Meater is the first truly wireless smart meat thermometer. Along with the Meater app, it will help you cook the juiciest steak, chicken, turkey, fish or other meats perfectly every time for every occasion.
We know that not everyone is a master chef, so we designed Meater to allow anyone with any skill level to operate and cook any cut of meat to master chef perfection.
It doesn’t matter how experienced a chef you are or if you’ve cooked the same steak 100 times before, as it often happens while cooking meat, you can’t help yourself attending to your friends and family first, then watching your cooking second. Usually, by the time you remember to check on your food, it is already too late.
With Meater, when your food has reached the correct internal temperature, you will receive a notification on your smartphone. You can finally break free from the kitchen or grill and have confidence Meater will tell you when your food is ready.
The cost of Meater and 2 store bought steaks is less than the cost of one visit to a high end steak house. Once you own Meater, you can get repeatable, restaurant quality results at home and at a fraction of the cost.
Meater Block will enable Meater Link and Meater Cloud to connect your Meaters to your WiFi network. This allows you to monitor your meat anywhere your smartphone has access to the Internet. Meater Block is the perfect cooking accessory for:
Homes that need extended wireless range
Operate Meaters without the use of your smartphone
Cook everyone’s steak the way they like it
Step 1: Turn on Meater and open the Meater app.
Step 2: Select your target cook and place the Meater probe in the meat.
Step 3: Place food in the oven or grill and let Meater monitor the food for you.
Ready: When your meat has reached the target temperature, the Meater app will send you a notification, sound an alarm, and even vibrate.
Problem 1: Forgetting to check your food because you are busy doing other things.
Solution: The Meater app will notify you to get your attention. It’ll vibrate, sound an alarm, and even send a notification to your friend to make sure your food is taken care of.
Problem 2: Wires are a huge hassle:
They can break easily by getting them wet, pinched, or pulled
You cannot close the grill on them or they will burn
They can get tangled
It doesn’t allow you to do a Rotisserie or Sous Vide cooking method
Inconvenient to clean and store
Solution: Remove the wires! Meater is the very first completely wire-free meat thermometer. All the electronics are inside the Meater probe, eliminating the need for any wires.
Problem 3: You don’t know how long it takes to cook your meat which makes it difficult to plan your side dishes or do other tasks.
Solutions: Using the Meater Dual Sensor System, the Meater app will tell you the estimated time your food will be ready so you can manage your time better.
Problem 4: You don’t know how high the internal temperature of your meat will increase while resting. This could lead to over cooking your food.
Solution: Using the Meater Dual Sensor System, it can accurately estimate the resting temperature of your food and notify you when to take it off the grill or oven. This way, the internal heat can rise to the correct target temperature and deliver the perfect cook.
Problem 5: Inaccuracy of analog meat thermometers can lead to under and over cooked foods.
Solution: Meater temperature sensors can provide +/- 1°F (+/- 0.5°C) of accuracy. Essential for achieving exact and repeatable cooking results.
Chicken
Moist chicken, yum!
Beef
Super juicy steak, double yum!
Pork
Keep the other white meat moist!
Melt in your mouth beef tenderloin roasts cooked to perfection.
You can also use the Meater with Lamb, Fish, Roasts, Burgers, Hotdogs and use multiple Meaters when cooking a large meal.
Safety
When the Meater probe is inserted into the food, the meat acts as a heat insulator protecting the Meater electronics from extreme heat. We’ve miniaturized the Meater components, specified them to withstand the highest internal meat temperature and provide a warning to the user should Meater begin to approach its limits.
Wireless
Move your food freely without getting tangled with wires
Finally close your grill or smoker without worrying about wires
Easier to clean and store
Go where no other wired thermometer has gone before: Rotisserie and Sous Vide cooking method
