Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like that in the instruction book, it mentions if you're using two thermometers, and the temps are different, it could be because of their placement, and the food being at different temps in different areas inside, or it may just be that the OTHER thermometer is inaccurate. No mention that it could be THIS one that is inaccurate. I like that bravado. After installing the app on my phone, I was forced to watch a "before first use" video. No way to skip it until it completed through its end. Annoying. Then I had to watch another video about how to insert it. This one was longer, and again, cannot be skipped. But those only seem to be during the pairing process at least. But if you try to get out of either of the videos, pairing will be cancelled. But once you can finally get in the app, it's straight forward. Although the "charts" option on the bottom selector has nothing at all in it for this item. I would have liked if the app would see what product I've got and not give me options like this if my item isn't even in the list. The cook option is easy to read and manage. Manual lets you select your temp manually by dragging the temp indicator up or down to the desired temp. Or there are options for Chicken, Beef, Beef Roast, Pork, Turkey, Lamb, Plant Based, Veal, and Fish. Once you select a specific type of meat like that, then it gives you options for specifics such as roast, chop, and your doneness points. Rare, M. Rare, Medium, M. Well, Well. I have to say, the options within each type of meat are quite thorough and should cover anything I'd ever need to do. The app also gives the battery level of the thermometer on the top right. Under Settings, you can modify your account details and your appliances, and opt out of uploading anonymous data or allow push notifications to your device. There you can also change from F to C, get instructional tips and even enable warnings for the thermometer being too hot (which is enabled by default). Finally, as the last step of beginning the cooking, there is a "don't show me this again" option for the videos. And after disconnecting, and reconnecting, they don't show up again so it's only during the pairing process. This isn't my first wireless thermometer, but it IS the first one that needs the charging case to be "as close as possible to the cooking appliance" - can't be more than 5 feet away. And from what I've seen searching online, the reason for the charging case nearby is that it is also a Bluetooth repeater, so it's apparently increasing the signal for better reception wherever your phone or tablet are. Nice thinking. I compared this to the other one I have doing a steak tonight. I prefer my steaks medium well, and I had both inserted as near as possible to the center without being on top of each other, so that I could compare and contrast. So both were about the same depth within the thickness of the meat, both had about the same length sticking out. And while it cooked, both seemed to pretty much parallel each other both food and ambient temp consistently through the cooking, generally within a degree of each other, although at random times it seemed much larger of a variance since this Ninja one updates itself MUCH more frequently than the other one did, and that is one fact that I really appreciated. I could look and get an instant idea of what the temp was. With the other, I have to wait like 8 or 10 seconds for it to see if it is changing or not. The charging case is nicely done and solid, although it's annoying to have to have a coin or screwdriver or something to twist open the battery cover rather than having one that just slides open. But since that isn't something I should have to do to often I can live with it. Build quality is excellent for both the charger and the thermometer. Compared to the other one I have, the thermometer is SO much more solid and weighty, doesn't feel cheap. Definitely a good addition to my kitchen. This will be the one I use now, with the other simply being a fallback if something happens to this one, or if I actually have multiple things going at once (single guy whose kid moved out a couple years ago so I'm cooking for one now). If you're looking or a wireless thermometer like this, of the four or five I've had, this one is definitely the best. Another case of getting what you pay for.

The Ninja ProChef™ Wireless Thermometer has definitely helped my cooking. Its wireless feature allows me to monitor temperatures remotely, freeing me from being tethered to the kitchen. The app integration is seamless, giving real-time updates straight to my phone. On my first use, it saved me from overcooking a steak because the steak reached temperature before my timer went off, ensuring it was perfectly done. The build quality is premium, and the user interface is intuitive. Although the only downside is the size of the thermometer. Its just too big if you're trying to cook anything less than meat that's 1 1/2 inches thick. The thermometer’s range allows for multitasking, and its accuracy ensures every dish is cooked to perfection. The app is well-designed, offering cooking tips and saving preferred settings. The battery life is impressive, handling multiple sessions without a recharge. Despite minor setup challenges, the Ninja ProChef is a great addition for any kitchen, providing convenience, accuracy, and peace of mind. Highly recommended for cooking enthusiasts!
