Cook time badly flawed

Estimated cook time is badly flawed. Consistently seems to get stuck thinking it will be an hour until it’s done when the temperature is still rising at the same rate.

Good when connected

Works nice but constant connection issues, painful to connect over and over again

Kinda garbage

These things are nice when they work but constant disconnects requiring resets kill the experience. The automatic timers are wildly inaccurate. I’d shop elsewhere.

Garbage

they worked good for 5 cooking sessions before they all failed over a 2 month period.
But they were junk, I’d like to purchase more but I have NO TRUST IN THEIR PRODUCTS
