Link to the Meater+ in the description!

I don’t understand people who think temperature probes are for wimps. Cooking is science in a lot of ways, especially internal meat temperature. I just got my Meater and I’m eager to try it. Thanks for the overview.

Hi Angelo, great review. I use a thermoter to set up my grill temperature, can the MEATER+ be used in the grill only, I.e. Not in a piece of meat?

I would have liked to see you walk through a cook. Mine doesn't go to the window where you select kind of meat, etc.

Angelo can you also use the meater for smaller pieces of meat? Do you prefer the meater plus over the meat stick?

So, any suggestions for ribs since the probe insertion depth is to deep???

My wife just bought me one for Christmas. I can't wait to get it and put it to use. Keep smoking.

My meater + does not update the temperature readings while cooking. I tried it for the first time yesterday on a steak. I had to cancel my cook and restart it several times to get updated temp readings. This resulted in a overcooked steak. Im thinking about returning it.

Hi Absolutely brilliant video, A Question please can I use this probe in a table top oven, Thanks

@AngeloBodetti

Yes you can. Thank you!

I've always used Thermoworks stuff. It's a high end wired probe thats incredibly accurate but yes the wires can be a pain in the ass to deal with and cleaning them sucks as well since you cant submerge the probes. Going to give the Meater probes a try......the only problem is if they work great I have around $700 bucks of Thermoworks stuff that'll just sit in the BBQ drawer.

great review. think the 33ft. one would stay connected?

Great job on the review. Question: why was the ambient temp not showing?

@AngeloBodetti

2 жыл бұрын

That takes time to settle in. Meaning it doesn’t show instantly and then start changing dramatically. When it’s somewhat “stable” it will show

I set everything up (with the plus model, non extended wifi. blue tooth reported on), but when I hit start cook (with the meter in the meat), start cook does not do anything. I had bought a 1 1/4" ribeye steak for my b/d and couldn't even use the meater. Any ideas? Meater has not solved my problem yet and they actually closed my support ticket.

When to turn steak over

Great Review. I've used probes for quite some time and I'm an excellent cook. I've become dependent on probes and even have a Ninja indoor grill with Smart probe and a Ninja air fryer with searing plate (great for fish) that also has a Smart probe - each are programmable similar to the Meater and each deliver perfect food every time. But I also have a smoker with no probe. So I just picked the Meater so that I don't have to "monitor" the smoker contents letting cooler air in and smoke out. You know the drill with low and slow cooks. So people who don't cook with probes are missing out.

Hi can you use recorded previous cooks to set up same cook…in other words can you tap on previous cook and it will use same parameters for current cook ? Thanks

Hi Chuck, I’ve been using a Meater for 3yrs now, I had the same concern as you, I did some research, the accuracy is 0.5c +\- . As a test, I used a potato, I set my oven to 120c for 30mins the graph on the app tracked it nicely, I then tested it at 200c (400f) I discovered my oven was only reaching 168c (334f) as shown on the graph. The Meater has been a huge help to me to make the necessary adjustments for a good cook. Hope this helps

The problem with the Meater is that you can't calibrate the thing and it's thick and you have to shove it in the meat deep. Maybe in the future those issues will be resolved and then I'll give it a 2nd try.

The thickness is a problem especially for certain cuts of meat but I’m ok with it because it’s the only option for rotisserie

Do you get paid by this company??? The one I got from them I'm sending it back. First of all it was hard to connect. The range was very short less than 10 feet. Once I got it connected it was working fine then it disconnected and no matter what I did I could not get it connected again I went to their website followed all their instructions and still nothing

@AngeloBodetti

No I am not. Just a regular dude who got one and loves it. You sure you have the Meater plus? I’ve never had range issues at all. Placement of the wooden box is key. Put the wooden box near the thermometer. The box is what’s talking to your phone, not the thermometer itself. So if you have connection issues, it’s possible the thermometer is too far from the box itself.

Meater told me 11 hours left on a tri tip set for 135. While the temperature read 126.. Other times, it tells me to pull at target temperature, over cooking meats. Don't trust it
