Never overcook your BBQ meat again

With BBQ season right around the corner, many of us are eager to fire up the grill, pull out the smoker or plan for a seasonal gathering with family and friends.

Central to the grilling experience, says Joseph Cruz of Apption Labs, sourcing the perfect piece of meat to indulge in can be both time consuming and costly. You plan, research and source recipes, sparing no expense on prime cuts and gourmet grocers for the best in BBQ, over-the-top roasts and the superior result of the low and slow.

Despite how much we prepare for the meal, hosting a party can often mean multitasking at its best. We get busy hosting our guests, making sure glasses are full, appetizers are enjoyed and conversations are flowing. With all these distractions it’s easy to slip up and accidentally overcook your meat.

Almost any party host can agree, there is most certainly nothing worse than ending up with an overcooked steak or dry roast. Not to mention, cooking meat to perfection can be a daunting task, with lots of room for error or uncertainty about the perfect temperature or resting period based on guest preference and the type of meat you’re cooking.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect reverse sear to rival the sous vide method or replicate (and rival) your favourite steakhouse dish, MEATER is designed to yield the best results, ensuring the perfect cook, every time. With remote monitoring over Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, or Cloud technology, MEATER sends alerts directly to your smartphone or device, while also taking carry over cooking into consideration.

And what’s more, no more wasting time or interfering with your cook by unnecessarily opening the oven. MEATER’s guided cook system estimates how long to cook and rest your food while taking carry over cooking into consideration.

MEATER is the world’s first truly wireless, smart leave-in meat thermometer. A standalone device in the industry, MEATER is the only meat thermometer on the market that stays inserted throughout the cook, with absolutely no wires, and allows for use in an oven, on a grill or in a rotisserie – imagine the possibilities.

To do this, MEATER uses patented technology that measures both internal meat and external ambient temperatures in the oven or grill, providing estimated cook times and alerts to your smartphone, giving you the freedom to step away from your oven or grill to enjoy the party you’re hosting or simply relax.

Its sleek design makes for an attractive feature to any kitchen or outdoor space, while its compact casing makes MEATER easy to store. To use, simply insert the MEATER probe into the meat, pair with the app, set up the cook preference and wait for a notification when it is time to remove from the heat. MEATER uses Seamless connectivity to ensure that users can walk away from their cook and not miss a single alert.
