Leave a Review MEATER® Smart Meat Thermometer
I thought I was a good cook until….
After I obtained a METER + I realized how I could become even a better cook. I no longer had to guess or use skill to obtain correct internal temperatures of roasted meats or birds. I could set my probe for the correct temperature and that would be correct every single time. I have made prime New York strip sirloin‘s that came out exactly to medium rare, no guesswork. I made a tomahawk steak perfectly. I made rack of lamb that came out exactly the way I wanted it. I present my roasts, racks of lamb, briskets, everything exactly the way I wish them to turn out because of the meter. Stuart BorkenShow lessI read 4 U
Thank you developers!
The app experience is amazing! The only feedback that I have would be the option to adjust and continue a cook even after it is “Ready to Eat”. For example: I decided to cook my pork a little bit longer but the cook automatically ended since the original target temperature had already been met. Would it be possible to manually end/continue a cook?
Also, the option to swipe left and right between probes when in the temperature graph view would be helpful. This would make it much easier for me to switch back-and-forth between temperature graphs. Thank you again!Show lessD.H1000
Meat at its best (MEATER+)
I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of barbecue and smoking. This thing has been my right hand tool through the journey. They say the journey is the reward but that’s an understatement. A lot of the comments I’ve read say that it disconnects, it has not disconnected one time for me (20+ cooks). I do keep the probe clean and scrub it down after each use like the directions say. Other than that my only suggestion would be to keep the notes synced across devices. If I start a cook and add notes on my iPad, I cannot see or add to the same notes on my iPhone.Show lesschitownflyboy
Fantastic until it Came Apart
This is one of the greatest inventions for grilling since the invention of Bluetooth. It syncs to your phone effortlessly once you do the initial setup and it makes flawless steaks, etc (but steaks and other fast grilled meats are the thing you’ll see the most effect on imo) every time. However, this latest grilling session when I went to take the probe out of the meat, the black top came out of the metal base (definitely not supposed to happen). Meater, if you’re reading this, you need better epoxy or something on that connection. I hope I can send in for repair / replacement because I love this thing and would otherwise give it 5 Stars.Show lessPeter Donohue
Product is great, support is better
I’ve been using my MEATER for almost 2 years now and it has improved my grilling game by a good amount. The MEATER is easy to use and makes even a bonehead like me seem like an expert. But that’s not what I’m writing this review about.
I had some problems with my MEATER and let’s just say that it was probably my fault. I worked with Apption labs and after doing some debugging they sent me a brand new MEATER which is now working perfectly. I went from appreciation for the product to being a lifelong fan. If you’re thinking about getting this, just get it, you won’t regret it.Show lessbaimianbao
If you like something perfectly rare, this is way to avoid overshooting the Mark
AND it accurately factors in "resting time" to insure maximum moisture.
Otherwise "resting time" usually just turns the meat gray by the time you get around to cutting it.
And there is more!
If you sous-vide your meat the night before, you have to refrigerate it until the next day in the bag. How to get the center of that meat back the following day from fridge-temp to yesterdays rare-temp risks - once again -turning to meat bland and "medium"or worse!!!
Using the MEATER inside the sous-vided meat, outside the bag inside a pan in the oven, allows you to get it back just to the right temperature to proceed outside the oven, with the blowtorch and still have it rare!
Thanks for the awesome technology. Closest thing to Artificial Intelligence that I have - so far - found useful.Show lessredfox210
Worked for awhile
We really enjoyed our Meater Block for the 6 months that we were able to use it. If it kept working I would give it 4-5 stars. I’d sure they will keep improving on it, but ours will no longer connect. I tried to find a number to call, none available. Went through 15 steps to get to fill out a support form that hasn’t been returned. Could be a great company/product, not there yet though. (Update) Meater replaced my unit and it is working like a charm now.
Update: We got our Meater Block back after a few weeks, thought it was fixed. It worked one time and then stopped working again.
Wanted it to work so bad, first block worked for 10 or so steaks, next one only lasted for 1. Back to the old fashioned way.Show lessBrockBBQ
Believe the Hype!
This thing is legit! Bought it for a steal on Black Friday 2021 and used it for the first time to cook a Christmas dinner. Perfectly cooked our Christmas Turkey in my mother’s old gas oven, that doesn’t accurately maintain temp. or have a great window to see the bird. Worth the money, especially if you don’t want to have to however around a meal all day. This thing allowed me to go about my day and even notified me when the meal was almost ready. Even gave me an estimated cook time. Best kitchen item I have EVER purchased. I cannot wait to use it when I smoke meats in my propane smoker!Show lessB.Merry
Disappointed
Ambient temperature is always wrong. From 20 to 200 degrees off on every cook. Constantly looses connection despite the block being right next to the grill. The cloud is a joke and won’t keep other devices updated unless the app is always open and screen is on. Tech support is a joke. They make excuses for all of these shortcomings. So probe does not work as advertised. They charge a rerun fee of 25%, so you can’t even try the item to see if you like it. Also the app has no ability to turn off marketing adds while leaving the other notifications on. All around poor product and poor app.Show lessjsnehhrbrj
Works fine with Iphone app
Works fine with IPad app. Not so with Apple Watch. Asks to connect via cloud with phone. And though it is, watch app doesn’t mirror phone like it should. And the “probe” not connecting message to me means probe connected fine with phone but watch app decides it isn’t so. Looked at reviews to see if anybody was praising the watch app. Haven’t found one positive yet. But read responses that did not apply to the solution which is app needs more work. Not reaching out for support. As can wait and see if watch app ever works as it should. Not wasting my time troubleshooting.Show lessPennybink
