MEATER Plus with Bluetooth Repeater by MEATER I don’t cook meat without my MEATER thermometer. The ease of use and accuracy make it a godsend in the kitchen, especially for someone as culinarily challenged as I am. The only complaint I could ever levy at the feet of the MEATER is that I need to keep my cell phone close to the oven throughout the cook to maintain a connection. With the MEATER Plus, this one and only gripe has been addressed, and I can now browse social media while streaming video in my living room while monitoring my meat. The “Plus” in MEATER Plus refers to the addition of a Bluetooth repeater in the charger which relays the signal from the probe inside your oven or barbeque to the smartphone in your hand or pocket. It’s a boon for every meal, but especially great for the barbeque and outdoor cooking. It should work with all types of ‘cues, from gas grills to smokers, green eggs to rotisseries. Roam while you roast, I say. This extended range adds to the already solid list of MEATER features. The MEATER experience is a simple one, and even the simplicity of the equipment itself belies the top-notch design and execution. The whole product is a sleek bamboo charging base with a magnetic battery cover, plus the single-piece metal probe. The probe itself has one sensor to measure the internal temperature of the meat, plus another sensor on the end to measure the ambient temperature, which it uses to estimate your cook time. Of course, just having an easy-to-use thermometer wouldn’t have me pulling this out for every meal. What sets the MEATER and the MEATER Plus apart is the smartphone app experience. It’s fast, easy to use, informative, and takes all the guesswork out of cooking. Before the meat goes in the oven, select the type of meat and the cut, and your desired target (rare, medium, well done, etc). It’s literally 3 fast clicks, no web pages, or screen loading to figure out what’s what. Once you’re cooking, all of the relevant cooking information is displayed on a single screen in easy-to-understand colors and graphics. Target temperature, current temperature, ambient temperature, and an estimated cook time give you what you want to know at a glance. The MEATER and MEATER Plus app even account for the continued at rest cooking that meats experience after removing them from direct heat, and will consider this and the resting period as it directs you through the cooking process. The result is a perfectly cooked piece of meat every time. It will result in juicy chicken, pork that doesn’t feel dry, and beef that will make you want to take a picture of the cross-section. If you or your man plan on spending some time at the grill this summer, don’t go it alone. Get the MEATER Plus to eliminate grill anxiety and guarantee the perfect cook every time.
