+1 on adding the reverse sear option.
I also find that steaks are inadequately seared when following their programs on the grill. It either need to sear longer or hotter, but that can get too hot for the ambient temp sensor.
Edit: grill is LP (Weber Genesis)
We're looking into it
Greg, please tell your buddy at Chef IQ to develop a widget for the home screen so when we just want to check the temp, we don't have to click 50 things to find the temperature. That's the biggest blind spot the developers missed! Thanks and great review.
That's a great idea
@@MyCHEFiQ please do it, I emailed support as well, if we can have a temp widget on the homescreen for quick glance monitoring I think you'd have a homerun with novice and professional cooks alike.
@@CostaK It's in the pipeline. Stay tuned.
@@MyCHEFiQ GREAT NEWS
I love the wireless thermometers for low and slow BBQ when I'm working from home or just busy with the kids.
Nothing better
I like the honesty of their app. Thanks for the review, Greg!
The grill option on a 2" steak does specify indirect heat after the initial sear.
Pretty neat thermometers, Greg, and your comments were addressing issues I would be concerned about. Carryover heat, I find, is a function of heat over time, and 400F is way to hot to limit carryover to 5F. Even at 250F I find carryover to be about 10-12F.
Yes, I always plan on at least 10ºF increase as well.
I was surprised how well this device performed. Obviously you don't need an app to tell you how to cook, but it was nice to see the multiple temperature spots as well as the wifi hub. Cheers!!
Awesome review Greg! Thank you for the honesty and the suggestions 🙌
Do you sell the 3 probe version in Australia and can the app be set to metric?
The talking box thing is cool! LOL!
Great review! I love that this is rechargeable, and includes three probes. The app looks to have great promise too. I appreciate that the company asked for your honest feedback, and hope they are able to incorporate your ideas👍😊
Thank you Bobbi! Yeah, so many companies just want people to parrot and perfect everything works. I appreciate a company that gets it.
I've used mine a few times and I like to reverse sear as well. The only way I have found to accomplish this is to use the "quick set" feature. I placed a 2 inch ribeye in the oven a 250 for 25 minutes and pull the steak once the temp hits 120. I then tranfer it to the skillet which was already preheated to Med- Med high with olive oil. Once that steak hits the pan the temp will rise qickly and because of this I only sear each side for NO LONGER than 1 minute. Once I flip it I add butter and and sear for one minute and then pull it. The internal temp will rise to somewhere between 130-135. Good luck. I hope this helps.
100% Medium Greg. - Agreed - with a little tweaking, this will become an excellent product.
I still love all my Meater probes - especially the new Meater 2. - Cheers!
I cook my 2-inch thick ribeyes tob115 F, very rare. So good! Salt only
There's nothing better than a good steak cooked rare
That isn’t rare…that’s blue
Another great video, Gregg! Love these product reviews.
Yeah, I'd use the self-guided function too. Looks good tho.
Greg is a stand-up dude.
I think a few companies are squirming right now!
Love your videos! How was the ambient temp? Those are never close! After 2 wireless thermometers and a waste of money. I'm happy with the Inkbird with 6ea probes. it's right on with my Thermopen!
Thank you for watching! When I was evaluating the other unit, I was testing it against my Thermoworks Smoke and my Fireboard. It was right there with them.
That's exactly why I stopped using a thermometer to cook steaks.
No matter what I do they end up over cooked.
Doing it by feel for years with no problem.
No offense intended.
But I do used them for pork loin and poultry.
No offense taken! I personally prefer doing real thick steaks (like these) reverse sear, flip at 85ºF and pull at 188ºF, rest then sear on a cold grate. It's difficult to go by feel on internal temperatures that low.
@@BallisticBBQ well anyway I have a thermometer stuck in a whole picanha in the oven after I seared it first on all sides this morning then put back in the refrigerator.
It had salt pepper and garlic on it before the sear.
It's set at 100F
As long as my streak has a good sear like yours I don't care how raw it is in the middle.
Yeah. Steaks are definitely a feel. I never trust a thermometer.
I agree about the final cook. 400 is way too high.
I don't need my phone telling me how to cook my steak.
Love your channel. Really don’t care for all the features on this product, I’ll decide when I want to flip the steak. All that’s needed is to know meat temp and grill temp and for those temps to be fast and accurate, plus the probe needs to be able to withstand higher temps than the meter probs.
Looks a lot thinner than my Meater probes. Good review.
Single probe is $267 in the UK but only $69.99 in the US! Crazy difference. They could ship it to the UK for $5
It'll be available in the UK later this year! Stay tuned!
Thanks Greg! I just checked their website and there is conflicting info on the probe’s max temp - both 572° and 752° are mentioned. It is obvious that high heat grill searing presents a problem with the current crop of these units, clearly you were aware of this based on the location of the ambient sensor during the sear… Best Wishes!
Thank you! Yeah, I think they're still trying to get all of their ducks in a row. I'll point this out to them. Cheers!
Good to see you man. Very cool video.
Hey, thanks for check'n in.
Yes, it was a little bit overdone, IMO. I'd still eat it!
Fun fact: Carryover is from the hotter parts of the meat cooking the cooler parts of the meat all the while the whole thing is cooling down after being removed from the energy source.
@mychefiq please add a temperature warning feature for high and low temps. This would be so helpful when stoking my wood on the smoker!
I wouldn't want the steak any less cooked. It looked good!
Great review, Greg. How does it compare to meater?
Better value. Not even close.
It’s exactly what I need. Will purchase since you endorse it.
Thank you, Greg.
Pretty cool. Cheers, Greg!👍🏻👍🏻✌️
I have been grilling steaks for over 30yrs and I would never use a chef IQ 😂😂😂 what a joke 😂😂😂
You are truly awesome.
Thanks for video
Greg, does that hub need to be right next to the grill? The problem that I had with the Meater was that the signal couldn't get past the metal of the grill! It was useless, and I went back to the Thermoprobe.
No, it does not need to be that close. I had the hub sitting about 3' from my cooker.
Awesome!
This looks pretty , cool just been using the chef Temp Pro which I’ve been really impressed with .
Wouldn’t mind checking these out
Using this device I was shooting for a medium rare and it was more like medium. So I think I'll just go and set for rare and see how that works.
Wow! Have a great Sunday Boss 😊🏆👍
Once they work out the bugs, it will be the top dog.
Don't let AI tell you how to cook, Ballistic!
WOW!
Has anyone but me noticed that they've started calling meat protein?
Like meat isn't PC anymore.
Just saying.
I don't think it's a PC thing. I'm about as old-school as it gets when it comes to being "PC." I used the word protein without even concerning myself with being politely correct. It's a restaurant term, I guess that's why it's used.
And because it's not just for meat, I use it for chicken, fish etc
@@ThePinnyK
I've always considered any muscle tissue we eat as meat.
Any vegan or vegetarian would probably agree.
Concur
I haven’t had a chance it use it yet but I have the three probe hub. Can I use one of the probes with a grill clip? I want something to tell me the temps at grill level.
Edit… I guess I should watch the video lol
What is the glove you are using
Sup Greg, that's awesome, I'm not a tech guy, as may remember I have hard time sending email lol. That can even go in fryer 🤯, I've never used a wireless one, brother has, just blows my mind. What was total cook time? I grill one about 15-20 min unless reverse sear, rest 10 min with butter 🤫, maybe daughter get it for me father's day? I don't grill much anymore, so would be for her🤷, tyvm tc
Four minutes on the direct sear and around 18-20 on the indirect side. Hope all is well, Ronald!
@@BallisticBBQ tyvm, not too bad time, soon will be technically to cook for us lol. Tace care
Any discount codes?
Someone needs to make one you can attach flights to and play darts after dinner.
Do a deep-fried video, PLEASE! KFC copycat!!!
Uhh...NOPE!
It seems like everyone is coming out with these things now.
Lol by the time that setup is complete I'm having my steak...
🙂👍🥂
that aint medium
Honestly, anyone who can cook can out-cook these so-called "AI" apps (they're not AI, they're just rudimentary programs). Your best bet with any of these devices is to learn how to cook and then use these as simple tools to tell you the temperature. The other features are largely useless and I resent having to create an account just to remotely check the temperature of my meat.
The probe is inserted in the wrong spot. You need to close the lid to stop flare ups.
Maybe you do not cook using open flame aka charcoal......you aren't searing with the lid on. When searing you WANT the flare up which is why you do it with the lid OFF (feed the 🔥).....Did you notice what he was doing? moving the meat around? It was very intentional and exactly how you do a sear....If he would have closed the lid as you suggest then the steak would have cooked internally and gotten to temp, with zero sear/char on the outside.
