The article discusses the author's experience with the Meater Pro XL smart thermometer, praising its precision in monitoring cooking temperatures without needing to open the oven or grill. Initially impressed by the Original Meater's Bluetooth connectivity, the author highlights the frustrations with signal drops, especially in older homes. While earlier models were improvements, the persistent Bluetooth issues remained a drawback until the introduction of a Wi-Fi option, which unfortunately requires two devices. The article ultimately showcases the Meater Pro XL as a reliable choice for precision cooking enthusiasts.
Currently, my go-to precision thermometer is the Meater Pro XL, the latest release from an early player in the smart thermometer game.
The Meater app not only displayed the real-time internal temperature of whatever I was cooking, but it also monitored the oven or grill's ambient temperature.
In the years since, I've tried other Meater devices, and while each one was an improvement on earlier models, the finicky Bluetooth situation remained.
There's now a Wi-Fi workaround for this but it requires using two mobile devices.
