A good thermometer is one of the most important tools you can have when grilling meat. After testing countless grills to find the best grills on the market, it became clear that the Meater Plus is one of the cooking essentials you shouldn't be without.
The Meater Plus is a Bluetooth-connected meat probe that you can leave inside the meat as it's cooking. It helps produce consistently good food and lets you choose the level of doneness for any given piece of meat using the Meater app. The app has a lot of presets that make cooking meats a breeze, including a neat feature that tells you when to take the meat off the heat and how long you should leave it to rest before carving. The app also allows for more than one probe to be connected, so you can keep an eye on various cuts as needed.
While the Meater Plus isn't currently on sale, the Meater Block is. The Block has four probes and a standalone screen for keeping an eye on your times and temps.
Though I can't say I use my Meater Plus every day, I do use it at least three times a week. I use it for work, to time how long it takes meat to cook in the grills I'm testing, and I use it to cook steaks and roast pork for my family. It's a fantastic tool to have in your cooking arsenal.
