ThermoPro TempSpike 500 ft Wireless Meat Thermometer Digital, Bluetooth Meat Thermometer for Beef Lamb Chicken Turkey, Smoker Acccessories for Rotisserie Sous Vide BBQ Oven Air Fryer

my first try at a wi-fi probe
It was a bit expensive I thought and the old metal probe I have had for years still works so I read all the reviews and finally decided what the heckThis is Amazon who has been top notch for taking care of me and if I didn’t like it– Kaboom back to my old stick it in the meat thermometer that is nearly a collector’s item now.It took a little time for this old man to get it setup on my phone (easy but all this new tech you know)MY trial run — cooked a meat loaf and what a hoot, a total new fun addition to the joy of cooking.I was able to set a temp alert at 150 and watch it climb while I did other things. No opening the oven door or running back to the kitchen– At 150 which was one hour that usually I watch the clock for and was impressed. I started at 350 and when it hit my goal of 150 I increased the temp to 400F for 10 min and finished at 160F internal tempIt gives you the freedom of getting out of the kitchen and do other things. I keep the cellphone with me but should I set it down, the external alarm would go off and it’s loud thanks goodnessIts is wonderful not to be chained to the stove and know exactly how your meal is progressingI am very glad I brought my cooking into the modern age– It’s wonderful and I deserve such a delightful tool. It is new so how its weathers time I can not comment on. I will be cooking homemade bread this weekend and excited to see the inside story happing with an alarm to remind me to take the bread out just incase.

So bummed 🙁
Update: I was over the moon with this right out the gate. However, after about 3 uses the probe no longer connects with the app. I have tried everything that was listed on the ThermoPro website for problem solving, and called the ThermoPro helpline. I tried to contact them through their online forum, but it appears to be broken. I am at a loss and out $70.Original Review: I was honestly thinking that this was going to be too good to be true. It arrived yesterday and I let it charge overnight. Today I set it up, which couldn’t have been easier. The directions have a QR code you scan that takes you right to the APP store. Once downloaded the probe paired with the APP immediately and I was off to the races. You insert the probe into your meat up to the indicated line, and then select a meat type from the menu, which sets the target finish temp. You should note that these appear to be USDA recommended temperatures, and not what our OXO thermometer refers to as “Chef Temperatures.” We prefer more rare meat, so you also have the option of adding your own profiles with your own finish temperatures, which fixes this problem. The probe was spot on temperature wise (we double checked with an instant read thermometer). The coolest feature was the ambient temperature reading. It helped us better understand how warm our smoker actually was, as the temperature gauge on our smoker isn’t very accurate. I also really appreciate how easy it was to clean, and that I didn’t have to worry about getting any part of it wet. We were pleased to find that the booster makes noise, as well as your phone, when the meat reaches temperature. We are often going in and out while grilling, and it’s nice to have double insurance that we hear the alarm when things are ready to be removed from the grill. The only thing I wasn’t thrilled with was the estimated finish temp. It doesn’t seem very accurate. Granted, we have only used this once, but we were only cooking simple chicken breast, and without opening the grill the estimated finish time jumped all over the place. By no means a deal breaker, but I just wouldn’t count on it. Overall, we were super impressed with this and I can’t wait to cook with it again. I would highly recommend!

Il termometro è molto pratico nell’uso e molto preciso.L’app è funzionale e molto utile la funzione di previsione dei tempi di cottura.La portata è notevole e copre perfettamente almeno i 50 metri, con un muro in mezzo, a cui l’ho provato.Una nota particolare va per il servizio di assistenza che è stato strepitoso !!

Impossible d’oublier et de passer outre le temps juste de cuisson. La connexion longue distance et la simplicité d’utilisation, permet à tous de réussir la cuisson parfaite. La supervision de la température ambiante alerte aussi sur un feu (graisse qui brûle) en cours lorsque vous n’êtes pas à côtés du BBQ. Permet du coup aussi de vérifier la bonne température du four.
