Ottimo, ma con un paio di difetti

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on 5 March 2023

Verified Purchase

Ho acquistato questo termometro perchè sono un super appassionato di bbq e questo oggetto non poteva certo mancare.
Mi è piaciuto molto, partiamo dal packaging, denota immediatamente un oggetto di qualità, il termometro è davvero bello da vedere e ben fatto, con materiali di pregio, la base calamitata permette di esporlo e utilizzarlo in modo elegante.
Altra cosa che mi ha sorpreso positivamente è l'applicazione, davvero ben fatta, oltre a quello che viene descritto ci sono tantissime chicche, cerco di raccoglierne alcune con degli screenshot, come per esempio il grafico di fine cottura che indica il tempo e le 2 temperature, questo è utile anche perchè vengono salvate all'interno dell' app con il tipo di pietanza (tra quelle suggerite o modificata da noi) e ci può servire per cotture future.
L'ho utilizzato 2 volte per cotture di circa 6-7 ore e anche in foil si è comportato egregiamente, per questi tipi di cotture è indispensabile un termometro, per empio il pulled pork necessita di una temperatura di 95 gradi per far si che si sciolga il collagene, a breve cucinerò la porchetta sullo spiedo, essendo in movimento sarà molto comodo utilizzare un termometro senza fili.
Difetti? bè più di uno, il principale è la dimensione, a parer mio non è utilizzabile su tagli di carne fini come viene mostrato nelle immagini, soprattutto perchè la sonda non può assolutamente stare vicina alla fonte di calore, andrebbe in allarme in poco tempo e poi crea un grosso solco nel taglio da cuocere questo lo rende poco versatile e adatto a smanettoni del bbq come noi!!!
Altro difetto è la connessione, Meater Plus promette fino a 50 metri ma in alcuni casi perdeva la connessione a 10 metri con solo una finestra chiusa come ostacolo.
Ultima nota il prezzo, davvero alto, non lo giudico un difetto dal momento che il prodotto denota un'alta qualità.
In definitiva lo ricomprerei certamente ma per un armamento da super grigliatore acquisterò un altro termometro, a filo dalle dimensioni ridotte e più economico.
spero che questa recensione sia stata utile.

Love the Meater Plus. Accurate, versatile, great range, easy to use.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 7 November 2022

My husband bought me the original Meater for Christmas a few years ago, and I returned it since the range was poor and it didn't work inside most of my appliance. I have since bought the Meater Plus and I love it. Although some of my appliance have built in probes, some of them don't.

Although I do have an Instant Read probe that I still use to verify doneness of proteins, the Meater Plus is so much easier to use and you don't have to constantly check the food so it doesn't get over or undercooked. I am an experienced cook, but as you know foods can look done on the outside, but you can't see how well done they are on the inside. This Meater Plus is the perfect solution for perfectly cooked proteins and other foods.

So what do I love about the Meater Plus?
1 - It works using an app that can be downloaded for either phones or tablets using Android or IOS operating systems.
2 - It easily connects using Bluetooth and the Meater cloud through your router.
3 - In the app settings, you can set your preferences for the various alarms.
4 - When a done temperature preference is set in the app for a cook, the app will let you know when the food is done, and allow for a resting period when the temperature will increase. So, for example, if you want a medium rare steak and set the temperature for 130 degrees, the app will tell you the steak is done at 125 degrees and allow for a 5 minute resting period that the temperature will increase to 130 degrees. This means perfectly done proteins every time.
5 - You can choose a preset in the app, and then modify it to your preference.
6 - This probe works well to monitor food inside any oven and even in cookers like the Ninja Speedi, Ninja grills, and pressure cookers.
7 - Cooking progress can be monitored wherever you can take your phone or tablet in the house. You don't have to stay in the kitchen.
8- Works with rotisseries where wired probes aren't practical.
9 - Can be connected to Alexa for notifications.
10 - The base unit is powered by an "A" battery, and pressing a button lets you know if the battery is still good. The probe is charged in the base unit.
11 - The base unit is magnetized so it can be stored on the side of any metal appliance. This means not having to find it in a cabinet or drawer. I have two of these, and keep them on the side of my Anova oven so they are always handy.

I have used this Meater Plus in my ovens, the Ninja Speedi, and in my pressure cookers with great results. I have the app on my phone, and can take my phone in the family room while I watch TV and still monitor the progress of my food cooking. I also like the display of the ambient temperature. This tells you whether your oven is actually getting to the temperature you set it to. In my experience, many ovens never reach the temperature you set, so trying to estimate when your food will be cooked is all guesswork. The Meater Plus takes the guesswork out of cooking. Once you set a done temperature, the app estimates when your food will be fully cooked. This make is so much easier to make sure all of the other components of your meal will be done and hot at the same time. No matter how experienced you are in cooking, there is always a certain amount of guesswork in knowing when foods are cooked to the preferred doneness. The Meater Plus eliminates some of the guesswork. I should also mention that the range of the Meater Plus is greater if you remove the probe from the holder before opening the app. This was mentioned by one other reviewer.

I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update this review if my opinion changes or I find more ways to use it.

Game changer

Bought this for my wife. I figured I'd get to use it too. The first time we used it, we grilled steaks. Perfect. Tried them on a pork loin roast. Moist and yummy. Tried it on nice salmon fillets. Just right.

Everything about this is great. I didn't get the block that has multiple probes because of the cost. When grilling several steaks at the same time, I put it in the smallest one and when the app tells you to take it off, I take the smallest one off and leave the bigger ones on for another minuet.

Several years ago, I started grilling with a thermometer to check the internal temp of the meat and have stopped drying out things. I don't know what took me so long... This probe makes it fool proof because you keep an eye on your phone for how long you have left and don't have to keep opening the grill and stabbing a thermometer into the meat. I was a little skeptical during the first try because fillets are too expensive to experiment with but the results were fantastic.

It tells you how long to rest the meat (if necessary) before you tear into it. I just really like this thing. Keep it clean and keep it in the charger so it's ready next time you need it.

I haven't tried it on a smoker yet but will soon and will update this review.

Meater Plus und die Reichweite

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 26 March 2023

Verified Purchase

Meater Plus - eigentlich ein tolles Werkzeug wenn es denn all die versprochenen Eigenschaften uneingeschränkt hätte. Das große Manko des Meater Plus ist die eingeschränkte Verbindungsqualität bei Bluetoothverbindungen. Sobald ein bis zwei Hauswände zwischen Sender und Handy sind ist es um die Verbindung geschehen. Also: Grill im Garten und weitere Vorbereitungen im Haus vornehmen geht nicht. Ein kurzer Sprint Richtung Sender/Grill und man bekommt die gewünschte Information. Bis man wieder im Haus ist.

Dass das Ganze unter WLAN oder über eine Cloud besser funktioniert mag sein. Aber nicht jeder hat ein zweites Handy als Zugang zum WLAN zur Verfügung.

Die eigentliche Funktion als Thermometer ist sehr gut. Alles auf den Punkt gegart. Hier gibt es nichts zu beanstanden.

Cooles Fleischthermometer, vor allem, da es kabellos funktioniert. Nutze es beim Grillen und auch beim Kochen im Ofen – die Ergebnisse sind nahezu perfekt einziges Minus, bei 275 Grad ist Schluss laut Hersteller, und wie man weiß wird es doch in einem guten Grill manchmal heißer. Trotzdem hatte ich bisher noch nie Probleme.

Good product

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 26 October 2020

The Good:
The design is slick and well thought out. The app for the Meater works well and the accuracy is spot on. A green light flashes on the base if the thermoprobe is within range and connected. It flashes red if not. The app will tell you as well if you are connected. The base station will give you considerable more range than advertised, but see the next section for the caveats. The app also has settings to change the different alerts. You can only choose from their list of sounds which is considerably less than the full array you have on the iPhone, but still, there are four alarms and maybe 12 or so sounds to choose from. No need for too many. The initial settings were just fine for me. They have just updated the app to add all sorts of carnivorous delights you can cook with the probe. From venison to kangaroo. This is a nice addition as I often go in for antelope and other less common meats.

The Bad:
The instructions leave a little to be desired, but it is not hard to figure out unless you are the easily frustrated type. There is a card in the box for support and the website has support as well. The Meater + comes with a bamboo magnetic base for charging and storage and in the back it has a repeater to get to the 165' range it touts. The base (and I assume the basic Meater) must be within 33' of the base for ovens and some types of grills. For smokers it is much closer. That number is in the fine print. In the case of the Orion Cooker I have, I can get the base station to recognize the thermoprobe about 12' away, through the smoker and the window to the breakfast nook. The base station has to stay there so it can connect to the probe. Once connected the app can pick up the base station, and thus the probe) all over my house and considerably farther away than 165'. But if someone moves the base it might disconnect and then you won't get updates or alarms and you might overcook your meat.

The Ugly
There isn't much wrong with this unit and I do recommend it to others. That said, it is a bit misleading (or just obtuse writing) which will lead you to believe that you can just plop the probe in some meat and your phone will pick it up all over the house. I read several reviews (and one YouTube video) that slammed the Meater for the short range despite the fact it is in the literature and on their site. It is probably not as prominent as it should be, but think about it, how can a little probe hold a battery, two thermoresitors, and an antennae and get 165' range? Not with today's tech I fear. Maybe when the Federation is founded. Either way, if they were a bit clearer about that for the Meater and instructions to first remove the probe before using the app. My guess is those who had issues already had the app open and so the probe paired with the phone and they didn't get the range they desired.

Some Pointers
If you turn on the app then remove the probe, the probe will connect to the app/phone and your range is now 33' (10' for a smoker). What is not said is that you have to fully exit and quit the app (swipe up on Apple), then remove the probe which causes it to pair with the base. Then open the app and your phone will pair with the base. Place the base where it is still flashing green when the probe is in the meat and the lid shut. Now you can use it all over the place. The app will show if it is connected properly and if it is not. I didn't notice where an alarm would sound if the base and probe stop syncing. If it doesn't have one that would be a nice addition. A nice loud one that vibrates as well.

Wish list
They make a basic Meater with four probes, which is a great idea if you are smoking different meats at the same time, or maybe just using the smoker, the grill, and the oven at the same time. I wish they had something like that for the Meater +. I assume it will come out at some point. Then again, I rarely would need more than one as I'm not running a restaurant. Also, I wish the magnets on the back were a bit stronger. For some reason my fridge it will slip down a few inches before attracting to some metal large enough for it to grab onto. Other kitchen items like the pot rack and microwave side have the same issues. I just think the weight of the base, battery, and probe are too much for the magnets to support.

Bottom line, great unit, does what it says (even if you didn't read all it says). Just remember to remove the probe from the base first before opening the app or your range will be that of the basic Meater.
