Alternatives to the MEATER Pro (formerly MEATER 2 Plus) Wireless Meat Thermometer

Products ranked near it in our research, each better for a slightly different buyer.

Buying advice: meat thermometers

  1. Instant-read suits steaks, chicken and spot checks. Leave-in probes suit roasts and smoking. Wireless probes suit grilling while you're away from the cooker.
  2. Good instant-read thermometers settle in about 1 to 3 seconds. Slower models need longer in the meat.
  3. Look for accuracy within about ±1°F. Test in ice water (32°F) and recalibrate if your model allows.
  4. A thin probe tip leaves smaller holes. A backlit, auto-rotating display helps at night and for left-handed cooks.
  5. Bluetooth range drops through walls and grill lids. Wi-Fi models avoid range limits but need setup.

Where can I buy the MEATER Pro (formerly MEATER 2 Plus) Wireless Meat Thermometer?

Should I use a leave-in probe or an instant-read for a roast in the oven?

A leave-in wireless probe like the MEATER Plus is better for roasts and whole poultry, since it tracks internal temperature continuously without opening the oven door, which drops oven temperature every time it's opened. An instant-read like the ThermoPro TP19 works too, but requires opening the oven and losing heat each time you check.

Is the MEATER Plus safe to leave in the oven the whole time?

Yes, its ambient sensor is rated to 527°F, well above any home oven's typical range, and the probe itself is designed to sit inside the meat while the ambient sensor reads the surrounding oven air. It communicates wirelessly, so there's no cable running out of the oven door that could get pinched or melt against the door seal.
