I test a lot of smart home devices for work, but my real passion lies in the kitchen. My cooking space is where these two worlds collide. I have a range of gadgets that I use while I prepare food, such as a large Echo Show 15 smart display to view recipes and catch up on TV shows. But the Meater 2 Plus smart meat thermometer has quickly become my most essential cooking tool since it streamlines the way I work.
This sleek wireless probe is packed with sensors that accurately relay the temperature of my proteins as they're cooking. I can view my meal's live progress using the Meater app on my phone. From that app, I can even choose which type of meat I'm working with and set a target internal temperature to receive notifications as the meat approaches my desired doneness.
