Ordered one yesterday. They solved many of my old gripes. I melted 2 gen 1s, using it on my rotisserie and they other on my Kamado Joe.

[@garryhammond3117]

I started with the crowd-funded Meater right from the start (waited for almost two years for it to be delivered), then graduated to the Meater Block, and then the Meater "+". I have been completely satisfied with every one of them. No Bluetooth issues (as long as you follow the Bluetooth rules) no mechanical issues - I occasionally did get over temp warnings, but everything still works. Would (will?) I buy the new unit? - Totally YES. - The app is amazing. - Great review Roel - Cheers!

[@Sharky762]

Hoping for a Meater 2 block here

[@bobbicatton]

Brilliant demonstration of the new features👍😊

[@cookingwithyayaslamdien6747]

Like this new thermometer. Thanks for the demonstration. Can't wait to replace my old ones

[@Gepstra]

Wauw wat een positieve review! Zal wel stierenschijt zijn dus 👍

[@johanberghmans4088]

Hoe goed is het bereik in een combi-magnetron? Ik heb de oorspronkelijke meater plus (die het niet meer doet overigens) en het (donkerbruinere) meater block. En in beide gevallen moest ik de houder tegen de deur van de oven aanhouden. Hoop dat dat met deze 2.0 versie beter werkt. In dat geval wil ik deze er zeker bij. Is dat niet het geval zijn de magneten wellicht handig(er).

[@PaulusdeBk]

I have killed a meater+ over open charcoal fire. It never reached the 300 degrees, but still, the ceramic and the endtip were slightly separated and not working anymore. On my second Meater+ the indication light on the bamboo box stopped functioning, but that can be overcome once you know. Most problems with the Meater+ I have with the weak signal reception in my all concrete house. My Kamado is on the roof terrace. I have to strategically place the box somewhere halfway in the staircase to have a signal. Very curious about the Meater 2.0! Will definetely order one.

[@maddin129]

How is the Bluetooth connectivity when submerged in the oil of the fryer?

[@aresdreams]

Maybe if they would release one like the meater block. Using the block as wifi connection works fine for me most of the time, and would like more than one thermometer

[@MortyP]

Great video - love jacket/shirt. What brand/model…🤩🙏🏼

[@travismartin4232]

I just received mine today and what I found interesting was that when pairing with the app, the "DO NOT" instructions they have you read before pairing specifically says, "DO NOT use when searing" and "DO NOT use over open flame or hot coals". I was under the impression this new version now allowed you to do those things as the Temp threshold was bumped up to like 1000 degrees.

[@devy32]

That’s a bummer, I would be only interested if I could use it in a pan

[@superneovvl36]

I used it on a pan, and it was fine, but if it gets too high the app will notify you, just remove it right away.

[@dondgc2298]

“Open flames” are hotter than 1,000 degrees…

[@KR7PT]

It's like a waterproof watch - they will rate it as water resistant with pressure resistance but then say some shit like "Do not intentionally submerge in water for over 30 minutes" as a disclaimer so they don't have to warrant it.

[@junzhuji]

Can it be used during sous vide slow cooking?🤔

[@ExSoldier762]

Okay I have one of the original and one of the new generation. My GEN 1 had two serious flaws: First the range was about six feet and second, it kept adjusting the cook time upwards at the end and wound up seriously overcooking. Now I check with a thermoprobe near the end. The next generation only improves the range by a little bit. Maybe 20 feet. And the other problem is still present. However, it’s still the best product of it’s type on the market.

[@gchomuk]

I had similar problems. Range wasn't bad as long as the block was near the cook, but the cook estimate would swing wildly from "14 hours remaining" to "take it off now or it will be charcoal." Seriously? I quit using the app to estimate cook time. Maybe it was due to that one single sensor? I'm skeptical, but I received mine as a gift from my son, so I just bought two. One as a gift for him. We'll see.

[@JayNorsk]

@@gchomukI got the Meater and after that the Meater+ both have the same issue: cook estimate. it varies SO much ! even when I use my regular oven, where the heat should be fairly consistent. But that did not stop me from buying the Meater 2 Plus.... I HOPE they fixed the problem with this one.

[@timgroves6999]

Do they do the block of 4 for the meator 2 plus

[@furstenfeldbruck]

Hell yea I want that for Christmas

[@davidhogenmiller248]

Just got one of these. The BT range is not very good and worse it seems to really have problems communicating through even windows. I tried it on Dino ribs and the meat turned out great but there is no way I can keep my phone that close to the grill for 6 hours. I get a notification every 2 minutes once it gets disconnected which is really annoying. It may not be usable until the end phase of long cooks.

[@therichieboy]

The Meater plus is great but damn I've had a lot of connectivity problems with it. I now keep a dedicated phone literally next to the dock which is never less than a meter from my BBQ and it works ok. May be my house build or WiFi quality. I'd love to know if the 2 will fix this but no way 8m spending the money till I kill my old one!

[@sham9174]

Typhur Sync for the win. Same old Meater trash.

[@jameyhaz]

curious of the real temperature of the oil?? should have a temperature probe in the oil vs the Meater. Curious how the 932 degree limit is going to hold up against a 1000 degree open flame?

[@bobpants1469]

I have one of the first gen it's usless in a BBQ as the ambient heat radiates through the whole unit from the metal sensor end

[@ne0teric]

That conduction would be present no matter the method of cooking... grill, oven, etc.

[@bobpants1469]

@@ne0teric Either way, it's a terrible leave-in thermometer. I used it in a chicken on the weekend and there's a 100f difference in the Meater reading to the hood thermometer (which is accurate to 15f I've tested it).

[@ethiopianbuffman]

Did you measure fry temp with infrared gun? Someone else’s review said meater temp was off by a good amount

[@PITMASTERX]

The meater thermometer is calibrated before packing

[@chipsammich2078]

Hopefully has better range than the old ones.. literally like 10 feet on my old one..

[@jamesbrandon8520]

Unfortunately I have the whole 4 piece set of the original one but I also have seen 2 other reviews on this one and both people said that the ambient temperature was off

[@GamingForTheRecentlyDeceased]

Ambient should only be a guide and not relied on with these probes. Putting a probe in a giant hunk of cold meat won't be accurate due to the cold meat being so close. You should always have a backup thermometer for your actual bbq

[@jeffrey8859]

Looked at the Meater Plus 2 yesterday, unfortunatly the item is not yet shipped to the Netherlands yet

[@PITMASTERX]

I order them via Germany.

[@jtikla1]

Is it then shipped to the Netherlands? Would be great if that works!

[@WILLSPA50]

I would like to know if we can buy a probe by itself and will it work with the meater block?

[@WILLSPA50]

@keitha2003 company's that do that don't get my money. Lucky this one was a gift.

[@danielscheerer3032]

Already ruined 2 of my 4-pack, so I guess I'll be investing in the new hardware! Good to know - thanks!

[@donhughes8465]

I have a Meater+. I might wait for the Meater 2 Block to upgrade. The Meater+ I have has been absolutely excellent.

[@Sharky762]

Hoping for a Meater 2 block here to replace the original block so I can pass that one on

[@parttimegodxx]

Love it!!!

[@LittleZakie]

Bought 3 of the first gen. Charging problems, thermometer ungluing or stopped working ... bought a 30 euros Inkbird on amazon and does wonders for a third of the price.

[@shaunpookey]

MEATER is a waste of money man, I bought the block and have so many issues

[@beka4780]

I also have one - for me it is the best!

[@thomaseggleston2583]

I hope you are right. I just ordered mine solely off your suggestion. It sound’s legitimate.

[@dintsa8969]

you know this video is sponsored...right? Its better to wait a bit to see real reviews

[@jay-sea]

your certificate shows they didn't certify the ambient sensor..... guess thats why it was off

[@LS-ty9eo]

How to / where to buy in the Netherlands right now?

[@PITMASTERX]

Amazon.de

[@Mr_D555]

I have a Meter + that was given to me as a present, the few times I used it I kept getting disconnects. Today I deleted my profiles and did a reset on the App and it seems to be solid now. I will just take your word on the deep fryer test, I'm not doing that. HA

[@sphinxios]

i just wonder how long the electronics and battery will last, electronics are not welded together they are soldered. and if not made with high temp parts it wont last long!!!

[@hetspook666]

Graag meeloten 😂

[@robertwoods4457]

Biggest problem was the distance from meater to phone. Couldn’t even go 100 feet without it working. ThTs why I never bought one

[@maccaster4454]

This problem can be solved using the Meater Cloud. You just need to have two mobile devices, one close to the probe or Meater block and the second … well, could be anywhere, if connected :)

[@PITMASTERX]

This is the meater +, which means it is cloud based and you can check it anywhere in the world

[@robertwoods4457]

@@PITMASTERX I get that but all these companies say you can 500 feet no problem or 1,000 feet and no problem. But that being said you can’t even get 200 feet without it being out of range.

[@maccaster4454]

@@PITMASTERX Right, I have the Meater+, I assume there will be the M2+ as well. Anyway, when buying probe like this, I suggest go for the plus version.

Can this thing survive in a sous vide bag for a few hours?

[@surfingonmars8979]

I have the original Meater, and the Meater 2 is on the way from the company. But Meater 1 was a dud - the blue tooth range was about 10 feet. It was a real disappointment - I dont even know why I ordered M2.

[@littlebob1261]

None of them have any range, at all

[@markandrews1219]

Looks like the introduction of Combustion Inc and its 8 sensors for measuring temperature, has forced other manufacturers to improve their products.

[@SorryIAteYourCookiesSanta]

Rusten 😊

[@JohnBaxendale]

tbh, I grill with my original Meater and also thought it was waterproof, so these "new features" don't seem to be very new!

[@CountryWoodSmoke]

Brilliant thermometer, love a dirty steak

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

chicken liver and intestines tasty for me Sir

[@pvoshefski]

Ceramic and stainless steel both have melting temps way beyond what you'll encounter when grilling, so that material change makes no difference.

[@curtismatsune3147]

Time to re-season that carbon steel pan. In old time America, after the harvest when the fields would be burned back the wives and mothers would bring their cast iron cookware that needed re-seasoning and they'd put them in the flames of the burning fields to get bare cast iron after the fire died out.

[@Notmy00000]

Jammer dat de nieuwe meater GEEN WIFI heeft

[@stevengarman9112]

combustion inc is still better :)

[@saics]

Combustion doesn’t support wifi

[@seboTwo]

Not worth the money. Oven runs 120 celsius for over 20 minutes and shows 80 Celsius

[@djrx22]

reason why no ones talking about it is its not good. They cant figure out wifi like the chef IQ did. Sad but true. TY for the review.

[@landmanp]

Sorry Pitmaster, maar laat je sponseren door goeie producten, Ik waardeer jouw kookkunsten enorm. Maar Meater zijn waardeloze dingen, ze zijn duur en werken totaal niet. Elke keer de verbinding kwijt en ook de app kan de stick niet vinden. NIET KOPEN DUS!

[@johanberghmans4088]

Daar heb ik toch geen last van - heb de meater plus en sinds vorig jaar een meater block. De meater plus is helaas naar de filistijnen - heb die een paar keer te heet laten worden. Maar heb er ruim 2,5 jaar met plezier gebruik van gemaakt. En de meater block heb ik helemaal geen issues mee. Super product. Hoop dat deze meater 2 plus wel beter in een oven werkt.

[@landmanp]

@@johanberghmans4088 Lees de reviews maar na, er zijn volop connectie issues.

[@sham9174]

More Meater trash. No WiFi? Laughable! Typhur Sync for the win!

[@Passajero]

Meater 2 its a total crap! Its Algorithm is not precise at all! I set Target Temp on the Ribeye at 56c and when it reaches 50c it asks me to Remove the Meat from the heat. I immediately remove the meat from the heat and it continues cooking it far further than the 56c Target I had inserted at the beggining. It keeps cooking during the Resting period and at the end when it says Cook Done its already 65 degrees, overcooked and for the bin. I paid 100 Euros for this piece of junk metal with Wifi capabilities. Totally useless and paid by my own hard earned money...

[@alwaysright3718]

Idiotic price, there are way better options than this...
