Very good remote thermometer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using Yummly's thermometer for the past few years and it was pretty decent. But, Yummly stop supporting it late last year. So, I was in the marker for a new one. Shopped around and decided to go with this one. It gets the job done and the app is better decent

Convenient
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went wireless after using a wired digital thermometer for years and love the convenience following the change. Can hook up to phone -- but temp also gets sent/displayed to core unit.

Temp without an App!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this set because the charging case displays the temperature. Other similar thermometers require an app to show the temp. Very versatile.

Two probes are better than one
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only a few uses in and it far surpasses my older probes for ease of use and features. I have not used both probes simultaneously yet. I was too excited to make a couple of my go to items, a tomahawk steak and a whole chicken. Two items I always want a monitoring device for. And it was as easy as could be to insert the probe. Choose the meat and doneness level (chicken does not have heat levels like beef, 165 degrees minimum). Toss on the grill, or in oven. And sit back and monitor your food from your favorite seating area of choice. The probe monitors the ambient temp of the oven or grill. The internal temp of the protein being cooked. And it even estimates when the food might be done, although this fluctuates a bit on the grill with indirect cooking. I did double check the grill from time to time as I have had false readings from other devices and resulted in overcooked meals. And anytime you use a new grill thermometer, or even just grilling, always best to check in on it. Anyways, the steak was perfectly done to medium rare. And the chicken came out perfectly tender, juicy and perfectly cooked to my preferences. Never had any dropped connections, alarm is distinct and easy to mute. And the probes cleaned up easy as silverware. If you grill for a family or just yourself. It's a very easy recommendation to get the Twin Tempspike. Meat is expensive and the Tempspike just about insures you don't ruin a meal by overcooking. Key things to note as to why you want this model: Ambient temps around the food and not just internal temps like many others. Super easy to read backlit temps on base unit. Very long range. Leave base next to grill or oven, keep phone with you... go mingle. Easy to understand app that does not require access to everything on your phone! Two temp spikes so you don't ruin picky eaters meat if you get side tracked. Its orange and easy to find. Its magnetic, it can stay near the grill so you don't have to. Its rechargeable. Only negatives so far, The cover on base unit has no way to stay attached to the base unit. You may want to leave it in the box with the other sort of negative observation. The little scrub brush also may get lost over time. But both of those are nit pickings. Its a great product so far.

It makes it hard to push into meat. Second, it doesnt keepba charge. I have to charge mine up right before I use it. Big waste of money

Probes will not connect after a few uses.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probes was unable to connect to base after 3 uses. There customer service did send me a new device with both probes but this unit has one probe that failed to connect to the base after 2 uses. But great customer service. I'll try to call again to see if they can refund me or I'll just keep going through this cycle.

A real contender in the Meat Thermometer Market
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used a number of meat thermometers over the years, but they all had some deficiency that I grew to dislike. All were wired, and way too often there were huge temperature differences in the readings where multiple probes were used. The ThermoPro Twin TempSpike is my latest go-to. This unit comes with two wireless Probes (distinguished by White and Black colors), the Booster, and a USB type C cable for charging. Upon receipt, I gave the Booster a fresh charge. The Booster has a digital window on its front that, when not in use, shows the battery level for the two Probes and the Booster itself. If nothing shows on the screen, press the “S” button on the Booster and the battery levels for all three will appear. A second button next to the “S” button will illuminate the screen if it’s dark out. The batteries for this system are non-replaceable. The Probes are stored in the Booster housing and are charged at the same time as the Booster. The Probes communicate with the Booster when being used, while the Booster communicates with the Smart App (see below) via WiFi. The Booster has an embedded USB type C charging port on the side. Jumping ahead, one claim regarding this unit is its ability to monitor its temperature probes from as far away as 500ft. I couldn’t confirm this largely because I live in a home that sits just feet from my neighbor’s house. For this system to communicate over such a long distance, it requires an “Unobstructed” view to where the Booster is located. Unfortunately, where I live doesn’t accommodate unobstructed views, so I didn’t put much effort into this. I can confirm that I was able to monitor the cooking of two steaks anywhere in and around my house using my phone. This thermometer has an accompanying smart app, called TempSpike, which I downloaded from the Google Play Store. With the Booster in-hand and the app installed, the app syncs to the Booster to enable communication between the two. Having two probes is helpful. If you have a large enough piece of meat to be cooked, you can use the two probes to monitor opposite sides of the same slab. Or, monitor individual steaks like I typically do. As I mentioned, this unit has an accompanying app that makes it easy to watch the progress of what’s being cooked. Should the phone or the app stop working properly, the Booster has a digital display that shows the meat’s internal temperature by Probe, the target temperature for when the meat should be done, and the ambient temperature inside the cooker/stove/grill. I should note that the Booster has a magnet on its backside allowing you to attach it to any object with a metallic surface. The smart app can support more than one TempSpike device, thus allowing you to monitor multiple probes beyond those accompanying this unit. Additionally, the app allows you to ‘name’ the various pieces of meat to make it easier to associate probe-to-piece-of-meat. Consider a situation where you like your steak cooked medium-well, while your guest likes theirs cooked well-done. Name one Jim’s-Steak and other one Sally’s-Steak. One is set for medium-well while the other is set for well-done. My use thus far has been very positive. At no time did I find the meat being undercooked or overcooked, and the internal temperatures have been +/- 2 degrees from an instant meat thermometer I have been using. I used this to cook steaks and a large tenderloin. All were cooked to perfection. All in all, I’m pleased with this ThermoPro Twin TempSpike Meat Thermometer. It has a well-built feel to it and thus far has worked to my liking. As such, I’m giving it a 5-star rating!

Simple to Use and Effective
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used a lot of Meat Thermometer's in my life and I have to say this is by far my favorite. These old eyes aren't as good as they used to be to see those little numbers on the probes that have the numbers attached, not to mention having to bend down, pull out the pan to check those numbers. With the ThermoPro Twin TempSpike 500FT Truly Wireless Meat Thermometer I don't have those problems any more. First, it was quick and easy to charge. While it comes with its own cable - USB-C/USB-A, I have a standing charging station in my kitchen with a USB-C cable for everyone that comes to visit and needs to charge something as they always forget their chargers. I hooked it right up to that and it was charged in less than 30 minutes. The time could have been much shorter but I got busy and didn't check back until that time. Registering, downloading the app, and pairing to my phone was quick and easy, something even a grandmother can do. The instructional guide was easy to read and understand and I was now good to go. As I was planning on baking a corned beef point cut roast, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to see how this would work using two probes for one piece of meat. I was interested as, with this cut, part of the meat was thicker than another section of meat. I was able to insert a probe in both sections which allowed me to know when the thinner section was done so I could cut that from the roast and finish cooking the rest. It worked great! First, I programmed the probes in the app. It is so easy as all you do is select the type of meat you are cooking, set it to how you want it cooked (rare, medium, etc.) and it automatically sets a temperature for you. If you want to set it yourself, you can create your own profile to do that. Second, as recommended in the instructions, you need to make sure the probe is all the way in the meat with the end not sticking out. There is a line on the probes which need to be fully into your meat to work properly. I found it easier to just shove it so the probe is all the way encased in the meat. There was a warning my first time doing this that if the meat was wrapped in foil, the probe had to go through the foil and into the meat. You can also set the ambient temperature which lets you know if the temp of the oven falls below or goes able the temp you set for it. Then it was sit back and wait to be told one of the probes reached the temperature you wanted. No constant looking, pulling the meat in and out, etc. It takes away the anxiety of making sure you don't overcook meat. The whole corned beef came out perfect. Next, I tried it on two steaks cooked on my indoor grill. Again, it was so much easier not to worry about whether either of them would be overcooked. We got a perfect rare and medium steak with no extra cuts in the meat to see if it was done the way we wanted. As I'm the rare person, it was very satisfying to have the steak cooked just the way I like it. I also tried it on a pork roast in my crockpot. I could not find anything that said it could not be used this way, so, I used it that way. I just made sure that the probe went in at the top so there was no chance of it getting wet from the broth it was cooked with. I had no issues with it and, again, it worked great for me. I absolutely recommend this ThermoPro Twin TempSpike 500FT Truly Wireless Meat Thermometer. I think this is a great gift idea, particularly for seniors whose eyes don't work as well as they used it or anyone who has difficulty using their oven due to the bending.

Twice the fun!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Review for ThermoPro Twin TempSpike 500FT Truly Wireless Meat Thermometer with 2 Probes and Signal Booster When we entertain family, we always cook a variety of foods to help out people with dietary restrictions. Sometimes we’ll cook a ham or steaks, but also have chicken for those can’t or don’t eat red meat. The ThermoPro meat thermometers have come in very handy for managing multiple efforts like this. I especially like the fact that the case functions as a booster for the signal since sometimes one item is cooking outside on the grill and the other is in the oven or in the air fryer. The extended range makes checking on both temps a breeze. The thermometers themselves are very well made and durable. It’s important to insert them fully up to the mark into the item you’re cooking for an accurate temperature. They also keep track of the ambient temp, so you can easily see the temperature in your oven or grill at the same time. The TempSpike app is easy to use and makes monitoring your cooking very convenient. I like how you can pick the kind of dish you’re measuring and set the temperature or use the default. You can also create profiles for custom dishes, as well. You can choose different alarm tones to make it easy to know how each device is doing. If I could change one thing in the app, I would suggest allowing multiple devices to monitor the temperature probes. Sometimes I’m grilling and would like to use my phone, other times, I’m cooking indoors and am using my tablet for recipes and would prefer to monitor the probes from it. But this is not a dealbreaker, by any means!

Broke after dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They worked great. Until the day we finally put it in the diswasher. Stop reading temps correctly and started not connecting to bluetooth. False advertising in dishwasher safe. $150 wasted.

Unreliable product and poor Total Tech Customer Se
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially was impressed with range of the spikes, but the white on stopped taking a charge after the first cook. The black spike lasts a few hours and then is dead. Best Buy (Total Tech member) online support would not offer any assistance only a few months of use.

Amazing and a Must Have
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ever since I started cooking by temperature instead of time, my meals have turned out more successful than not. If you are looking for a temperature probe that lets you monitor your meats while you relax in another room, then this is exactly what you are looking for. Before making the decision to buy a TempSpike, you much know the limitations of the device. For starters, it is a bit thicker than you wired probes, or an insta-read thermometers. It can be about 2-3 times as thick, and that will limit what meats you can monitor. Also, you are required to insert the probe past the marker, which is at least 2.5 inches deep. This again will limit your meat size, or at least make you more creative on where to probe. Other than these two requirements, the probe is an amazing tool to add to your kitchen. Not only does it monitor the internal temperature, you can also see the ambient temperature in your oven/grill. The application is easy to use, and allows you to record your temperatures over a period of time so you can see the timeline and if there are any problems. The base charges the probes with USB-C, and shows you information regarding the probe temperatures and battery life. Overall, using these probes are quite easy through the app. Would it have been nice to control some things from the base? Sure, but for what it is, the app is reliable. After using this for a few barbeque sessions, I've come to realize that it is most useful for long cooks with large meats. Another thing to consider is that the base acts as a booster, so it should be close to the probes to have the best signal. I have been able to smoke brisket for over 10 hours and still have some battery life left in the probes. If I had one complaint, it would be that I wish the app was more flexible on how I set temperatures. Currently, you need to set up a profile, instead of being able to just set a temperature immediately. It's a little annoying, but not a big deal once you have your profiles made. If I had any final thoughts, it's that I should have used these sooner. They are invaluable for long cooks, and even more so if you have an unreliable heat source like an offset smoker. Overall, I would absolutely recommend these for anyone wanting to perfect their cooking game.
