Introduction
The meat°it and meat°it + probes consist of a wireless probe (A) and (B), a docking station (C), a key (D) to remove
the probe and a power cable.
This wireless thermometer is compatible with all hobs, including induction hobs. It can also be used on barbecues,
whether open or closed, and in ovens.
It is suitable for fast or slow cooking, from 5 minutes to 24 hours continuous wireless use.
The thermometer can be used on thinner pieces of meat at least 0.6″ (20 mm) thick (burgers, chicken fillets, ribeye
steak, etc.) or thicker cuts (shoulder, brisket, whole chicken, etc.).
The thermometer transmits each change in degree to the connected app almost instantaneously.
The thermometer is accessed and controlled from a phone or tablet via a Bluetooth connection.
The thermometer can detect two temperature levels:
3. The cooking speed, thanks to a sensor located in the ceramic section (A)
4. The internal temperature, via a sensor located in the metal section (B)
More than one thermometer can be controlled at the same time (up to 4 probes) using the meat°it app.
The docking station (C) is used to store, protect and activate the wireless probe. It also recharges the battery in the
probe. An LED light indicates the battery level. The key to remove the probe (D) is located under the docking station
