Broken Notifications and support is lacking
I reached out to support because there is a badge on the app, but nothing in the app to respond to. They told me to disable notifications.
Feedback
This is an amazing product. The only problem that I have is, is that whenever you get done completing a cooking or if you get some sort of notification you end up getting a whole bunch of notifications still left on your phone and will have the amount notifications left on the app icon. It doesn’t delete the notifications. It’s just a software defect I guess but other than that it’s amazing.

Battery life
The battery does not last long enough for extended cooking. I use for a prime rib and low battery warning came on after 1 hour.
Today tried
To cook a brisket and the probe only lasted a couple hours., and this was with two replacement probes sent by the manufacturer.

CHEF iQ probes
They do not connect very well, and you have to usually disconnect the app and then reconnect the app. I would not recommend.
Where’s the Picanha
There needs to be a choice for a Picanha/ sirloin cap
Accurate and Easy
Wow!! Very happy with this product.
I researched a few different brands with no satisfaction. This one was recommended by a friend. I brought it home from Costco and tried it out in my smoker immediately.
Works great!
No annoying wires.
Good battery life.
Nifty case.
Great app!

Living it so far.
I have had the mini oven for almost 2 months now and love using it. I would love to be able to preheat for air frying and a turn over/shake reminder as well. Thank you.
App not intuitive at all
I have been trying for over a half hour to figure out how to get to manual cooking mode. I searched on Google. I asked ChatGPT and none of the instructions I have been provided have worked. I’m about ready to return this because the only reason I bought it was to use use it for manual cooking. I don’t care about all of the recipes on this app.

Battery issue
Only using these for the second time and it seems that the battery will not take a charge
Weight
I wish I could exactly input the weight. The cap on weight limits its ability to be precise.
Always saying need to charge when I charge it for 1 hr .
Disappointed I charged in 20 minutes, always saying needs to charge again disappointed
Great when it works
Probes connect in and out while using making it difficult to do longer cooks. Some cooks are great and other times I can’t get a reading part way through and then it can be intermittent. Overall easy to set up, just not reliable.
The best
Works like a champ accurate every time
Finally, a Kitchen Gadget Even I Can Use
The Chef iQ thermometer is so easy to use that, honestly, a dummy could figure it out—and I say that as someone who has definitely made some questionable decisions in the kitchen.
I absolutely love the recipe ideas. They’re thoughtful, creative, and, most importantly, actually make you want to cook. The recipes have encouraged me to branch out and try things I normally wouldn’t, including some top-end steak cuts that I probably would have been too nervous to mess up.
But the real MVP moment came at Thanksgiving. We somehow thought we had an extra hour (or more) to cook the turkey. Big surprise… the turkey was always a little dry. Chef iQ completely changed that. Having the thermometer tell me exactly where the meat is and when it’s ready took the guesswork out of cooking—and may have legitimately saved Thanksgiving.
It’s easy to use, the recipes are mouth-watering, and it gives you the confidence to try new things without worrying that you’re going to ruin an expensive piece of meat.
Highly recommend. Even if you’re a dummy in the kitchen.

Great
Wish it just didn’t disconnect so easily
Perfect cook
IQ probes are awesome, takes the guess work out of a perfect cook every time!
Great app with one big suggestion
Is a very good app and works very well with their hardware. One suggestion for the app, though, is it really needs a widget. Especially a lock screen widget. That would make it so much easier to keep track of probe temperature, etc.
Awesome System
This system works flawlessly. It connects fast and stays connected. Notifications keep you updated on the cooking process of when to flip and then remove to rest and more.
This system has been well worth the extra cost over another system that I returned that had connection issues.
I’m glad that I bought this.

I actually cook well now
Before the probes, cooking on the grill was a struggle. I have to be honest, these probes are one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Chicken and burgers come out perfect. Absolutely love this purchase.
Use to work great
It is a great product. However something in the phone app continually crashes to the point it doesn’t even open now. I own several products and I love them. The app opens on my computers just not my phone. I don’t get it. Tried to unload it and reloading. No luck. Hope it gets fixed soon.
