Weber Connect grills and devices can track your grill's temperature and alert you when it drops below your target temp due to a flameout or spikes because of a flareup. With the Weber Connect app you can follow its temperature and get alerts for important events. Even more important is the temperature of your food! A few degrees are all that stand between perfect and overdone. Weber Connect grills and devices let you track your food's internal temperature precisely with connected food probes and transmit them to your app. Watch the temp rise on the graph so you know when it's almost time to head back outside to take the steaks off, or set a target temp and get alerted when it's done no matter where you are.

Improve your home bread baking by ensuring that the temperature of your dough is in the perfect range when you are done mixing it. Professional bakers have a Desired Dough Temperature that they target by adjusting the temperature of the water they use. This simple app let's you do the same at home. The temperature of your kitchen, your flour, and your sourdough starter may be different today than they were the last time you baked. This app makes it easy for you to calculate the temperature of the water you should use so that your finished dough is the same temperature every time - no matter how cold or hot your kitchen and ingredients are. As you enter the temperatures of the elements you can't control, you'll update the computed value of the water temperature. This app allows you to work in Celsius or Fahrenheit and to adjust the friction factor to tune the formula to the methods you use. You can now save your mixes so that you can return to bake familiar recipes without entering everything from scratch. It's a simple app that does just one thing - but that one thing will help you take your bread baking to a new level.
