Great Idea but connectivity issues
Love the idea of this but every time I try to cook with it that battery is drained and the probes are drained. I then get them charged and start cooking and then the connection is lost even though it is 10ft away from my router. I’m always struggling with it.
Great App
Great easy App spot on for cooking
Probe issues
One of my probes keep disconnecting, even when it’s fully charged, and the station is outside setting on the pellet box of my smoker.
Alert sound
Good evening
Trying to figure out ifi can change the alert sound on my app, it is very poor and doesn’t alert me so I know the food is done?

Knowing the temperature is 90 percent or of the cook
Great cooking tool.
You should always know the internal temperature of the meat.

Garbage
Overpriced garbage
Probes won’t hold charge
I have had 2 Chef IQ probes for 2+ years now. When they are fully charged, they seem to work decently, however, my two probes do not hold a charge now and for a 30 min cook in my oven or a longer cook in my smoker, the probes immediately lose battery strength and die within 20-30 mins, even though they show fully charged.
I called customer service and they sent me one new charger (not 2), but I was told that was all they would do to help me and my best option was to buy new probes if mine continued to not work properly.

All app no cook
It’s all about the app and the background recipes and preset cooking and updates and this thing that wanted me to rate it on a star scale. If you’re a serious griller/smoker this is not the tool for you. If you want something that tells you the temp of your meat ant the temp of your oven/smoker/grill without bells and chimes and insistence on dealing with it, look elsewhere.

Battery sucks
This thing won’t even hold a charge from one week into the next weekend. I have to charge it every time before I use it. What a disappointment
Quit doing things for me
Good probe although the calibration is suspect between the two.
STOP ENDING MY COOK. When I hit temp that’s great, but do not automatically end my cook when you think I’m done. I’m still watching cooldown temps and your stupid app ends and then won’t show me any data. Stupid.

Sucks Now
You prioritized the paywall and now this app sucks. The thermometer won’t even stay connected to the hub without putting it in the charger before every time you go to use it.
This app used to be useful, but now I just want a new product.

No guesswork
Takes all the questions about what temperature to cook to. Great device!!!
Bone less Chicken breast dinner
Using the probe was tricky at first but worked out fine our meal
Thanks again for the useful tool!

Quality is not so good and time remaining is wrong
I like the information I get BUT it cannot be over 4 hours remaining when it is only 10 degrees away from the goal. This needs some serious work and improvements! Also, my Probe 1 runs out our charge during one use while Probe 2 maintains charge well. So the quality is questionable
Works well!
No problem…no issue.
Update issues
Prove worked great before updates. Now it never connects back to my phone
Chef iq mini oven
The phone app does not work for my wife who’s visually impaired this is a gibbet. How can you make the probe work, but the mini oven does not work when Accessibility mode is on. I purchased this for my wife so she can be independent when cooking she enjoy cooking before she lost her vision please please please please 100! Update the app so my wife would be able to use it without any problems

Won’t work!
Can’t charge my unit. Light won’t come on.
Could be amazing
Regularly forgets WiFi and Bluetooth. Have to delete and re-add. Otherwise great product.
It’s not been good
I’ve had these for about three years and have kept trying to remain optimistic about them, but they’ve been pretty frustrating.
They always seem to be dead when I actually want to use them, and then when I put them back to charge, they often won’t shut off properly.
The biggest issue, though, is temperature accuracy. Compared side-by-side with a traditional wired probe, these are consistently and considerably off on temperature, which makes them hard to trust when cooking.
I’m glad to see they’ve updated the newer version. Hopefully they’ve addressed some of these issues, because the concept is great—the execution just hasn’t been reliable for me.
