# MEATER+ Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer Review *By James Hills — Updated May 2020* Ever since I was a young man, friends and relatives have tried to teach me various methods to measure how "done" a steak is. Technology now has surpassed lore and any man who loves cooking a great steak needs to have this MEATER+ wireless smart meat thermometer in his tool chest. When I first got the pitch and was asked if I wanted to try the Meater+ for review I wasn't expecting much. I assumed that it would be just another cooking tool that was less practical than it seemed on the website. I was wrong and both my wife and I are thrilled with the result when I tested it out for this review a few days ago.  ## Elegant Industrial Design The first thing you notice when opening the package is that [Meater+](https://meater.com/) is simply elegant in design. It comes in a beautiful wooden case and the probe looks more like a high-end stylus for your tablet than something to be used on the grill. Even the packaging it comes in feels more like an iPhone accessory instead of a cooking tool. However, industrial design means nothing if the software isn't up to par. ### Six Things I Learned at the BMW Performance Center A visit to the BMW Performance Center in Thermal ( Palm Springs ), California is a great way to hone driving skills and improve your driving ability.

There are two basic versions here, the first is MEATER - which connects via Bluetooth directly to your phone or tablet with a 10m range for ovens and 3-meter range for BBQ grills and smokers. The second is [MEATER+](https://meater.com/)that I have, which has the wooden charging station also function as a signal repeater. This offers up to a 50-meter range so you could be virtually anywhere in the yard and still get your alerts when things are ready to take off the fire. There is even a way to extend this range indefinitely by connecting it to your home WiFi network and monitoring it from other devices including Amazon Alexa. ## Man Gear Pick of the Month September's Pick Amazon (affiliate) ### Kenyon City Grill Portable Stainless Steel Electric Grill Why we picked it: a grill you can actually carry to the campsite, the tailgate or the cabin without borrowing a truck. Stainless, no propane tank to wrestle, and hot enough to cook for four guys rather than reheat for one.

So by adding the temperature probe to the meat before grilling, I could watch it rise from 30ish to 65 F. Similarly, you'll notice that the MEATER+ thermometer si actually measuring both the temperature inside the meat ... but also the ambient temperature. I like this a lot since when I put it in the oven I know exactly what the temperature is outside the meat as well as in the middle. For the meat nerds out there, MEATER+ also supports the MEATER Cloud service where you can view the temperature curves and other features that I can't wait to explore. The thing that I'm most in love with here is that it isn't just allowing me to cook a perfect steak ... but it is actually helping me better understand the science behind it since it is no longer a "guess" as to if your steak is done. While I've only tested it out by preparing a strip steak, MEATER+ also supports a wide range of other proteins and cuts ranging from Lamb to Chicken and even good old classic burgers.   ## What If You Want Different Temperatures Per Steak? Ok so that was the only disappointment and it is no fault of [MEATER+](https://meater.com/). I was so excited to test how perfect my medium rare steak was (spoiler alert! It was PERFECT!) but my wife wanted hers medium. I took mine off at exactly the right time but hers was undercooked since I estimated how much it would continue cooking after taking mine out of the oven. Don't worry though, MEATER offers three different SKUs that you can buy on Amazon - [MEATER](https://amzn.to/2ZiVfYv) ($69) (no repeater), [MEATER+](https://amzn.to/2ZgkXwU) ($99), and [MEATER Block](https://amzn.to/2Zj8bho) ($269) that features four different probes and built-in wifi as well as Bluetooth.  For more information about my new MUST HAVE grilling tool, make sure to [visit MEATER's website](https://meater.com/).
