Worked great! Pulled pork success!
5 Stars
Worked great! Pulled pork success!
My first cook with the MEATER plus was a success as judged by the positive feedback from my family. I chose a pulled pork recipe from the MEATER app and bought a pork shoulder from the nearby grocery store. It was easy to set up the thermometer for use in the app on iOS and I selected the recipe from the available “cooks”. The MEATER app walked me through everything step by step, including ingredients and short videos. I had watched it before to make sure I had the ingredients. I fired up the smoker to preheat it, put on the rub with spices at the directed time (though I used a Traeger rub instead of making my own) and then put the MEATER plus into the pork shoulder as instructed. The app started measuring the temperature inside the meat as well as the ambient temperature and reporting it to me. Once it got some data it started estimating the time to cook completion and the visual milestones were really helpful showing target temperature and current temperature. The Bluetooth connection worked well and I also set up the MEATER cloud link by having a second device with the MEATER app running with my login. This enabled me to leave the house and run errands while still monitoring the cook and this feature worked great. It was all done around eight hours after I started and using MEATER took a lot of the guesswork out of it for me. As someone new to smoking meats I really found this product to be useful. My Traeger doesn’t have the WiFi built in and by adding this MEATER plus thermometer into my arsenal it kind of put me on par with the pricier Traeger models with WiFi except I have to manually adjust the temp. Time will tell as to how durable the thermometer is but at this point I’d give it a thumbs up. It did read differently from the Traeger wired probe in the meat with the MEATER measuring about 10 degrees less. But the pulled pork still turned out great so that’s something I’ll have to figure out in terms of accuracy.

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024
I've had my MEATER Plus for about 9 months now and have used it more than 20 times with an outdoor propane grill. I highly recommend it - as long as you keep these tips in mind:

1. Make sure you understand that there are two different wireless connections going on in normal operation: one between your phone and the base and one between the base and the probe. You can see this arrangement and the current status of each of the connections by going into the upper right menu of the main display of the app and choosing "Connection Details". Sometimes, the phone will connect direct to the probe skipping the base station and resulting in a weaker connection. You can see if that happens on this screen. If it does, you can try removing and replacing the base's battery or killing and restarting the phone app.

2. There are two different batteries and battery levels involved. One in the base station (replaceable AAA) and one in the probe itself (non-replaceable rechargeable). Under Connection Details, the battery level reported there is for the probe. To see the battery level for the base station, tap on its icon to go to another screen which will show the base station's battery level.

3. The probe recharges its own battery when placed in the base station. This is accomplished by the two metal contacts that hold it in place. Over time, you might see a problem with the probe charging or its battery level being unexpectedly low. What was happening in my case is the connection between one of the base clips and the probe was not working well. After repeated cooks, grease had formed a coating on the top of the probe which was interfering with the corresponding electrical contact. You can take steel wool or very high grit sand paper and gently sand the surface until the coating is gone and the metal surface looks clean again.

Once you have that information under your belt and put it to use, it works like a champ!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024
I needed a wireless, accurate, temperature probe to help with the marathon brisket cooking event. Folks this process is not for the faint of heart. We are talking about 20 hours of cooking for a 11 pound brisket. Either way I needed something that would let me monitor from afar while the cooking went on outside.
You need to install and app on your phone to interface with the probe, or more specifically the probes base unit. The probe is a bit thick but inserts easily enough. The base unit, which has the ability to magnetically attach to something, gives you great range to connect to your phone.
The internal temperature reading appears to be accurate. I base this on the final product. Where I had an issue was with the ambient temperature reading. My goal is to cook the brisket at 225 degrees F. My temperature gauge on the grill shows 225. The ambient temperature at the probe was showing 155. Wow, that is quite a difference. So what to do.... If I take a leap of faith that the probe is correct I'll crank thing up until the probe reads 225. At that point the grill thermometer shows I'm over 300. I chose to split the difference which did increase cooking time but the result was good. Next time I think I'll follow the reading from the probe as that's where the meat is.
I need to try this again but I believe I would recommend but use your return window wisely to be sure everything is good.
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 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.

After a few times that the thermometer failed, it started working again. Fingers crossed that it keeps it up! Don't know what caused the random failure. Happy it's back in service.

I liked that it was accurate and had nice features. I don't like that it died (stopped connecting mid-cook) after only 2 years. It's not something we use daily or even weekly, could understand if it was. So if we get another one, (paying another $100 or maybe higher for a better model(?), we'll go in knowing we are paying $50+/year (basically) to cook food to an accurate temp.

Geen contact meer met de pen, heb gevraagd aan de verkoper Meater UK voor een oplossing maar krijg geen antwoord. Al hoewel er geschreven wordt dat ze binnen de 48 h antwoorden.

Regalato ai miei genitori per Natale, l'abbiamo testato subito con un arrosto di maiale, cotto alla perfezione.
L'oggetto è veramente minimale ma elegante, a differenza di altri termometri analogici, sembra una penna a sfera. La custodia di ricarica in legno è anch'essa elegante e leggera, trasferisce la carica al termometro tramite batteria di tipo AA (stilo), ovviamente cambiabile.
L'app consente un'abbinamento molto veloce tra smartphone e termometro (in realtà quello che viene abbinato è la custodia di ricarica), è anche abbastanza intuitiva nell'uso, magari leggermente migliorabile sotto questo punto di vista, ma nel complesso molto buona. In estrema sintesi: si inserisce il termometro nella pietanza che si vuole cucinare al forno, si seleziona la tipologia in app (carne, pesce etc), il taglio (per esempio filetto, costata etc) e si sceglie il tipo di cottura desiderata. Se il taglio o la tipologia non è presente nella lista, si seleziona manualmente la temperatura desiderata. Dopodichè si infila in forno e ce ne si dimentica: l'app monitora la temperatura attuale, la temperatura target e la temperatura del forno. Quando si sta per raggiungere la temperatura target, avvisa di spegnere e lasciare riposare il cibo, sempre con la sonda inserita. Noi abbiamo cucinato 2 kg di maiale, taglio coppa, con temperatura interna impostata manualmente a 85 gradi. Arrivati a 80 gradi, l'app ci ha consigliato di togliere la carne dal forno e lasciarla riposare 20 minuti (ovviamente l'app mostra il timer relativo), sempre con termometro inserito. Dopo 20 minuti la temperatura interna è infatti arrivata a 85, carne cotta alla perfezione, pronta per essere tagliata e gustata. Il prezzo sicuramente non è "popolare", ma oltre all'aspetto "tecnologico" il fatto di non dover aprire mai il forno durante la cottura come invece spesso deve avvenire con i termometri analogici (semplicemente per controllare la temperatura raggiunta) è sicuramente un vantaggio
