Gizmo review

[Larsky]

So, I got me a wireless thermometer. Good for long cooks, and when opening the oven is a no-no. Got the base model:

Meater - The Best Selling Smart Meat Thermometer

Remove the guesswork from cooking with MEATER, the smartest cooking thermometer for your BBQ and Kitchen.

meater.com

Did a test run on a pork loin. If it went bad, no biggie. Pretty cool. Gives internal and ambient temps, and estimated cook time:

Also, the all important resting time:

Roast came out good. Next test is on the grill. Range is an issue, but that can be addressed with a second device, such as your tablet. Wifi required. The plus model allegedly has addressed this. Not a silver bullet, but useful to everyone from novice to pro.

I've thought about these wireless temp probes but I've heard bad things about em.
And the price is pretty steep.

I use a wireless thermometer I've had it for thirty years. You stick it in the meat and read the temperature on a scale....Same with my candy thermometer that is wireless....

The temp probe is wired on yours.

Interesting. How does the temperature probe transmit to the receiver? I was unaware this technology was available 35 years ago.

I waited til black Friday, paid 59 bucks.

I've still read they're inaccurate.
I dont mind paying top dollar for temp gages.
I've spent well over 600 bucks for my ThermoWorks

I bought it out of boredom lol.
And my old thermometers probe wire got gnawed up from getting pinched in the grill lid. Check Meater or Yummly. Pretty cool tech.
