We were very lucky to be sent out the Meater smart probe to road test. On arrival, I was greeted with a lovely box holding the probe, which also doubles up as its charging point ( with one AA battery included)  and is very appropriately magnetic for sticking on the fridge. 

Now down to the nitty-gritty operation of downloading the app and pairing with the Meater which took less than a minute and was as complicated as tying a shoe.  

So I stuck my Meater into a nice slab of beef ribeye and after following the guidance on the app and browning on each side I put it in the oven, letting go of my own ingenuity whilst nervously handing all my trust to the app. 

The Meater has 2 temperature sensors that measure the core of the meat and the ambient temperature of the oven which then cleverly calculates the cooking time.

After reluctantly moving to the comfort of my living room I was abruptly notified by the app that the cook was nearly complete with another jingle a few minutes later informing me to remove my steak from the oven and allow to rest,  I was then proudly informed that my steak was ready to be enjoyed.

I must say that my ribeye was cooked bang on the money

I’ve since had a go with cooking a full roasting joint, roast chicken and pork belly and each time the Meater has hit its mark to perfection

At  £99 it could be out of financial purpose but for the nervous cook who has put off cooking roasts due to worries of getting things right then, this is the best kitchen aid there is.

Highly recommend.
