Although I do have an Instant Read probe that I still use to verify doneness of proteins, the Meater Plus is so much easier to use and you don't have to constantly check the food so it doesn't get over or undercooked. I am an experienced cook, but as you know foods can look done on the outside, but you can't see how well done they are on the inside. This Meater Plus is the perfect solution for perfectly cooked proteins and other foods.
So what do I love about the Meater Plus?
1 - It works using an app that can be downloaded for either phones or tablets using Android or IOS operating systems.
2 - It easily connects using Bluetooth and the Meater cloud through your router.
3 - In the app settings, you can set your preferences for the various alarms.
4 - When a done temperature preference is set in the app for a cook, the app will let you know when the food is done, and allow for a resting period when the temperature will increase. So, for example, if you want a medium rare steak and set the temperature for 130 degrees, the app will tell you the steak is done at 125 degrees and allow for a 5 minute resting period that the temperature will increase to 130 degrees. This means perfectly done proteins every time.
5 - You can choose a preset in the app, and then modify it to your preference.
6 - This probe works well to monitor food inside any oven and even in cookers like the Ninja Speedi, Ninja grills, and pressure cookers.
7 - Cooking progress can be monitored wherever you can take your phone or tablet in the house. You don't have to stay in the kitchen.
8- Works with rotisseries where wired probes aren't practical.
9 - Can be connected to Alexa for notifications.
10 - The base unit is powered by an "A" battery, and pressing a button lets you know if the battery is still good. The probe is charged in the base unit.
11 - The base unit is magnetized so it can be stored on the side of any metal appliance. This means not having to find it in a cabinet or drawer. I have two of these, and keep them on the side of my Anova oven so they are always handy.
I have used this Meater Plus in my ovens, the Ninja Speedi, and in my pressure cookers with great results. I have the app on my phone, and can take my phone in the family room while I watch TV and still monitor the progress of my food cooking. I also like the display of the ambient temperature. This tells you whether your oven is actually getting to the temperature you set it to. In my experience, many ovens never reach the temperature you set, so trying to estimate when your food will be cooked is all guesswork. The Meater Plus takes the guesswork out of cooking. Once you set a done temperature, the app estimates when your food will be fully cooked. This make is so much easier to make sure all of the other components of your meal will be done and hot at the same time. No matter how experienced you are in cooking, there is always a certain amount of guesswork in knowing when foods are cooked to the preferred doneness. The Meater Plus eliminates some of the guesswork. I should also mention that the range of the Meater Plus is greater if you remove the probe from the holder before opening the app. This was mentioned by one other reviewer.
I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update this review if my opinion changes or I find more ways to use it.

The probe and the charging station looks great in the kitchen, it has a magnet so you can have it in different places (grill, cabinet, fridge) , the battery last long, the meat internal temperature as you program the probe works pretty good
1. Make sure you understand that there are two different wireless connections going on in normal operation: one between your phone and the base and one between the base and the probe. You can see this arrangement and the current status of each of the connections by going into the upper right menu of the main display of the app and choosing "Connection Details". Sometimes, the phone will connect direct to the probe skipping the base station and resulting in a weaker connection. You can see if that happens on this screen. If it does, you can try removing and replacing the base's battery or killing and restarting the phone app.
2. There are two different batteries and battery levels involved. One in the base station (replaceable AAA) and one in the probe itself (non-replaceable rechargeable). Under Connection Details, the battery level reported there is for the probe. To see the battery level for the base station, tap on its icon to go to another screen which will show the base station's battery level.
3. The probe recharges its own battery when placed in the base station. This is accomplished by the two metal contacts that hold it in place. Over time, you might see a problem with the probe charging or its battery level being unexpectedly low. What was happening in my case is the connection between one of the base clips and the probe was not working well. After repeated cooks, grease had formed a coating on the top of the probe which was interfering with the corresponding electrical contact. You can take steel wool or very high grit sand paper and gently sand the surface until the coating is gone and the metal surface looks clean again.
Once you have that information under your belt and put it to use, it works like a champ!

L'oggetto è veramente minimale ma elegante, a differenza di altri termometri analogici, sembra una penna a sfera. La custodia di ricarica in legno è anch'essa elegante e leggera, trasferisce la carica al termometro tramite batteria di tipo AA (stilo), ovviamente cambiabile.
L'app consente un'abbinamento molto veloce tra smartphone e termometro (in realtà quello che viene abbinato è la custodia di ricarica), è anche abbastanza intuitiva nell'uso, magari leggermente migliorabile sotto questo punto di vista, ma nel complesso molto buona. In estrema sintesi: si inserisce il termometro nella pietanza che si vuole cucinare al forno, si seleziona la tipologia in app (carne, pesce etc), il taglio (per esempio filetto, costata etc) e si sceglie il tipo di cottura desiderata. Se il taglio o la tipologia non è presente nella lista, si seleziona manualmente la temperatura desiderata. Dopodichè si infila in forno e ce ne si dimentica: l'app monitora la temperatura attuale, la temperatura target e la temperatura del forno. Quando si sta per raggiungere la temperatura target, avvisa di spegnere e lasciare riposare il cibo, sempre con la sonda inserita. Noi abbiamo cucinato 2 kg di maiale, taglio coppa, con temperatura interna impostata manualmente a 85 gradi. Arrivati a 80 gradi, l'app ci ha consigliato di togliere la carne dal forno e lasciarla riposare 20 minuti (ovviamente l'app mostra il timer relativo), sempre con termometro inserito. Dopo 20 minuti la temperatura interna è infatti arrivata a 85, carne cotta alla perfezione, pronta per essere tagliata e gustata. Il prezzo sicuramente non è "popolare", ma oltre all'aspetto "tecnologico" il fatto di non dover aprire mai il forno durante la cottura come invece spesso deve avvenire con i termometri analogici (semplicemente per controllare la temperatura raggiunta) è sicuramente un vantaggio
