater 2+ that offers both connectivity methods, plus more sensors in the probes themselves that offer a much improved insight into your cook. For example: I recently smoked a pork loin, using 2 Meather 2+ probes at each end of the cook. I found some pronounced temperature variations between the two ends of the loin, and was able to figure out there were marked temperature variations in the heating zones of my smoker. The Meater 2+ probes were able to give me the insight I needed to make the adjustments that would result in an evenly cooked/smoked pork loin. (By the way, Pecan smoke yields an absolutely delicious pork roast!). I learned that the temperature probe built into my smoker averaged a +6 degree variance from the Meater 2+ probes, meaning that my cook would have been severely undercooked had I relied on it. By deciding to rely exclusively on the Meater probes, my Pork Loin roast came out tender, juicy, and totally delicious. Best ever results I've gotten from my smoker. Again, I highly recommend the Meater 2+ temperature probes to get the best information back for your cook.

If I could give this no stars I would. I've been using my Meater 2 Plus for about a year and a half. Today for my cook I'm fed up and done with this thing due to connection issues. Let me explain... I have used it in a Traeger Ironwood 650, Weber gas grill, and my oven at home. I mostly use it on the Traeger. I have the probe in the meat and the base located about a foot and a half away from the probe...specifically, on the Traeger pellet hopper top. I have an iPad Mini that's located about 20' from the Traeger. And then I have an Android Pixel phone. The Meater Plus *constantly* loses connection. I go out there, take the probe out of the meat and back in the base, take the probe out, back in the base, reset the iPad, take the battery out of the base....and this cycle goes on until it finally decides to start working. Mind you, my probe is in meat. It's not in foil. It's sticking straight up out of the meat. On the iPad's bluetooth connection, it shows it being connected to the Meater. But in the Meater app it says no connection. Trying to configure this thing was a huge pain as well. I wanted the Meater to sync/communicate with the iPad. Then have the iPad sync the data to the cloud, then have my Android phone read the cloud. Well, again, this sometimes works and mostly doesn't. When you start the app on the Android, it wants to set it up like a new probe. Thanks, but I want it to read the data from the cloud. No way to bypass this. When it works, I will say it works FANTASTIC. It's very accurate. It notifies you when to pull the meat off and takes into account the resting period. But I've just had absolutely HORRIBLE issues with the connection and setup where I wouldn't give the company more money. Today was the last straw with this goofy thing. I'm sick and tired of seeing the 'Communication Lost' message, then having to go out there and pull the probe and play with it until it works. I'm going to replace this with the competitor and hope it works.

As a cooking enthusiast who’s tried a variety of thermometers over the years, from instant-read classics to innovative smart devices, I’ve found the Meater 2 to be the reliable, precise tool I always reach for when cooking any protein. I’ve trusted dependable standbys like the Lavatools PX1D (Javelin PRO Duo) and its more compact sibling, the PT12. My journey into “smart” thermometers began over a decade ago with Supermechanical’s Kickstarter-backed wired thermometer, Range. When wireless technology became available, I quickly adopted the original Meater. Naturally, I was eager to see what the Meater 2 would bring to the table, and it hasn’t disappointed. When I first opened the box, the all-caps “PLUS” branding stood out, boldly heralding Meater’s newest contender in the increasingly crowded smart kitchen space. The packaging felt appropriately premium for its price point, with matte recyclable paperboard that aligns with their eco-friendly vibe, further evidenced by the use of sustainable bamboo for the charging block. Among the various quick start guides and instructions that I’ll never read, one leaflet caught my eye—a calibration certificate, complete with an impressively embossed seal and listed “calibration uncertainty”—a nod to the company’s emphasis on precision and accuracy. Comparing the Meater 2 to the original, the upgrades are clear. The accuracy in internal temperature readings has been noticeably improved, with a differential of just a degree or two compared to my instant-read thermometers, making it far more reliable for precise cooking. While there’s still some variability, it’s a definite step up from the original, especially in terms of nailing those internal readings. The heat tolerance has also been increased, with the Meater 2 now capable of withstanding ambient temperatures up to 1000°F—something that puts my mind at ease as I shove a ribeye into my Ooni oven that tops out at around 950°F. Setting up the Meater 2 was refreshingly straightforward, especially for someone familiar with the first-generation thermometer. There’s no need to download a new app—everything synced seamlessly, and the prompts were clear and intuitive. The pairing process was so simple that even my parents could probably handle it—though I don’t have the patience to actually test that theory. The app has always been user-friendly, and the familiar interface continues to deliver. A thoughtful touch I noticed is the warning modal when your phone is on silent mode. Without this feature, you could easily end up with a burnt roast while the app silently and futilely tries to alert you—far too late—that your dinner has already been charred beyond recognition. The addition of the Apple Watch app is a game-changer for me. It’s unrealistic to expect that you’d keep your phone unlocked, staring at the Meater app for two hours—instead, you’ll likely be doomscrolling through your news feed or looking at recipes you’ll never cook. Having the remaining cook time displayed on my wrist is a huge convenience, especially when you’re juggling a house full of guests, wrangling runaway toddlers, or chasing after dogs who’ve snatched food off the table. In terms of performance, the Meater 2 has been consistently reliable. The app takes a few minutes to calibrate and tune into your ambient, target, and internal temperatures, but once it’s set, it works well. The “black box” algorithm—whatever it is—has done a great job of ensuring my meats are cooked to the desired doneness. Whether I’m preparing a thick brisket or a thin chicken breast, this thermometer has consistently delivered accurate results. Battery life is solid, and the thermometer stores and charges easily in its bamboo block, which also functions as a refrigerator magnet, keeping the Meater 2 conveniently accessible in the kitchen. The build quality is impressive—sleek and refined, with a combination of metal and bamboo that complements most kitchen designs. It’s not just a cooking tool; it’s a statement piece. That statement being, “I have a Meater 2 Plus smart thermometer tool.” Overall, the Meater 2 is a valuable tool for both tech enthusiasts and home cooks. It’s packed with useful features and has a track record of quality, making it a worthy addition to your kitchen.

I use the MEATER Pro with my Ninja Woodfire Grill when cooking chicken and other meats, and it has completely improved my grilling results. The thermometer provides extremely accurate readings for both the internal meat temperature and the temperature inside the grill, which makes it much easier to cook everything perfectly. Since using this smart thermometer, I no longer have to worry about undercooking or overcooking meat. Everything comes out exactly the way it should. It’s easy to use, reliable, and has become an essential tool whenever I’m grilling. For anyone serious about grilling or smoking meat, this thermometer is a fantastic upgrade and has truly been a game changer for me.

I was initially pretty concerned about the low ratings for connectivity. Also compared to other platforms, the Meater 2 seems pretty pricy. I think I paid more the Meater 2 than I did for my Meater of about 1 year ago? However, its the only thermometer in its class, that I have been able to find, that will handle up to 1000 deg F. I cook a lot of Pork tenderloin, and unless I sear first, then go full indirect, the Meater 1 thermometer gets too hot...so for me, the high temp rating on the Meater 2 is definitely a desired characteristic. So got my Meater 2 this past weekend and decided to check connectivity before my return window shut...I pulled out the probe, set up my phone with it (was an easy process), put the probe in an empty tomato paste filled with water on my grill and set up a custom 'cook'...things looked good for about 10 minutes, but eventually the amplifier (bamboo case) seemed to disconnect from my phone (I was only about 20' away, sliding glass door and typical drywall & siding construction between me and my grill) I had some trouble getting it reconnected. After opening the back looking for a reset button...I noticed the 'Toshiba' AAA battery in it...I started wondering about the battery, so I pulled it and checked it in a small battery checker I have. It did register green, about mid-green, so technically still good (sorry all, I probably should have used a multi meter to get actual voltage) but I thought humm, its only 1.5 volts, maybe I should try a super fresh battery...its cold outside, maybe its just slightly low. So I did, found another AAA with slightly higher green rating ~3/4 green and put it in...connectivity again. I put the amplifier a number of different locations around my grill - with lid closed, it stayed connected...eventually walked out to my Garage...~40' away, another door and dry wall in between, but still stayed connected. I ended up grilling a large bone in turkey breast later, about a 2.5 hour cook, and it stayed connected. SO, if you have a Meater 2 and have connection issues...try replacing the battery first with a brand new high quality AAA battery...I bought a set of Energizer Max's just for this thermometer. So for now, I am pretty happy with the Meater 2...rated 4 'cause I am not certain the new battery was/is the connection issue and, its expensive, and, I haven't tested the connection above ~400 deg. But, I will update if I have issues in the future.

If you are looking for an exceptional thermometer this is it! It will work through your phone (if you want) and it is very accurate. The packaging is outstanding as it is housed in a wood box. It is well made using top materials. This brand is excellent.

I took an L on this purchase. Worked a few times, temperature sensor is good. Case is cool. But it no longer connects to my phone. Ive replaced battery, reinstalled app, toggle Bluetooth...nothing works anymore. So gave me about 10 good uses and then died. Not worth the purchase in my case.

Great quality and good value for money - Was looking for a temp prob that worked on my iphone and this works fantastically well - Love cooking and this is easy to use and has a long battery life - Cooking outcomes have been faultless so accurate temperature

Probe stopped connecting to phone after 3 uses.

Ottimo prodotto, la sonda e l'app fanno egregiamente il loro Lavoro. Migliorerei la qualità della custodia della sonda..

Constantly loses connection mid cook and the range is awful. Disappointed does not cover it and is very missed the refund window !

This is what meat is meant to taste like!
