Great when it works. When it works, it’s wonderful. But half the time and with absolutely no reason, the probe will not connect. Resetting, updating the app, ensuring the probe is sparkling clean make no difference. It just won’t connect and is therefore unusable. A very pricey fridge magnet. I’ve been messaging with customer support for months and they have no answers, just tell me to let them know when it happens again. I send photos and video and they just suggest I update my app. Which is updated. So it seems they don’t stand behind their product and/or the app is unreliable. I can’t tell which, and MEATER+ customer support is no help in figuring it out, so this review reflects the whole package.

Fantastic until it Came Apart. This is one of the greatest inventions for grilling since the invention of Bluetooth. It syncs to your phone effortlessly once you do the initial setup and it makes flawless steaks, etc (but steaks and other fast grilled meats are the thing you’ll see the most effect on imo) every time. However, this latest grilling session when I went to take the probe out of the meat, the black top came out of the metal base (definitely not supposed to happen). Meater, if you’re reading this, you need better epoxy or something on that connection. I hope I can send in for repair / replacement because I love this thing and would otherwise give it 5 Stars.

I was not a fan, but I am becoming one!. My family got me the MEATER as a gift last Christmas. I was not thrilled when I saw the size of the probes because I knew they would leave an enormous hole in my meat. Truthfully speaking, they do, and I would love to see improvements in that area. That withstanding, once I got past the probe size and started using the device I couldn’t have been more pleased. I appreciate not having to run wires through my smoker. I also appreciate how a single probe serves multiple purposes. A single probe can monitor the internal meat temperature as well as the ambient temperature of my smoker. That’s a big deal! One less probe to deal with, and most importantly, no wires! My advice.... Make smaller probes and you will make BBQ enthusiasts very happy!

Not Happy. I bought the + model thinking I would have ample range in my small backyard. The probe will not stay connected even though all lights are green and the probe is charged. I’ve run all the trouble shooting tips with no joy. It’s the definition of insanity. I try the probe each time I cook a piece of meat and each time I’m disappointed. I’m very confident it’s not me. Also, prepare to receive more emails than you ever dreamed possible from a meat probe company. I had to designate all the emails spam because I couldn’t stop the inundation otherwise. If I wanted an email from the company everyday (sometimes multiple in one one day) I would have asked for them. And, you are almost forced into the emails. I was hoping for a simple to use Bluetooth thermometer but that isn’t possible with MEATER+. It’s waaaayyyy more complicated than it needs to be.

Estimated cook time fails. The last time I used the app it took quite a while for the “estimating cook time” to figure itself out. Like 15-20 minutes minimum(which seems Ok considering it needs to get a few data points before it can guess. ) but the latest version seems to sit at that screen for hours. The temperatures on the probe are still precise, I double checked with my I start read thermometer. But it would be nice if I can get an estimate on time. Earlier this am it did have a 4 hour estimate which then fluctuated between 4 and 13 hours. This was not helpful and found myself constantly watching the screen.

Solution looking for a problem. An old fashioned thermometer is one you stick into the meat, wait about 30 seconds, and see the temp. Cheap & easy. The new way is to buy a much more expensive, battery operated AND rechargeable digital thermometer, which requires you to load an app onto your phone (and keep updated) and then requires that you create an account (with password 👍) to login to this app so that you can use the system to tell you what the temp is. Oh, and the probe is three times thicker and has to go in about 4 inches. Again, a “solution” looking for a problem. Threw mine into the electronic recycle bin after the second use and went back to my nice old, reliable analog thermometer. Regarding the developer’s response: I would like it better if you did not require that an account have to be set up to use the thermometer. I can see no valid reason why you can not just make it work with the app without having to create an account and log in.

Good but Annoying!. Would have been 5 stars but it’s really annoying that every time I launch app it bugs me to signup for MEATER cloud. There were also 2 probe firmware updates last week that were required before I could start a cook. Nothing like putting your meat on the grill and launching your app only to discover you are being forced to do a firmware update that takes 10 minutes! Also after the probe firmware updates it seems meat is now being over cooked. It tells me to remove the move too late and it doesn’t seem that the resting stage ever ends anymore (seems to stay stuck at “almost there”). Please fix these issues and I’ll give you 5 stars!

Far Above Expectations. The Meater App in conjunction with the Meater Thermometer has far exceeded exceeded my expectations. The Meater has brought cooking out of the Stone Age as far as I’m concerned. Have had a Solair Infrared Grill for years which I couldn’t master accurate cooking results due to its intense heat. The Meater Thermometer along with the App has made cooking with it a no-brainer... The first time I used the Meater was cooking a Flank Steak on the Solair and it came out to perfection. Kept me informed as to the cooking progress and provided me with ammunition when attempting to justify to my Wife the necessary resting time. She had visual indication regarding all stages of the cooking progress. Used the Meater Thermometer the second time last night and again it blew me away to the point I ordered the Meater Block with 4 Probes. Will use the first on for our camping adventures.

Awesome with one MAJOR flaw. The design and concept are just amazing. However, the Meater utterly fails if the grill or oven get near 500 degrees which unfortunately is almost every grill ... every time. I’m sure you’ve seen this or will if you have the product but the app goes completely crazy and starts alerting you that you will destroy the device which leaves you only with the option of destroying dinner or the device. It then blocks out all other temp readings and obnoxiously screams on your phone. It’s a bit like buying a race car then discovering that the tires can only go up to 70 mph. Seriously ....a grill Thermometer that can’t go much over 400 degrees??? A HUGE flaw. With that said, if they fix this it would be the thing ever.

Update to original review. While I still found it a bit frustrating, I did go back and watch many videos to understand how it works then tried again to use it. Not sure how the app started working but it did and I was able to do what the instructions said. Price is a bit high, however it works much better than a probe that’s connected to my smoker. Being able to monitor wirelessly is a real plus. I hope the algorithm can be worked to aid in cook time for long cooks with large pieces of meat to get a more accurate cook time, other than that, the MEATER does what it says it will do.

WiFi password input barrier. I use a 64 character randomly generated string for my WiFi password. The app will not let me paste it in and when I try to painfully enter it manually the field length is too short to enter it. This makes the device relatively unusable. I have the Meater Block. Standalone mode has no value to me since I have a Thermoworks BBQ setup. I’ve tried to update the block firmware and get an error. Update: a firmware update of the block solved this issue. But I did run into an issue where I had to disable my network adblocker for the download to work. Which gives me concerns as well since it’s likely blocking a telemetry service of some type.

I thought I was a good cook until….. After I obtained a METER + I realized how I could become even a better cook. I no longer had to guess or use skill to obtain correct internal temperatures of roasted meats or birds. I could set my probe for the correct temperature and that would be correct every single time. I have made prime New York strip sirloin‘s that came out exactly to medium rare, no guesswork. I made a tomahawk steak perfectly. I made rack of lamb that came out exactly the way I wanted it. I present my roasts, racks of lamb, briskets, everything exactly the way I wish them to turn out because of the meter. Stuart Borken

Best meat probe & software I’ve ever used. Best meat probe & software I’ve ever used. Most meat probe makers are good at making the probes and cheap hardware, but their software stinks. It’s half written, buggy, and lacks features. The MEATER App is surprisingly good. Very easy to use, great interface, tons of features and can monitor multiple probes simultaneously. The probe itself is also very impressive. Very accurate and the fact it can report both the meat temp and the ambient air temp is fantastic. Very well made and and way it uses the charger to extend the signal range is brilliant.

Product is great, support is better. I’ve been using my MEATER for almost 2 years now and it has improved my grilling game by a good amount. The MEATER is easy to use and makes even a bonehead like me seem like an expert. But that’s not what I’m writing this review about. I had some problems with my MEATER and let’s just say that it was probably my fault. I worked with Apption labs and after doing some debugging they sent me a brand new MEATER which is now working perfectly. I went from appreciation for the product to being a lifelong fan. If you’re thinking about getting this, just get it, you won’t regret it.

Believe the Hype!. This thing is legit! Bought it for a steal on Black Friday 2021 and used it for the first time to cook a Christmas dinner. Perfectly cooked our Christmas Turkey in my mother’s old gas oven, that doesn’t accurately maintain temp. or have a great window to see the bird. Worth the money, especially if you don’t want to have to however around a meal all day. This thing allowed me to go about my day and even notified me when the meal was almost ready. Even gave me an estimated cook time. Best kitchen item I have EVER purchased. I cannot wait to use it when I smoke meats in my propane smoker!

Thank you developers!. The app experience is amazing! The only feedback that I have would be the option to adjust and continue a cook even after it is “Ready to Eat”. For example: I decided to cook my pork a little bit longer but the cook automatically ended since the original target temperature had already been met. Would it be possible to manually end/continue a cook? Also, the option to swipe left and right between probes when in the temperature graph view would be helpful. This would make it much easier for me to switch back-and-forth between temperature graphs. Thank you again!

Good product gone bad with a software update. Was great before post-thanksgiving 2022 update. Now I’m so disappointed. Bought the block years ago for me, another for my dad, convinced 3 others to buy the block or single. Even got a single on the sale this year. Update is absolute crap! Goes from 7 hours remaining cook time to 15 minutes to 3 hours to … over and over. I have lost faith in this product and won’t be giving any away as gifts until way after they fix this P O S update. You all need to fire that engineer. Great product gone bad.

When it’s working as intended, it’s great, when it’s not, it’s infuriating.. My girlfriend bought me the block for almost $300 three years ago. It’s update on firmware and app version, and I literally cannot get MEATERLink to work with my wifi. It connects, but then immediately has an error. This means I can pretty much monitor my cook from about 15 feet away because I’m limited by Bluetooth. It’d be nice if I could leave my smoker on and leave the house, but apparently that’s not an option. I’ve followed every single step that you can on their “Support” area of their site, but of course there’s no direct link or number to contact them because they’re probably sick about complaints of subpar performance on a $300 piece of wood.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Probe quite working all together after just five (5) uses. Contacted customer service and answered two days worth of question and sent requested video and still photos of charger flashing red with or without the probe inserted. Did not hear back from Customer Service for three (3) days. When they finally did respond they said that they noticed on the video that the black ceramic ring around the ambient temperature end was chipped and thus defective. I did notice the chip and obviously agreed with the diagnosis. They ask for pertinent information to replace the defective probe which of course I sent also offering to send the defective probe back to them if they would include a return label. That was three (3) days ago and still no further communication. Totally frustrated with this service.

Great cooking too. I was given a smoker and a Souvide water heater as presents. I used the device thermometers and my dishes came out good but I always wondered about how well the meats were cooked. I then decided I needed an internal thermometer that could withstand the rigors of being in the heat of the cooking session and decided, after some research, that the Meater was the best tool for this. Since I began using the Meater in smokers and Souvide cooking methods plus regular oven cooking, my dishes have stepped up to be the envy of my family. I enjoy watching the temperature graphs because it lets me see how the food is cooking. I also enjoy the “resting” phase of cooking since before Meater, it was a guesstimate. The other thing I enjoy is sharing the data with friends in the office at the water cooler. We can criticize and share recipes. One last thing. If using in smokers, take care to clean the end (with vinegar) or else the thermometer does not charge.

Works 1 of 5 times. When it works and somehow the probe connects to your phone, either through magic or luck, the meat turns out great. Otherwise, it’s a useless infuriating app that lives on your phone and an expensive paperweight that lives in your drawer. My probe almost never connects to my app, even if I forget the connection and start all over again (sometimes it seems to help). The app is horribly designed with elements that look like buttons that should do something, but are not. Settings and connections are hidden away behind multiple menus. Even though MEATER was bought by Traeger recently, the app is still has a ton of issues. Get a different wireless probe.

Good but needs a couple things to be great. The app and device are very good. The estimated time is very helpful. I have 2 simple requests that would make this app great: 1)need an iWatch companion app, to monitor temps and provide alerts. This is key so that I don’t need to have iPhone volume maxed out so I can hear it in a noisy room, I always have my iWatch on me but I don’t alway walk around the house carrying my iPhone. 2)need option to add notes to each cook. That way you could go back and see what worked and what didn’t. Also, to add cook details like recipe changes and rate each cook - that way you can go back and remake the best cooks. Simply add a rating field and text journal.

Great product. So far, have cooked pork roast in the oven and chicken breasts on the grill. The chicken was the best I’ve ever done. Really like being able to walk away from the grill especially and still know what’s going on. The temp has been a few degrees lower than my Thermapen, which could be due to different placement in the meat. Looking forward to grilling a nice NY strip. My experience with the Bluetooth and WiFi has been great. I leave my phone or tablet near the cook and use the other to take with me. Both the cloud and meaterlink have worked great. I’d love to have different colors on the tips to help tell which is which. But, overall, I think this is a fantastic, creative invention that’s really making my life easier. Thanks!

Meat at its best (MEATER+). I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of barbecue and smoking. This thing has been my right hand tool through the journey. They say the journey is the reward but that’s an understatement. A lot of the comments I’ve read say that it disconnects, it has not disconnected one time for me (20+ cooks). I do keep the probe clean and scrub it down after each use like the directions say. Other than that my only suggestion would be to keep the notes synced across devices. If I start a cook and add notes on my iPad, I cannot see or add to the same notes on my iPhone. UPDATE*** At first, I thought it was my grill’s probe, but after a smoke with 1 meater probe in the brisket and the other resting on a pan (2” up from grill surface) , the temperature fluctuations are ridiculous. Initially I will set my grill to 200° and the meter would only read the ambient as 150°. It will have this wide gradient for most of the cook. The closer to the stall and subsequently after, the ambient reading from the meater and the setpoint for the grill start to align. I can trust the meter only for an internal temperature. Other than that the timing and ambient are not anything I can trust. I realize that initially there’s not a good predictive estimate on timing for large blocks of meat because of the stall but this is like that across all cooks, whether it be a steak, fish, etc..

MEATER is very helpful. I’ve always battle with getting the meats cooked correctly and MEATER solves that problem, by getting the internal temperature perfect. One of the nicest things about the MEATER app is the ability to see the temperatures and cooking process on my iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. I usually set up the grill and the go about my chores while checking status on my watch. I can see meat temp, ambient temp and time to cook. The ambient temp is a big dead so as not to over or under heat the grill while cooking. The alert to remove the meat at the correct time to let it rest, gets the food close to perfection. MEATER has changed the way I grill and helped me do a better job.

Disconnect’s a-lot. For the $$$ I expected better connectivity, no matter how it’s setup (BT,Cloud,Block,WiFi) it still disconnects a lot causing cooks to be off, most of the time mine does not even reconnect until I do it manually…for example I mowed my front lawn (50ft) total and the Block was outside with me I ended up overcooking one of the two $25(each) Pizmo Filets. The app never alerted me to the disconnect, upon checking the Block the probes in use were just spinning even tho the Block was 2-3ft from the grill…Almost $300 is alot for this product and considering I’ve lost a $25 Filet and $65 Roast…I utilize the WiFi option on my grill again now to avoid issues…I bought this to avoid wired probes but the wired ones and my grill have never failed plus I can truly connect to my grill without disconnects thru the grills app… Now for the APP layout itself it’s pretty great…

Make sure your grill is compatible before using!. I backed the meater smart thermometer on indiegogo back in 2016 and waited patiently for over a year to receive my product. Promised essentially unlimited range for temperature tracking, I was sold immediately. And no wires to boot! However, the product has been nothing but a disappointment from my first cook. I have a traeger Texas elite 34 pellet smoker and when I use the probe, I can get no more than 10 feet from my grill before losing Bluetooth connection to my meater. I’ve also tried the meater link, which uses Bluetooth to connect to a device near the probe and WiFi to connect that device to a second device. Still a no go. Same problem with meater cloud. When I contacted meater about these issues, they had me complete a range test, making sure the probe is unobstructed by anything. Meaning it’s not in my grill, creating a test that is impractical as it’s not a proper demonstration of the products use. I was told the product is in working order and that my grill is incompatible with the probe as it blocks too much Bluetooth signal. I would absolutely not recommend this product for anyone that does a significant amount of smoking, or grilling with a closed lid.

The Meater+ A Pit Master's Friend. The Meater+ is a friend to a Pit Master. It accurately monitors internal and ambient temperatures of your cook. It is extremely easy to use and customer support has been outstanding to date. It is wireless so it is perfect for monitoring internal and ambient temperature when using a rotisserie. I use it all the time on my Large Big Green Egg when using The Joetisserie (fits Large Big Green Egg perfectly). The Meater+ tracks the temperature of the meat and ambient temperature flawlessly. And, I track it all from my IPhone. I can even track it on the go. For example, I had to run to the store during a two whole chicken rotisserie cook, and I was able to follow the temperatures and progress inside the store. I also use The Meater+ for perfectly cooked steaks and fish (especially salmon). I highly recommend The Meater+. The Meater+ is a great tool for a Pit Master's arsenal. I also have a Flame Boss 300 (highly recommend as well) which I use for extra long and slow smokes where I need the long hours control of temperature that is provided by The Flame Boss 300's ability to fan The Big Green Egg's Fire Box. I can literally keep my Large Big Green Egg at the same temperature for 18+ hours if needed. Together these two devices allow for any type of cook. Big Thumbs up for The Meater+

Works great with one exception!!. These probes are awesome. Grilled steak and chicken breasts turn out perfect. The only real gripe I have it the probe has ridiculously short range to your phone or tablet. You HAVE to use two devices and the cloud feature if I want to go in the house. The grill is 15 ft from where I sit in the house and it looses connection. I have to place my iPad in the kitchen window and bounce the signal to my phone. I know they have an extended range version but that’s just ridiculous for the price. **note** they were having a sale on the website so I bought two probes and they sync up perfectly with no issues.

Get the Meater plus, not the block. Update: After working with their support staff, I was able to update the block and since then, it’s worked much better and has only had an occasional disconnect. I love the idea of these and the consistency of meats I cook has been better than anything I’d ever done before. So if you have the block and it tells you to update the firmware, do it. And if it doesn’t work, contact their support staff and they’ll help you out. First review, before firmware update to block. The block works but is super frustrating because it constantly and randomly disconnects. The firmware update process always sparks hope, but never updates. Support staff are nice but still have not given me any solutions that make things better. Instead, I spend what seems like hours trying to get it to update and work properly, but so far, I’ve been unsuccessful. As soon as it starts working as advertised, I’ll submit another review or update this one. For now, I’m jus left feeling frustrated.

True wireless monitoring!. I’ve been using the MEATER for a couple of weeks now, purchased shortly after I also purchased a new gas grill. The gas grill has a rotisserie and I wanted to be able to monitor internal meat temperature on my roasts without bothering with wires. The MEATER works perfectly for this! I find accurate internal meat temperatures, accurate estimated time to completion, and the convenience of being able to monitor the internal temperature inside my grill during cooking. All of this with the convenience of no wires and being able to use my phone application for monitoring all of the above. What a game changer! I have now used the MEATER to cook a whole turkey, a prime rib roast, and a pork shoulder on my gas grill using the rotisserie, and I couldn’t be happier with the probe and the app. Update: I continue to use and love the MEATER probe and phone app regularly, now going on 6 months. I have no complaints whatsoever and fine the device to be quite accurate. I purchase extra MEATER probes often as gifts for friends.

Thermometer that doesn't work over 500 degrees?. Grilling and searing frequently use temperatures in excess of 500 degrees but, astonishingly, this dumb thermometer doesn't work at such temperatures. Trust me, when the ambient temperature gets over 500 degrees, the stupid app loudly blows the klaxons every few seconds and then blocks the entire screen with a bright red warning message so you can't see anything else. I mean it, you really can't see anything. You can't even see the meat temperature anymore, which was the entire point of all this. The product designers and app programmers must not know anything about grilling, because these are very stupid problems to have. As for this app, its hard to give even one single star for this abomination, a thermometer app that, deliberately by it's design, doesn't show the meat temperature. It's only exacerbated by the fact that the underlying product won't work over 500 degrees, a temperature that most home ovens and even some toaster ovens can achieve.

Outstanding product. I love to grill and cook in general. I’m not sure how I grilled and broiled meats in the past without MEATER. This is the greatest addition you can make to your grilling arsenal of tools. MEATER is very easy to use. The app is excellent. I get great results now on every piece of meat. It is perfectly cooked. Visiting with guests and forget to check your meat on the grill or in the oven? You’ll never have that problem again with MEATER. It sends you alerts that you can set up. I love how you set the meat you’re cooking and how well you want it done and it alerts you when to pull it from the heat to let it rest. Perfect every time. MEATER even can broadcast across your WiFi from the monitoring phone to others. It would be better if MEATER could directly connect to WiFi so you don’t have an intermediate phone device, but it’s still very usable as is. If you love to grill and cook different meats, get a MEATER. You won’t be disappointed!

Finicky piece of tech. Connection is great once you get it, but jumping the tech hoops is less straight forward and reliable than simple wired transmitter probes I have used. I got this as a gift, but would not give it to anyone who is not in tech. When it works it’s nice. The rest of the time it’s a paperweight. Can’t say I would recommend it to anyone seriously into bbq as it is not reliable enough to grab and use without spending time making all the connections before you can even use it. Sorry but it has too many weak points to recommend it.

External temperature isn’t accurate. I love it, because it helps me when I’m grilling… The downside is that the external temperature is not nearly as accurate as the thermometer on the grill. The developer reached out to me and said that basically it can read differently based on the appliance and the location of the thermometer, and that it’s “not wrong”… that’s all well and good, but I’m a scientist and I know how to run an experiment. When I have two of them side by side in the same piece of meat reading differently, and when it’s reading the ambient temperature incorrectly (both indoors and outdoors) before it even makes it on the grill, it’s wrong. When my Primo has been cruising for 8 hours steady on at 225 and the MEATER is variable all the way to 300… it’s wrong. You went from 3 stars to 1 star by basically telling me that the reality I see and my personal experience with your device is just in my head, instead of hearing the feedback and looking for a fix. Even if you’re correct, it’s still a design flaw because I’m not getting accurate external cooking temps... I still rely on the grill thermometer instead of the MEATER. Now I’ll be looking for a different product. Good job.

Connection sometimes difficult. Often, when I open up the app, it will not allow me to establish a new cook. It does not seem to be incredibly user-friendly. But once I play around with it, I have found that if I find a prior cook, I can ask her to repeat. But I don’t know how to establish a new cook the way that I did when I first used it. However, when it does work, it seems to be great. But I wonder how I can get it to work on my phone when the phone is not within 6 feet of the smoker. I cook in the backyard and don’t know what’s going on until I actually walk the phone all the way out there and it reconnects once it is within a few feet.

If you like something perfectly rare, this is way to avoid overshooting the Mark. AND it accurately factors in "resting time" to insure maximum moisture. Otherwise "resting time" usually just turns the meat gray by the time you get around to cutting it. And there is more! If you sous-vide your meat the night before, you have to refrigerate it until the next day in the bag. How to get the center of that meat back the following day from fridge-temp to yesterdays rare-temp risks - once again -turning to meat bland and "medium"or worse!!! Using the MEATER inside the sous-vided meat, outside the bag inside a pan in the oven, allows you to get it back just to the right temperature to proceed outside the oven, with the blowtorch and still have it rare! Thanks for the awesome technology. Closest thing to Artificial Intelligence that I have - so far - found useful.

Not working right. The app quit connecting to the charging dock and will only connect directly to the probe. Now if I walk more than 6 feet away from the probe I loose connection. Tried customer service but that was useless. Couldn’t get a person & couldn’t get the answer I needed through email. Not happy. I’m now shopping for another brand. I’m using Meater Plus. The dock initially connects to the probe, indicated by the blinking light. When I try to connect with my phone via the app the light on the dock switches to blinking red and the app connects directly to the probe. How do I tell the phone app to connect to the the dock instead of directly to the probe? I’ve put fresh batteries in everything. Tried deleting the app & re loading. Still won’t work.

Great Integration with MacOs Too. It might seem funny to rate the app based on its integration with MacOs (M1 Apple Silicon on Big Sur) but the fact is that it works well on MacOs. That way I can be in the basement, on the Mac, with the probes running upstairs on the Meater Block and I can have the data concurrently on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. That's very convenient. Publishing graph data on the Mac, so I can save it in my Recipes/Cooks folder is convenient too. I also believe its a great app just for cooking - I 've used it about 200 times since getting it in the Spring of 2020 and the probes have been a game changer for everything - and especially rotesserie.

Worked for awhile. We really enjoyed our Meater Block for the 6 months that we were able to use it. If it kept working I would give it 4-5 stars. I’d sure they will keep improving on it, but ours will no longer connect. I tried to find a number to call, none available. Went through 15 steps to get to fill out a support form that hasn’t been returned. Could be a great company/product, not there yet though. (Update) Meater replaced my unit and it is working like a charm now. Update: We got our Meater Block back after a few weeks, thought it was fixed. It worked one time and then stopped working again. Wanted it to work so bad, first block worked for 10 or so steaks, next one only lasted for 1. Back to the old fashioned way.

Take all guess work out of cooking!!!. How can a company possibly make a thermometer look sexy? I didn’t know it was possible but damnit they did it. This thing is amazing. Honestly amazong is an understatement- more like revolutionary. I’m actually taken aback. I have had several “digital thermometers” in the last but this ….this is in a completely different league. Besides being a conversation piece and is on display in our kitchen, when used with the app, it’s a complete powerhouse of metrics delivered instantly to you when you need it: ambient temp, target temp, internal temp, alarms for notifications, when to pull it off the heat for resting periods…it’s also filled with features. It has been 100% accurate so far and I’ve used it about a dozen times. It completely takes the guess work out of cooking. Firstly, no wires. That’s huge. Secondly, you can choose from pre-determined meat temp settings or do your own! There are presets for all kinds of meat amd fish. A countdown helps you gauge time and timers alert you when you’re not actively watching your phone. I could go on and on but the app itself is ROCK SOLID!

Too inconsistent. I have the MEATER Plus. When it works, it’s great. It just doesn’t always work. The app and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi is way too buggy. I don’t think I’ve ever gone through a whole smoke without it disconnecting at some point. The cloud is lousy. I have to have a device at home connected to the base, and the internet in order to see what my meat is doing remotely. Even at home sitting on the couch 10ft away (inside with a huge window between) it still disconnects anytime I turn my screen off. So the base, that has to be connected to my iPad, which is connected to my phone through the cloud. It always disconnects. I guess it’s too cloudy. I smoke enough stuff, I could easily use the four pack, but I’m not about to spend that kind of money for a product that still has a lot of bugs. I’ll probably end up going with the MeatStick for the four pack bundle.

Good app, Not so great implementation. First use of the MEATER app and I have to say, visually, it’s actually decent. Looks like time was spent on aesthetics and festers that it doesn’t look thrown together. Some areas of improvement: 1. Range. The original MEATER is so terrible with range I have to have an iPad 2ft from my smoker just to connect to Wi-Fi and transmit data. While this isn’t an app issue, and I hear the + version is a bit better, the original leaves a LOT to be desired. 2. Live events not updating, or say disconnected. Despite having a reliable connection to the iPad via Bluetooth and strong Wi-Fi with the iPad, the live updates feature seems to tel me it’s been disconnected from time to time. Now this is likely due to a power saving issue but I can’t seem to work out why it randomly says disconnected when I enter the app. It quickly goes away but the purpose of live events is to not have to look at the app to see my temps. Possibly a bug here, but without knowing how it’s coded, I can’t say for sure.

Not worth the money. So far this has been one of the most unreliable products I have used and waste of money. I have the unit setup for cloud and it drops constantly. Even Bluetooth the probes drop all the time. I’ve had the probes sitting right beside the block and it still drops. It’s not my Wi-Fi it’s on the 2.4ghz phone work on the same AP. I have opened a support ticket but support just says reset the device which does not solve my problem. My final straw was my last cook the app said that my food temp was 122 degrees on one probe, but it was 204 on my instant read. The second probe was 108 and the meat was 208. I am sure that I am a one off since there are plenty of great reviews. Customer support has not been useful since the response is to factory reset the unit which does not solve the problem.

Overcooks, low range. Been using this for about a year. If I take the meat off the grill and place on a cutting board to rest immediately upon the app telling me.... the meat will cook 10-15 degrees past my target internal temp every single time. I’ve unfortunately had to learn to just remove meat as I see fit, as the app’s predictive analytics are worthless. This is my biggest complaint. Apparently the app thinks meat carries over just 3 degrees while resting. Also frustrating is the lack of range when cooking. If you close the lid on even a standard Weber kettle grill, the phone has to be within 5ft (sometimes less) of the grill to work. Pretty much makes the MEATER useless for low and slow cooking. As for cooking hot and fast, well, 500 degrees is the ambient temp limit before potentially damaging the meater, so it’s useless for that as well. It seems this device was designed without grilling in mind. The range is decent when using with a glass door oven (the phone can be anywhere in the kitchen). If I’m being picky, I will also say that because the meater is so large, it can be a bit odd looking for presentation purposes when all your slices of steak or pork tenderloin have a pencil sized hole in them unless it’s convenient/possible to stick the probe in against the grain (not always possible depending on your cut).

It Works, But Not a Great Experience. I’ve had this product for about a month now. I think the developers should take some design and functionality cues from the Fireboard app. This app looks cartoony and something a child would use, not something you’d expect to get with a $250 thermometer. The thermometer aspect works great, however the app is clunky and difficult to use. Prompts are confusing and things you would expect to be able to do (such as rename a cook after you’ve started it) aren’t possible. But if you want to touch a number and have useless colorful ring emanate from it, then this what you’re looking for. If you just want to look at a temperature from your phone, this will work for you. However it doesn’t do much more than that well.

Keeps getting better. Between the probe when it was first available at the start of it, I am thinking this is the best. I do a lot of smoked things as well,brisket, ribs,shoulders ext. thinking to myself get a couple of probes we’ll that’s when they came up with the blocks and pre order them. It seemed for ever to get it. I think I called once a month probably more. As always said working out the Kinks. Finally arrived and how great it was and the probe as well. 6-8 months down the road something was wrong with the block and would not hold a charge with the batteries. They asked me a couple of questions about the block and then said is this your current address still and just like that a brand new one was sent to me. The best of the best customer service. As well as the product.

Bad connection. Also likes to update during cooks.. Whoever is in charge of the software for this device should find a new job. It’s overly complicated to connect to. There’s no way the range is even half of what is advertise. The probe is too thick. They update the software too much for something so simple. I just need it to tell me what temp my meat is, why’re you updating the software while I’m in the middle of a cook?? Leaves little reason why this is better than my “wired” thermometers. So save your money. Update*** I love how the app does NOT tell me when my food is ready or over done. However it when it has a cooking estimate (which is always wrong) it notifies me 3 times. Then notifies me SIX times that the estimated time is 5 minutes (which is wrong).

Great but could use some improvements for low and slow. * I wish the time trend display had internal and ambient temperatures at the top. Target seems unnecessary. * I wish actual clock time was available when I touch the trend line, along with duration into cook. * my iphone doesn’t update the readings or alert unless the display is on, even though background app refresh is on. Might just be my phone *I hate it that the app automatically ends my cook as it approaches target. Sometimes I like to let it go a little over target to account for a temp drop that occurs when I unwrap the meat and put it back in the smoker to get a nice bark. This just confuses the app so it auto-ends my cook and I lose visibility and history before the actual end of the cook. *I wish I could set up a cook ahead of time with steps, estimated timing and other notes and then add observations throughout the cook and maybe a couple of photos during and after the cook. This is key to learning and improving the quality of my cooks.

Ahhmazing. So my first cook was a couple of sirloin steaks that just wouldn’t thaw in the microwave without burning the edges. Yes I know how to properly thaw meat (overnight in the fridge), but this was a last minute meal. I told my wife, let’s let the meater tell us what we need to know…threw em away from the fire in the smoker with internal starting temp at 35F. Couldn’t believe my eyes, it took 24 minutes at around 300F in my pit. Came out perfect. Can’t believe I waited this long to invest. Doing those steaks trial and error would have been a nightmare. Can’t wait to do my first brisket with it - I’ve done about 30 briskets to date, and it’s always guesswork trying to maintain the fire. Not any more!

Love this product and the app. I live this product and the app, the only thing i wish was that there was an option to save notes onto a cook so that I could note what I did or what worked well or didn’t for future cooks.

Simply delivers. Really get experience, deliverers as advertised and then more. Definitely recommend

Nee update loses connection. Love this but the most recent update keeps losing connection. Never happened before the update. Please fix asap.

Awesome. Don’t know how I cooked without it!

Best BBQ product ever made. Works as expected and takes the guess work out of BBQ and cooking

Excellent product. Couldn't be happier with the wireless thermometer and app they work perfectly together and my roasts and steaks have come out perfect everytime

Fantastic. Perfect every time.

It’s the best. My chicken and turkey were always over cooked. Since I started using the MEATER I’ve had a perfect result every time.

GREAT TOOL TO GET AWESOME RESULTS. I use this app and linked thermometer for cooking on my Weber Kettle. Have been using for over 12 mths now and still feel it worthy of 5* rating! Love that being cordless can use easily for both rotisserie and grill style cooks. Since a recent major update the connectivity is much more stable (I leave iPhone by bbq and use app on iPad in the house to monitor the cook) App is clear and well laid out, easy to customise, add alarms both on internal and ambient temperatures. I’ve had some amazing (improved!) results since using MEATER. I do try to use it to monitor ambient temperature of the bbq whilst Heating up by placing thermometer in a cold potato- wish there was a ‘pause’ option in the app so can use the setup cook function to monitor heat up and use graph/alarms features prior to commencement of main cook.

Amazing pork roast. I used the MEATER for the first time and took the guess work out of cooking. Near was juicy and tasty. I have had a habit of over cooking. Not anymore. Thanks for a wonderful cooking tool.

Shamwarimeats. Great product. Just done 19 cooks on the Weber and house oven. All done to perfection. Thanks again for a great product. Worth the money spent. Plus some

Easy to use. This meater is fantastic. So easy to use and perfect results every time!!

No for me. Haven’t been able to use it once! Won’t connect to my phone or my wife’s phone at all. Gone over everything and no luck.

Great hardware. Shame about the forced update.. I was in the middle of the cook. The app pointed out there was an update. Okay, later, I’m in the middle of a cook. After the 3rd hassle the app refused to work with out forcing an update. No internet. F.U meater. Fix your update process.

Never looked back.. First you realise you need to cook the meat to the right temp, then you realise monitoring it is better than the occasional prod with a probe. Then you are Bluetooth connected and you don’t touch it until it’s perfect. Energy efficient and time saving. Anything else is like banging two rocks together to make fire.

Dud to Stud…thanks to MEATER. Couldn’t cook, scared to cook, now the Heston cook book getting a work out due to confidence provided by MEATER

MEATER thermometer. This unit is the bomb! All the features you want in a meat thermometer. Great, easy to use app. Perfect cook every time. Great housing feature lets it charge while stored. I have mine on my fridge. I reverse sear eye fillet to 52 Celsius and then pan sear one minute each side and my friends think I’m a wizard...thoroughly recommended...👍

No range. The functionality is great, but can’t get more than 2 meters away without it disconnecting. Very frustrating.

MEATER. I have two. MEATER and a MEATER + and have seen on promotions where they can have tags to differentiate. Believe it would be good to come with the units . Also I have been told that soon it will be available to pair to Smartfire. That would be a plus.

Bluetooth and charger temperamental. Great when it’s working but often doesn’t charge or pick up Bluetooth through phone, which is quite frustrating.

No regrets. Been agonising to get this or not and wife for it for my bday. Should have Brought it long tome ago. Works a treat wit get repeated cooks

MEATER plus. Great for telling when meats cooked. Heaps of choices. Excellent product. Wireless great for spit roasting.

Best gadget ever. Love it. We never fear splurging on good meat anymore as this thing cooks it perfectly every time. We always try to see how well we chef against the gadget and every time, we are wrong!! We cooked a whole fish and we would have pulled it out 25 minutes early as surprisingly it needed to cook for almost an hour! And don’t talk about resting as we would have hacked into our meat way too early with every Cook! So this has been one of the best things we have bought. Highly recommended - We even purchase them as gifts !!

More rubbish to collect. What a waste of $499 got this stupid thing today and was going to use it on the BBQ but it wouldn’t connect a friend has one also and is having problems connecting his , save your money and buy a cheap meat probe at lease it will work , I will be sending this bit of junk back

Great product. It’s a great product, just loses wifi connection from time to time

Not stoked. I’ve had so many issues with the device disconnecting it has taken away all positives for me. After many attempts at contacting customer support no one was of any help. Then I finally got someone who said my prob was broken so they sent another. Still same issues. I can be less than 3 meters away with no obstructions and it disconnects. Very disappointed as it could be a very good product. Hence why they now have the Lester plus.

Cook time - too random. I love the wireless probe - best on the market. However when trying to manage the cook time using the app the range is way too random for my liking. You can be sitting watching cook time slowly drop and then - bang! You’ve suddenly went from 20minutes to 40 minutes and then it starts to climb. 10 minutes later it’s ready. Better accuracy on cook time would make this the best on the market.

Works perfectly. Been using it for years now. Essential for good bbqing

Accurate. We purchased meater at Christmas & have used it several times, whole chicken & whole Eye fillet, asks you how you want it cooked & has been extremely accurate every time, love it.

Squidgey. It’s By far the best thing I’ve ever bought

Love it but have range issues. I absolutely loved it when I first bought it. I’ve started to have some issues with it. 70% of the time the app won’t connect to the probe when I go to set up the cook & I have to reset my phone. I’m also having range issues with the Meater +. The charging station seems to need to be right next to the oven meaning I’m not then getting the full use of the range. I still think it’s worth every cent even with these issues I’ve started to have!!

Brilliant Product Done Right. This is a well thought out product right down to the packaging. I have a Maverick 4 probe that I love to use but I reach for this now due to the ease of using. It’s accurate with my instant read, perfect tor Rotisserie cooks. The only small negative is how far you need to push it in to the meat can make it tricky to locate it on some cuts. Say the chicken thigh on a small chicken etc. Very happy with the App, it also has been well design and functional.

Meater+. An absolutely ingenious piece of technology. Its so easy to use. I highly recommend this. I use it in my air fryer.

I love it. Unbelievable, I tossed up for a year because it fairly expensive for a thermometer but it’s worth double best thing I’ve brought absolutely love it

Don’t force an update!. Why would you make me do an update before I use it? The thing is already stuck in the meat inside a bbq and you want me to take it out, do an update and then cook my dinner! Seemed ok the first time I used it, but recently it asks to update EVERY time I use it. Painful.

Awesome. Last night was my first cook with Meater, very happy with its performance. You guys answered my prayers as I love rotisserie over charcoal and I could never use any of my other thermometers for obvious reasons. Meater out did them all by giving me precise feedback throughout. Even when inexplicably my fire was turning down ( I’m using a kettle so can’t see the coals) I was able to tweak and get back on track. Great product.

I’d be lost without it. Wireless probes, set & forget until cook times over. What more do you need….

Awesome. Don’t think about just buy it.

Fantastic. It is really good, use it all the time when cooking on the Kamado Joe.

I cook better than a chef. Now my meat is perfect every time. Brisket omg to die for. If you die I could cook you perfect too. Thanks MEATER

Forced updates. Don’t force updates the app and make “no update” not an an option. If you have connection issues it makes the product unusable.

Best purchase ever. Cooking has changed forever, originally brought the standard now the Plus.

New York cut. Absolutely mouthwatering and so easy to cook with the MEATER probe use it at least four times a week

Great cooking app. This device and app are simple to use and produces a great result every time.

Easy !!!. Make cooking so easy seeing what’s going on. Best cooking invention ever… other than fire!!

Great app and very handy, extra money for the + was a waste. Fantastic app and very user friendly, I’ve had many great cooks. Only downside is I was promised 50m range and I’m often disconnected within 20-25m.

Needs improvements should be able to tell you if its recharging. would be 5 stars except

Best probe on the market. Outstanding device. Direct or indirect, this little beauty does everything so well. Amazing graph function for long low and slow cooks. Can monitor the cook even when I was away from the grill via the cloud. Will not be disappointed.

Excellent app. I love using the meater app, it works great. I would however like to see an Apple Watch app along side this app to monitor cooks with a complication. Also a feature to pause cooks would be great as at the moment when i remove meat from the heat to wrap, the probe thinks I’m resting i.

The best meat you will ever eat. I believe I am a connoisseur of fine meat.... and this meat is good enough to eat... so I beat my own meat.

Meater plus. Garbage! On my second unit. This one is worse than the first one

Activation !!!. Just saw it on a previous review after downloading the app. You need to put your life information to create account and use the thing. Not doing it will be return, thanks for nothing

Meater. Says it’s connected…says it’s connected on software, but then it also says no probes paired and won’t start the cook

Junk. Bought my probe last Christmas and it no longer connects. Piece of crap. Waste of money.

Loses connection. I have heard nothing but great at things about the MEATER. Maybe I got a lemon but if I am more than 10 feet away it disconnects. Disappointed

Not sure. I really want to like this thing but I had issues on my first book - the app kept on disconnecting when I moved more than 5 ft from my smoker. I read below in one of the reviews that the wooden case that holds the MEATER needs to be close to the thermometer as it is the case that broadcasts the signal. I just did a soft test on that and now I am able to move freely around my house with no disconnecting.. I love how the app tells you the estimated completion time, and shows you current stats for cooking. Based on that and the above I will give it another try.

Awesome. Love it. I’ve had it for about 5 years now. Everything comes out cooked to perfection.

Disconnect issues big time!. Not too happy when it disconnects and won’t re-connect when meat is already in the oven.

Just doesn’t work. I’ve tried it 5 times. It worked the first time and was awesome. It has not worked since - ‘connection lost’ . Tried everything

Branchement. Je me bat pour le branchement à toutes fois Je suis en Bluetooth branché Impossible de se brancher dans l’application MEATER

Good for a minute. This will die. Make no mistake it will fail repeatedly in its connection and because it will fail with the probe, there is nothing you can do. Waste of money b

Requires personal information to use. This is a prime example of the IoS. I shouldn’t have to provide personal information such as my name and e-mail address to use a meat thermometer. Besides, the hardware design requires inserting the probe several inches into the meat to avoid damage to the probe, so it’s really only good for large roasts.

Loses connection ALL OF THE TIME. The probe loses connection. The charger and phone are sitting right outside the oven. Happens most of the time. I have given up on it.

Spatchcock chicken. MEATER plus worked its magic again!! This time I did a spatchcock chicken on my Napoleon bbq. It was 37° outside and using the MEATER plus allowed me to stay cool inside while it cooked on the bbq. The MEATER plus allows you to prepare the rest of the meal while the chicken is cooking outside on the grill. Tender juicy chicken with a nice crispy skin. 10 out of 10. The bonus was my house staying cool throughout the course of the cooking.

You asked for a comment. Love the function of the meater. It’s great. I don’t understand why the base has a cord if I have to use AA batteries anyway? What does the cord do? It is frustrating that it shuts itself off if you don’t have a cook preprogrammed. Also frustrating that if I leave the house I can’t check on the cook, I have to be on the wifi. The range of the base to the probes is very short. My kitchen is beside the smoker and I have to leave the base outside. Customer service is very difficult. I have tried multiple times to contact you but it’s majorly road locked to get in touch. That is disappointing. Thank you

Amazing. Thanks MEATER, I’m the best BBQr now

Piece of crap. Half the time it works fine l, the other half I’m trying to re-connect it. Taking it in and out of the meat on my smoker, losing heat and time. It’s so so so frustrating, especially when you’re trying to time food for guests. It has nothing to do with my phone because the latest iPhone, clearly the internal hardware of this device is of low quality. It’s just so disappointing, if your going to make a product, make it right.

MEATER probes and app are the best!. My MEATER set up never lets me down! No Mater what I cook, whether on the grill, in the smoker, or in the oven, it comes out cooked exactly as I dialed it in, every time! The probes work flawlessly, and the app is super easy to use! Thanks, MEATER!

Same as other reviews. Terrible connection about 10 feet, and you have to have the app open for it to stay connected. Tried 2 different ones a year apart same issue as everyone else.

It’s a thermometer!. Why to use it you have to give ur name Email address a password once you get This far you have to login then enable Bluetooth then enable wifi too Otherwise nothing works It’s a Thermometer not a streaming subscription. Very annoying

Piece of garbage. Worked okay until I changed phones. Now the new phone pairs to the block but shows zero devices connected. Throwing this out. Support is non-existent. This is garbage, especially for this price point. But thermoworks, they have quality products and stand behind them. Screw MEATER. Horrible horrible product.

MEATER Review. All the guesswork has been taking out of cooking meat with the MEATER Plus. Now chicken breast comes out juicier than ever and beef is cooked to perfect doneness.

Tomohaw. Cuisson parfaite

From kick-starter to today - still works perfect. Like the title says I was one of many kick-starter backers , the block and probes still work great today after many years and uses

Best thermometer ever!. I’ve had this for a while now and it still works great. I really like how the app works. Perfect cook every time.

Perfect gadget. Will never cook without it. Very accurate and will make anyone a better cook. Love it!!

Why do I need an account?. Sign in to use this app is nonsense. Previous versions of this app didn’t require a sign-in. It’s a meat thermometer not social media.

Meal improvement.. I am enjoying a lot more consistent results. So much juicier when not overdone!

Love the MEATER. Love the app.. Fantastic product. I use it on all my cooks. Works great for grilling, smoking, air frying and anything else I can come up with. It’s a foolproof way to cook. The app is excellent and easy to use. It never fails me.

MEATER. Can’t tell you enough about this tool!! Works spot on time and time again!!

Worked only a couple of times. Frustrated. Seems battery goes dead, no connection, always something wrong. Has worked 2 out of 10 times.

OK thermometer.. This thermometer is quite accurate but my only criticism is that you can only have your phone 5 feet away from it or else it will constantly disconnects.

Junk. I would give it zero stars if I could. I don’t think this thing has ever worked properly without constantly disconnecting and when it does stay connected - rare is always well done. I’ve learned to pull my roast off when the internal temp says 30c and it always turn out as medium rare. I do not recommend

Perfect!. Always spot on. Great app and a great product!

Probe Connection. I have the block with 4 probes but they are constantly disconnecting during cooking and the food ends up over cooking because the probes aren’t working. It could be just my block and probes have something wrong with them but I’m not prepared to spend another $400 to find out.

Works okay, but the app is annoying.. Tons of Bluetooth issues, which isn’t a big deal, except for the fact that the timer stops every time the Bluetooth drops. I’m actually using that timer. Just let it run. Stop pausing it just because the Bluetooth drops. I’m using it to time my flips! So annoying having to use a timer separate from the MEATER app.

Not really satisfied. The probes are too sensitive, and quickly become defective, if you don’t pay attention, and the heat goes above 510… I had to buy new probes after 3 months.

Too short a range. Have had these for 2 years and have to put the block beside the smoke can’t have it in the house unfortunately as it can’t connect to probes in smoker. It is 5-6 feet from inside house(glass sunroom) to Smoker. So on a long cook need an umbrella to keep block out of the rain/snow.

Perfect cook every time. I love this probe! Best option on the market. The only snag I find is that the Bluetooth range could be at a greater distance than what is available with the model I have. Will buy again and again

Drops to often. Drops often. Put a lid on roaster in oven or if on BBQ, close lid and drops. Frustrating!

Meater. Best tool in the drawer. Couldn’t imagine life without it 😊

connection???. Always always drops connection when put inside the smoker!! Block as close to the smoker as possible but always drops connection. Don’t think I’ve ever done a full cook without dropping connection. Very very disappointed!!! I would never buy again as I end up always using my wired thermometers!!! These sit in the drawer gathering dust!!!

Ambient Temp is out of Whack. I’ve been in contact with customer service for the ambient temp for almost 3 weeks and they are extremely tough to get a reply back from. I’ve sent them everything they asked for and haven’t heard from them in over a week. If I could give them a 0 star rating, I would. Customer service is absolutely atrocious.

Just ok. It only works over Bluetooth so I still have to be fairly close. It also sends incessant notifications for things like the estimated cook time remaining, which is always way off anyway. One notification is more than enough.

Meater+. I’ve had two meater+ thermometers for 2 years now. They are great! Easy to use and nice to have the option of cooking multiple meats and seeing the info on the same screen using the two together. Highly recommend!

Bad connection all the time.. Brutal waste of money

JUNK!!. 2 Probes won’t stay connected to the block and the block is beside the Smoker. The 2 probes that stayed connected only updated temp for the start of the cook and never climbed after. Says all batteries are charged and wifi is connected. JUNK!!!

Best gadget for cooks. Works great. No more guess work. Perfect cooks especially for big expensive pieces of meat. Give away several Meaters as gifts to family and friends.

Love it. Thought I wouldn’t, but I do.. I was dubious of the thickness of the probe. Hard to put into smaller pieces of meat. I found that I don’t really need a probe for the smaller pieces. I use the heck out of it for the thick roasts and loins. Awesome for smoking brisket. Wish the range was a bit larger because the smoker is in the shop but I am in there putting sticks to the fire anyway so not a big issue. A definite win. I need another.

Easy to use app.. Clear and easy step by step to setup your MEATER device. Accurate internal and external temperature settings to get perfect results.

Great idea, but probes stink. The original MEATER is how I started and because the probe got ‘burnt’ and stopped working, I ‘upgraded to the block. Two of the three probes stopped working after the second cook. At least two probes have kept working. I hope they figure it out. These are too expensive to keep buying. When these final two stop, I probably will research if these work better, and go from there.

Great app, but needs a companion app for Apple Watch.. The app works well … no hiccups or problems connecting. However, I would like to see an app for the Apple Watch as well; that way, while waiting for my cook to complete, I can just glance down at my watch to see how far along it is. The Meater notifications will appear on my Apple Watch, but that’s all … there’s no dedicated app for the Watch where I can monitor progress.

Just get it. Totally worth it. I’ve tried multiple remote probes and this is hands down the best I’ve used. You don’t know how much of a hassle wires are until you don’t have them, and you won’t miss them. The app is easy to use and the notifications actually work. The only gotcha is the range from the base station to your device - if you’re using the MEATER or MEATER +. I plan to upgrade to the MEATER block, which removes the need to stay close or dedicate a device while on a cook.

Works fine with Iphone app. Works fine with IPad app. Not so with Apple Watch. Asks to connect via cloud with phone. And though it is, watch app doesn’t mirror phone like it should. And the “probe” not connecting message to me means probe connected fine with phone but watch app decides it isn’t so. Looked at reviews to see if anybody was praising the watch app. Haven’t found one positive yet. But read responses that did not apply to the solution which is app needs more work. Not reaching out for support. As can wait and see if watch app ever works as it should. Not wasting my time troubleshooting.

Probe over temp locks the app!. This cook was really frustrating. Probe 2 ended up in a thinner part of the roast. It went into ‘over temp’ while probe 1 was reading correctly in a thicker part of the same roast. Probes 3 and 4 were in a different roast and reading correctly. The alert screen for probe 2 locked the app. All it said was probe 2 and warning over temperature. But I couldn’t exit the screen to end the cook on probe 2 or see the status of the other probes. Also the alarm kept sounding on my iphone speaker at full volume even though I had the phone on silent. This caused quite a bit of stress in my house. Please fix this alert screen issue. Allow it to be clicked through so the cook can be ended and the other probes accessed. My other roast was at a critical point and this bug caused me to blindly take that other roast off the smoker. It may be ruined, which would be a shame. I uninstalled the app to clear the alarms on the home screen of my iphone. That’s the only way I can figure out how to do it. I’ll re-install next time I need the meater and I hope it’s fixed.

MEATER-MADE. I had not used a temperature probe to monitor cooking (doneness) before using my MEATER Probe. No more guessing or slicing into meats to check doneness on the griddle. The relative cook temperatures for rare through well done are very accurate from my experience. Big bone-in Chicken Breasts come out perfect and moist not dried out. Fajita and Steaks just right. I don’t cook without it whether baking, broiling or grilling. The MEATER ensures that all that prep work turns out into your showcase meal cooked to perfection. Best investment I’ve made in my chef confidence builder.

My view. The meter is outstanding. It will definitely get your meat to desired done this perfectly every time. It is great for the air fryer and it’s great for the grill or even the oven. I’ve tried all methods and it’s still dead on accurate. The only thing I would say that is an issue is the distance you’re allowed to be away from it and still have a connection. It should be increased or changed to where you can connect via Wi-Fi.

Meater Customer Service fixed my issue - 5 stars!. I have had my meater for over a year, and liked it, but was not aware until 5 minutes ago that the block needs to be within 10 feet of the probe/grill. I had my block plugged in at least 40 feet away, and thought the Meater was defective....Now I know it was me who was defective. Thank You Meater Customer Support! BTW - The Instructional videos are really good!

Worthless. Wanted this product to do one thing, check the internal temperature of the meat I’m cooking. This product acts like it needs friends, it won’t let you just use the thermometer without trying to keep you on the line for an hour. Once you’ve registered and downloaded everything you expect it’s finally time to see what temp the meats at.....nope nice try, gotta sign up for just a few more things. Oh also we need to run you through 15 min of what cooking time means.....and another ten minutes of downloading....meanwhile the pork is on the grill with this thermometer inside it. Need a wireless thermometer? Want it to do one thing without asking a bunch of questions? Definitely don’t get this product

Works great. Quite the addition to anyone who loves smoking/grilling! Makes all the difference for checking temps consistently. Keeps you aware of what is going on. I cook a lot on an egg, and this has been a game changer. Connectivity is a little weak, but easy to overcome with a multi device situation, one as a “home base” and then you can check in on your meat anywhere. It has been the perfect addition for me!

Best Probe You Can Stick in Your Meat. I am on my second MEATER probe. I got it specifically because it’s wireless. Nothing sticking out of the grill costing me BTUs or sacrificing smoke. Also does meat and ambient temps with one probe. This tool makes smoking, grilling, and cooking meat enjoyable for everyone. Issues or concerns are answered by the company within days. Developers are always improving their app and welcome feedback after every cook. Only wish there was a better cloud system or an Apple Watch app. This would allow a user to monitor cooks better while away from the grill.

Useful. This is actually a useful app. I use it every time I cook meat. My only complaint is that it very suddenly forced me to watch a bunch of educational videos on how to use it with no way of bypassing it and just starting a cook. Yes, the videos are short, but I wasn't expecting it when I'm at the grill about to start and then suddenly have to wait for these videos to end before I can set up the thermometer. What's weird is that this happened over a year into my use of this product so . . .

Great tool for great food!. This is a fantastic tool to take the guesswork out of your cooks. It works on all kinds of meats & is easy to use. There are no wires to fuss with either. Best of all, it is quite accurate. It tracks both the internal temp as well as the ambient temp all in one probe. It can be used for smoking meat, rotisserie, grilling, etc. The app is easy to set up & I use another device to pair it with for Meater link or cloud. I've had no problems with signal or connection. I use it on my grill, oven, & Green Egg. I highly recommend this product!

Annoying app update. Love the wireless thermometer. Have been using for about 10 months. Love the app. Hate the fact that it just now forced me to update the app before I could begin cook. Chicken was all prepped and ready to go, guests were waiting. Tried to set up new cook and could not do it until updating the app. Had just used it a couple of weeks ago and no mention of new app at that time. This is sloppy version management and inexcusable. So fellow MEATER users beware. Check the app in advance of your cook. The update takes 10 minutes or so.

Great probe as long as you’re close. The Meater probe is greatIn terms of its temperature reading Fidelity and it’s ease-of-use. Set up is easy. So far I have to be pretty close to the probe and box with my phoneIn order to get the readings. And that’s even hooked up to my home Wi-Fi. Seems to be an issue with a lot of these meat thermometers. It reads temperatures up to about 550 in terms of the ambient temperature. I’m sure there are a lot of technical issues however it would be nice to have one that can tolerate temperature is up to about 900

Outstanding device. I have to say I’m really impressed with this device and the app. I’ve been completely satisfied with every cook that I’ve used this with. The app tells you when to pull the food from the heat, how long it needs to rest to make sure that you’re getting the best possible result. The only word of caution is when using direct heat you can get up to the 500 degree max temp for the probe easily so just watch out for that.

Holiday Roast game changer. I was given a MEATER as a present and left it in a drawer for a year. Why do I need this? Finally I figured I would try it once and then either use it or get rid of it. I used it on a prime rib. MEATER is a Total game changer! So simple: I set my target temp, close the oven door and I’m off to do other things. It hits my temp, I remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, and I have absolutely perfectly cooked prime rib roast. After a lonely year in the drawer, my MEATER gets a lot of attention now. I use it all the time.

Slightly outdated app.. The actual hardware that makes up The MEATER Block is really good, great Wi-Fi antenna, ultra fast setup, easy to move around, and outstanding battery life. However, the app itself is a bit clunky... I often find that the UX design is pretty lacking, and is trying to do way too much at one time. Navigating settings, and making a custom cook are cumbersome... I also wish that the app was better at utilizing multitasking features better as the app has to be re-opened every time I got to check on a cook... Lastly, I would love to see a MEATER Widget for iOS 14 that would allow you to see a cook at a glance(even if there was a hit to my battery life).

Excellent tool for great BBQ. I’ve never been very good or diligent on the BBQ. But the MEATER has been very helpful in improving the quality of my BBQing. It takes all the guess work out of the temperature and the timing. No more overcooked or undercooked meat/poultry. It was a bit difficult for me to figure out the setup, but the information provided got me through it. Now if I just do more BBQing I’ll get the sequence of operation down better. I would highly recommend this tool for novices and experts!

Perfect meat every time. However you like your meat (hard, rare, medium-rare, medium), this gets you there every time. Since getting this, I have not mis-cooked a single piece of meat. The only thing to note is: remove your meat from the heat when it gives you the 5 degree warning. When you remove it (and cover it with foil, to rest) the internal temperature will come up to the target temp within a few minutes.

Best grilling tool ever!. I am pretty good at timing my meats on the grill, but when in doubt I use thermometers. Had one with cable, it melted once and never used it again. Got MEATER as a present from my wife and I can’t believe how accurate it is! Takes away the guessing. Nothing worse than putting great inch and a half rib eyes on the table and cut them and see they are under or over done. This thermometer is perfect! Had a little issues at the begging with the Wi-Fi but has not acted up again! 🤞. Congrats on a great product!!!!

Game Changer. Takes the guess work out time and temperature for smoking / cooking on a BIg Green Egg. Used to trust the built in thermometer and would have to baby sit it the whole time. Now I select the meat on the app, suggested time and it constantly gives you feed back on the meat and grate temperature and estimated time for completion. Small adjustments here and there, it saves a lot of time on monitoring. My only con is that it does not have the remote range as it says it should. I just keep my phone closer to the smoker. Got this as a Father’s Day gift.

Love hate deal. I love the MEATER probe in what they do and making it super easy to monitor your food but I had the single for a while it was great I got the MEATER block and have had Wi-Fi connecting issues as well as prove connecting issues and it’s only a year and half old and the batteries sitting in the drawer in the off mode only last a 6months I would recommend rechargeable because every time I go to use it I have to replace batteries. And I have to have the MEATER block with in 6’ or less to get constant readings and it’s connected to my 2g google fiber so I love what it does I recommend them all the time hopefully someone has better luck than me

Terrible setup hampers a great product. The Meater worked very well. Once configured, the app monitored cooking and the timing suggested by the app was spot on. It worked exact as expected. Configuration was a little more difficult. Setting up a thermometer, the app interacts strangely with stored passwords. It’s incredibly awkward to create the Meater Cloud account, as the password fields seem unable to hold the password when moving between them. After a great deal of trying and retrying to enter things, I was able to register my account. It’s an incredibly frustrating initial experience.

Disappointed. Ambient temperature is always wrong. From 20 to 200 degrees off on every cook. Constantly looses connection despite the block being right next to the grill. The cloud is a joke and won’t keep other devices updated unless the app is always open and screen is on. Tech support is a joke. They make excuses for all of these shortcomings. So probe does not work as advertised. They charge a rerun fee of 25%, so you can’t even try the item to see if you like it. Also the app has no ability to turn off marketing adds while leaving the other notifications on. All around poor product and poor app.

Love the Meater! But…. I just wish it had the connectivity through WiFi that would allow me to take my phone anywhere and know the numbers… unfortunately they want me to buy a “new model” that is better with that. Ugh. So I have to keep the Meater box next to the grill, and my phone within 20-25 feet it seems. Pretty annoying but it still does the job I guess.

I loved my first MEATER but…. Used my first MEATER for years until it fell apart. Years of roasting to perfection! After I wore out the first one I spent $99 on a MEATER+ for the extra range. What a rip off! Vastly inferior to the original MEATER. The range is so pathetic, I have to hold my iPhone right over the grill to get a reading. The instructions say that placing the charging station close by improves the range. Does it bollocks! The MEATER+ is a an epic fail. UPDATE!! - the first time I moved the charger towards the MEATER when it was already in use, I saw no change, but the next time, with the charger already adjacent from the start, I got the extra range. It really does work, but these subtle nuances in usage are important.

Frustrated using product & no customer service. Get a continuous loop of "watch video" when trying to set cook up. The two times I was able to set a target cook temp, the probe kept disconnecting from my app on my phone even having the block situated a couple feet from the oven. The whole point of getting the MEATER thermometer block was because of the advertised message that you could be doing other activities elsewhere and be alerted on your phone when food was cooked. Apparently when you do get thermometers working you have to be in same room. There's no live chat or telephone on app to connect with a live person to resolve issues. So very frustrated.

Probe won’t connect. I have been using the MEATER plus for about a 6-9 months. I can only get the probe to connect to the charger (which connects to the phone) about half the time. Additionally, if I DO get it to connect, it will always, inevitably disconnect half way through or towards the end of my cook. I literally have to have a backup thermometer for WHEN (not if) it eventually disconnects. I don’t know that I can recommend this product to anyone, unfortunately. I really wanted to love it.

PB Laredo 1000. Love this Smoker. Had another very expensive Smoker. I like PitBoss. I’ve had this one for just over a year, done everything. Ribs, Butts, Shoulders, Wings, Breast, whole chickens, whole turkeys, Briskets, Roasts, fresh Brats, Pizza, Apple pies and more. I’ve done it all. I live in SW CO and I have to block the wind off it so it doesn’t blow out. But nothing stops me, not wind, rain, snow or subzero temps. Right now I’m finishing off 12 slabs of St Louis’s. 6 at a time in this baby. Big Birthday party Saturday. I also have a PB Tailgater to go camping with. “Hail to the PITBOSS”🥂 RCnCO

The Gold Standard of Temperature Probes and Apps. The MEATER probes and app are a perfect combination for anyone serious about grilling, roasting, and smoking meats. The wireless probes are a distinct advantage, especially for using a rotisserie. I have had no issues with Wi-Fi or blue tooth connections with my Kamado grill. Distance has not been an issue; it is over 50 feet from my grill location to my house. If I could improve the app, I would increase the number of reminders available during a cook from the current limit of four.

Fickle MEATER; update, fixed. I’ve used my MEATER about five times and have had success on three occasions. Two time it wouldn’t open up on the app at all. Just disappointing to have such an unreliable start up on it. The other time that it worked properly I liked it a lot. But consistency is key. Revision: it was a problem with my not having cleaned off the baked on smoke film on the end of the MEATER. It wasn’t getting a contact to the terminal and didn’t charge. I cleaned it with the edge of a sharp knife and now my MEATER it is working as it should.

Unreliable and worst support. On second use, the MEATER would not connect to my iPhone. I filled out the support request detailing what I’d done: Washed and scrubbed per video. Deleted and reloaded app. Verified the LED was lit. Checked that battery was good. Four days later I got an email instructing me to do all this. Two stupid emails and ten days later they asked me to test connections on the thing. I did, they were good and it now connects to my iPhone. I never — nor did they — do anything. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. It worked ok on the occasion I used it. But it only makes sense on a big cut. There is not room to place in a hamburger or a pork chop. Big meat equals company and a special event. Is an unreliable thermometer useful in that circumstance? Not for me.

Stop abusing notification privileges. Today I got a notification about checking my meater. Considering I just moved, and it’s not set up anywhere, this really really annoys me. I allow this app to notify me because it needs that capability when I’m using the probe. Under no circumstances should you notify for anything else. This is abusing the trust I give your application, and is why I am giving you a 3 star review. I now will begin looking for a different digital thermometer that will not abuse my trust, and I’ll be returning the two I got as gifts.

Godawful App. The app is so desperate to show me videos and become an intimate part of my life. It’s just a thermometer. Let me shove it in my roast and be done with it. Why does it need a login? Again, it’s just a thermometer. Also does not help with poultry and smaller cuts since it’s too long. Also the charging is annoying since it charges off a battery and it’s unclear the level of charge. Also… it wants wifi for some reason, even though it’s obviously a Bluetooth device. Loses connection all the time. Less data collection, more testing & functionality. I guess it kinda work.

MEATER. First use was 3-2-1 ribs out on barbecue grill. Delicious. Had to leave my cell phone beside the grill and synced it to my iPad in the house - it got a little tricky keeping it synced since it started raining the last hour of cooking. Wish I had known about the MEATER+! I then loaned it to my daughter to cook the turkey in her oven for Thanksgiving. It cooked much sooner than she was expecting and it was so delicious and juicy, saving us all from a dry turkey had she continued to cook it. Then I cooked chicken thighs in our oven and they were perfect! Love knowing when the meat will be done so I can coordinate the sides for the full meal.

Best WiFi meat thermometer on the market today !. I been using ThermoWorks Smoke and this is by far better. I’ve cooked different meats at the same time and it was flawless. I’ve always struggled with Tuna steaks but not anymore. The ease of setting up the app on my iPhone was simple and using the app is even easier. I love the ambient temperature readings. It showed me where my grill had heat variations when cooking. I have a commercial smoker and this allows me to smoke four different types of meat at the same time. I’m very pleased with the product. I’ve used it for four months.

I like it, but…. Update: MEATER responded to my original review and explained how to get Ambient alerts. I have validated and I’m quite happy, did my 3rd cook and I’m a fan! Original: First cook with the Meater Block. I bought it for the rotisserie, because wired have a hard time with that. Everything is decent, however there are no settings or alerts for ambient temperature monitoring. I like to make sure I stay in an ambient temperature range without having to watch the grill. Please Meater, ambient temperature monitoring? Please?

Works great. This thing works great as long as you use it correctly. The charging station has to be close to the probe all the time. I magnet mine to the front of the grill then my phone will read it almost anywhere in my house, if my wife home doesn’t reach I’ll leave it inside somewhere and I can read everything from my watch. I love this thing and use it all of the time.

MEATER Block it’s worth every penny,love it…. I own MEATER+ for quite a time and very happy, I want to have more probs and better range and I decide to buy MEATER Block Brown sugar color beautiful ,I am very pleased with the product,very well made and finally, I can go whatever I want and monitoring temperature in my Kamado Joe on my phone or i watch and the app is so beautiful and easy to navigate light-years from other brands. Highly recommend this product.

MEATER. Really like the meater. Two things I would like to see. One is a place on the previous cooked sessions you can view would be to have a spot for notes for future cooks. Cook longer, Cook less time etc. brined for so long etc.... One more thing I would like to see is something fireboard does and that would be the option to share the cooking chart/ time live with a link rather than having to sign into the cloud. Whoever is signed into the cloud can make changes remotely but anybody with the link can just view the cook.

Unreliable connection. I used the thermometer for the first time last night on the grill. As long as I didn’t travel too far, it stayed connected. The ribeye turned out great. Tonight I am trying it with chicken in the oven of my range. Only with the oven door open is it able to stay connected and my phone is virtually in the oven too it is so close. I’m guessing the metal If the range is just too much for this device. I will return often to open the door.

Undercooks by a mile, consistently. I like gadgets, and was seduced by Meater’s level of gadgetry. It would be fun to use, too, if it were even remotely accurate. Every single time I have used it, probably a dozen times now, it has always fallen short. Today was the perfect example.… I made a beef Wellington, and when the meter said it was at 140° inside temperature, I let it rest, and cut into it. It was raw inside and not even warm to the touch. And yes, I had placed the thermometer properly. Thank goodness it was undercooked rather than overcooked which would have ruined a very expensive piece of meat. I’ve had the same experience with other cuts of meat in the oven, and out on the Weber Grill, (by the way, the Bluetooth signal will scarcely penetrate the lid on a weber kettle, so if you go any further than about 5 feet away, you lose the signal. Not very practical), and I just can’t rely on this anymore. I’ll just consider this a very expensive lesson in “let the buyer beware.”

best thermometer ever!. I love my meter thermometer I've used it hundreds and hundreds of times over the years last year about the Meater block and I love it. I also have the single Meater plus so I have five thermometers to keep track of all my meds on my barbecues.! Everything comes out perfect every time no guesswork I love the long range Bluetooth so I can monitor it inside my house while my food is slowly cooking on my Kamodo grill outside.

Very nice features. The app has some nice features like graphing out temperatures and the predicting how much longer the cook will take. One improvement that would be nice for longer cooks is the ability to set an alarm when the protein hits the stall. And another when it's time to rest. It would be really nice if it just told you that the meat was in the stall. Wouldn't be that hard to do to have it check the last 30 minutes or so of internal temps and if they are they same, send an alert that the meat is in a stall.

Game-changer for home cooking. Meater has made home-cooking so much easier, taking the guesswork out completely and given me freedom to multitask in the kitchen knowing I’ll be notified when my meat is ready. I’ve been using it for months now and especially love using it on thick steaks, chicken breast, and whole birds. I’d never braved a Thanksgiving turkey before, but cooked my first one solo with the help of Meater and it came out perfectly! So simple to use too! The app guides you through everything.

Constant connection issues. Every time I use the probe, I have connection issues. iPhone 14 latest firmware update. No improvement. iPhone XS Max. No improvement. Perfectly clean probe. Well charged battery, constant connection issues. Had I known it was going to be this much of a fight to take internal temperatures of meat I would’ve never bought it. Further, the meater probe does not work on long cooks such as shoulders, butts or briskets. The device is not smart enough to measure the cooking time through the stall. If it doesn’t work during long cooks then as far as I’m concerned, there’s virtually zero competitive points of difference between the meter and a standard digital probe.

Amazing!. The app and MEATER are so easy to use. I love that it also helps with knowing when to take the meat off of heat to rest and continue cooking to finish off. Such an amazing experience. We will be purchasing more. One bit of constructive criticism would be making a better looking UI. It’s not the most attractive app but it is extremely functional. So I’ll take functionality over a beautiful UI any day. That’s why I gave a 5 star.

User for many years! Product rocks. Both the probes and the app simply rock! This product makes smoking and grilling very predictable with targeted outcomes by being able to set the desired donneness for all types of meat. The companstands behind their products and they continue to upgrade the app such that the user experience and final cook is always a hit at our dinner table! At this price it’s a no brainer if you want great tasting food!

It takes the guesswork out of grilling!. After two short weeks of using the MEATER block I am without a doubt sold on the product. Can place multiple meats on the grill and monitor their progress with ease. I did put the meater block on AC power supply and they are always ready for my next adventure. Have used them on the grill, air fryer and our stove, my wife became a major fan after one meatloaf. Wish I had purchased them sooner …!
