The ThermoPro TP910 wireless Bluetooth thermometer boasts the most stable connection possible between your kitchen thermometer and smartphone. With an exhaustive list of functions on the app, it’s hard to see where you could possibly be left wanting more with this thermometer.

A multifunctional app contains nine editable presets for different types of meat and has a range of five levels of doneness. You can program the app to inform you when it’s time to flip your burgers or to give you a five-minute warning to let you know when it’s time to come back to the grill, smoker, or oven.

Its 500ft range is a handy quality of life feature that allows you to move freely around your home and attend to other things; knowing that your food is cooking perfectly without having to be constantly scrutinized. Should you move out of range, the ThermoPro BBQ app will let you know, so that you can move back into range straight away.

Its preset temperatures can be tweaked to accommodate for your own personal taste, and you can create your own presets for your favorite recipes via the app. So you can consistently cook your favorites to perfection time and time again. Using the ThermoPro TP910’s dual probes, ThermoPro’s BBQ app will also produce a temperature graph for you to monitor multiple dishes simultaneously, and a triggered alarm history can further help you keep on top of everything.

Sporting many of the same features as some of the more expensive smart thermometers out there, the Govee Bluetooth Meat Thermometer is a competitively priced alternative. Operated via the Govee Home App, you’ll find this dual-probed meat thermometer can offer you much of the same functionality—provided you don’t mind a reduction in operational range.

Temperature data is transferred from the thermometer to your phone, so you can check the temperature of your grill, smoker, or oven while attending to other things. Smart alerts reduce the risk of foods becoming overcooked or burned. You can select a reference temperature via the app, or set a temperature range. Should the reference temperature be exceeded, the thermometer will emit an alarm signal and your phone will vibrate, notifying you to intervene to prevent a charred mess!

Govee’s Home app contains a selection of recommended temperatures for a variety of meats and poultry. For the meat products, you can browse their recommendations for levels of doneness, so that your dish can be cooked just to your liking. Temperature data is clearly displayed via the app, which produces a graph to show you the temperature data for the last hour so that you’ll know at a glance how things are progressing.

One point to note is that the Govee Bluetooth Meat Thermometer does have a slightly reduced range compared to some other wireless meat thermometers. With an effective range of 60m (196ft) you won’t have quite the same freedom of movement as some other devices allow, but how much of an impediment this is will depend entirely on what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for a smart meat thermometer that’s affordable and reliable enough that you don’t need to watch your cook like a hawk, the Govee Bluetooth Meat Thermometer has got you covered.

With its sleek black casing and red digital display, the Inkbird Bluetooth Grill BBQ Meat Thermometer looks like something straight out of Knight Rider’s K.I.T.T. car. This one comes with all the probes (well, four) and features a ‘12 types of meat’ mode. For the curious among you, those 12 types of meat include beef, veal, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, hamburger, BBQ smoke, hot smoke, cold smoke, and custom.

You can rest assured that whoever you are catering for can be catered for. Inkbird’s IBBQ app monitors and tracks your cook for you. Temperatures and temperature ranges can be preset, and you can set different temperatures for each of the four probes; allowing you to cook a variety of tasty dishes to perfection all at once!

Provided that you remember to switch your smartphone’s GPS on, you’ll have an approximate 150ft range with the Inkbird. Not extensive perhaps, but arguably more than adequate to unchain you from the BBQ for the duration of the cook. An alarm will be triggered on both the thermometer and your phone once your food reaches its programmed temperature, so you’ll know when it’s been cooked to a chef’s kiss of perfection.

Best of all, your custom presets will be saved once the device is off, so there’s no need to reprogramme when you want to cook the same thing in the future. The Inkbird Bluetooth Grill BBQ Meat Thermometer charges via USB and can operate for up to 40 hours on a full charge; it makes it well worth considering if you are planning to do some long-haul smoking or barbecuing.

For a fairly modest price, you are getting an impressive four-probe Bluetooth meat thermometer, when comparatively priced products only come with two as standard. Food for thought.

Visually, the NutriChef Upgraded Stainless Dual Wireless BBQ Thermometer looks rather like a track and field stopwatch. It’s easy to picture this one dangling from around your old gym coach’s neck. However, instead of assisting athletes to reach peak performance, this smart device will help your food reach perfection under the grill.

Two stainless steel thermometers are included and are heavy-duty enough to be left inside your oven or grill for the entire duration of your cook. They can withstand temperatures of up to 482 Fahrenheit for heat smoking, and the stainless steel cable wires can withstand temperatures up to 716 Fahrenheit. The cable length is 47.2 inches so you can ensure the thermometer itself can be kept a safe distance away from the heat.

Smartphone support is provided via the EasyBBQ app, which you can use to monitor your dishes. Once the probes have been inserted into the meat, you can program your target temperature, select what you are cooking, and preset your notification alerts. You will receive an instant push notification on your smartphone, should your programmed temperature rise or fall below the set range.

The EasyBBQ app features a variety of pro-cook temperature recommendations for several types of meat; for steaks, you will find a number of different temperature recommendations, depending on what type of steak you are cooking, and your preferred level of doneness. Everything can be monitored up to the minute on your phone, while you are freed up from having to physically check on the food.

This is a mid-priced Bluetooth thermometer and is a sturdy and well-made device that connects easily and produces decent results.

If there is anything slightly negative to say about the NutriChef Upgraded Stainless Dual Wireless BBQ Thermometer, it’s that the app itself might seem somewhat limited in terms of features and content compared to those associated with other Bluetooth thermometers. It does come with all the essentials and you can create your own temperature alerts, and there are some preset ones.

A graph of your temperature readings is also generated, but there are few other features available. However, this may not matter to you if all you are looking for is to be able to remotely monitor your food and have it reliably cooked to your liking.

As with many other Bluetooth thermometers, the BFOUR Bluetooth Meat Thermometer also tracks the progress of your cook via a graph on the app. You can monitor the progress of the cooking and receive alerts at key points during the process. The key selling point with this BFOUR model is the six color-coded probes that are included in the package.

This is the ideal buy for anyone who is looking to cook a number of different dishes at the same time. Each probe provides an instant reading for each individual dish, and you can plan and track each one on the app; removing both the stress and the feeling that you are spinning plates! For a six-probe sensor, the BFOUR Bluetooth Meat Thermometer comes at a bargain price and would suit anyone wanting to do away with the hassle of continuously inspecting several dishes at once.

You can cook large with this thermometer, while you sit back and relax with a cold one. So if you’re looking to cater to a big family, a lot of guests, or if you’re simply feeling mighty hungry, this multi-probe maestro could be the Bluetooth thermometer for you.

You can opt whether to set a high/low-temperature range with your timer or reset manually; whatever your preference. The four probes included with this thermometer can be used to monitor four dishes at once, and the Easy BBQ app can track each of these individually as they cook. The fact that each probe is color-coded makes tracking each dish super easy, as you can identify each one at-a-glance when tracking on the app.

You can run two additional probes (sold separately) if you wish, should you need to cater to more people. Once paired with your smartphone, the Soraken Wireless Meat Thermometer will give you a range of approximately 196 feet.
