Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all the probes are to thick. 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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

I like to make a brisket from time to time, and I use my Traeger to do so, however I don’t trust the Traeger’s temp probe because I have found it is not accurate enough to ensure I don’t overcook the brisket. This is were the the Thermopro Twin Tempspike comes in. I used both probes to make a 19 pound brisket with a target temperature of 195 degrees. The Twin TempSpike was easy to setup with the iOS app and I was able to set individual target temperatures for each probe by color (white or black). Since both probes went into the same meat both had a target temperature of 195. However if you are making two different types of meats, then you can set a target temp for the black probe and a target temp for the white probe and see where everything is at a glance of your phone or the booster/carrying/charging case. Another good feature in the app is you can set your phone to vibrate, sound an alarm, or both when the target temperature has been reached. I mentioned earlier but you can also see the ambient temperature, meat temperature, or automatically toggle between the two temperatures on the booster/carrying/charging case. This is ideal because I DO NOT want to pull out my phone to check the temperature of something I am right next to. I will pull up my phone if I am far away (on the couch or drinking garage beers). I had no issues with the Twin TempSpike as it accurately measured the internal temperature. Without accurate measurements all of the smart features would be useless, like my Traeger’s probe. While this is item is not necessary to cook, it is a convenience item that makes cooking easy with temperature alerts on your phone and on the case. Once you have experienced the convenience of the Twin Tempspike where you can track the temp of one or two items independently, you will soon find that this convenience item may creep into the necessary category for you.

Terrible Never worked Tried 3 times Would not recommend

If you love to grill or smoke in the summer, this thermometer is ideal. I've been wanting a wireless thermometer for awhile to upgrade from my wired Taylor. It served it's purpose but I had to keep going and checking it. That means if you're entertaining and busy with anything else you'd have to stop and go out to the grill constantly. Having this Temp Spike solved that. I can now stay with guests or work on projects and know what's happening with the grill. If you're close enough (up to 500 feet) you can have the booster pack (main unit) with you. Or leave it by the grill and check the app on your phone. I love this! Having 2 probes is great. 2 different pieces of meat or one in the meat and one elsewhere in the grill to better monitor temp fluctuations. (very helpful on a big green egg) Each probe does monitor the meat and ambient temp in one spot. The Booster pack is where you charge the probes. Just plug them back in their holders and your ready for next time. Getting everything setup was super easy. Charge up the boisterous and download the app. Thermopro has several apps, get the "Tempspike" one. The app found the thermometer immediately. That's it! I will be using this thermometer so much now that grilling season is here.

I got my hands on the ThermoPro TempSpike and I must say, I was very happy with the outcome. For years i've fumbled around trying to get my hands on a decent instant read thermometer. The truth is they were never very "instant", and no one wants to stand around with the grill lid open just to get a reading. Also many of those devices have plastic bodies which is a no go. Enter the TempSpike. These probes are compact, and made with a fully metal body. So no fears of them melting. They are rated up to 572' F...sorry no broilers! The device comes with an awesome carry case that acts as a charger and repeater for the bluetooth signal. Also, the charger uses USB-C which is great because it means not having to have another bulky transformer to keep track of. The app was super easy to install and pair with the device. The app was clean and was pretty intuitive to use. The data it gives you is internal temp of the meat, and ambient temp outside the meat. So this is pretty handy for keeping an eye on your grill temps. I liked that it had a pre-built setting for all sorts of meats that allowed you to customize the doneness. And what's great about setting your doneness temp is that the app will alert you when the meat has reached its final temp. It did this with a nice loud alert sound. And finally, it also provides an estimate for how long until your meat is cooked. YMMV on this, I noted that it didn't behave perfectly with a pellet grill since they go through such wild temp swings. I'm going to try a standard gas grill next and see if it maintains a more accurate estimate of cook time. My only real knock on it was with the instruction manual. I had to dig through it to try and figure out its max temp. And more importantly, was it dishwasher safe? Happy to say that after a quick google search I was able to determine that it is IP67 and dishwasher safe. I would and have already recommended this to others.

The twin temp spike should be in every grillers tool bag. Both spikes come pre paired to the booster/case. The case has an LED screen that shows each spikes ambient/internal temp. The spikes also pair with the temp spike phone app. It takes literally seconds to mate with the app. The app has every setting you would need for multiple meats, cooking finishes from rare to well-done, Along with estimated time left to cook. I set the app for 2 pork butts for my first test. When my smoker was up to temp. I inserted both spikes in each pork butt. I placed the booster case (which has magnets in it) on the outside of my cooker. I was able to monitor the temp from within my house. I set the alarm for about 10 degrees before the desired temp. When it reached the temp an alarm warned me I was within 10 degrees. I headed out to retrieve the pork which toned again telling me both butts had reached the desired finishing temp. (Note: I swapped the pork half way through to maintain an even temp.) I love the fact that if I forget my phone inside when checking on the meat, I can always check the booster case for the internal temps. On an open grill the units advertises up to 500 ft. of connection. But this drops considerably on a grill or smoker when the case is closed. Just make sure to use the booster close by the cooker for added distance. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like the babysit meat and wonders if the food has been fully cooked. I love my set.

the good: * Dual Temperature Probes - One of the standout features of the Thermopro Twin TempSpike is its dual temperature probes, allowing you to monitor the temperature of two separate dishes simultaneously. This is especially handy for multitasking cooks who need to keep an eye on different meats or dishes cooking at the same time. * Wireless Connectivity - With wireless connectivity, this thermometer provides the freedom to monitor your cooking from a distance, though you are still attached to a relatively short bluetooth range. The receiver unit offers good range for the connection type, and the case acts as a booster (bluetooth signal is greatly reduced say, when in a metal smoker with the lid closed). * Accuracy and Precision -The Thermopro Twin TempSpike delivers reliable and accurate temperature readings, helping you achieve perfectly cooked meats and dishes with confidence. The probes are responsive and provide real-time updates, allowing you to make adjustments as needed to avoid overcooking or undercooking. * User-Friendly Design - The thermometer features a user-friendly design with intuitive controls and a clear display on both the transmitter and receiver units. Setup is straightforward, and the interface is easy to navigate, making it accessible for both seasoned chefs and beginners. the bad: * Build Quality - While functional, the build quality of the Thermopro Twin TempSpike could be more robust. The plastic construction feels a bit lightweight, and the probes may not withstand heavy-duty use over an extended period. * Battery Life: -The battery life of the thermometer could be improved, especially for users who rely on it for long cooking sessions or frequent use. It may not sound like a big deal, but if you’re smoking something overnight, you want to make sure you have enough battery, and of course they’re rechargeable, so it’s not like you can just swap the batteries out. * Limited Connectivity Features - Bluetooth only, no wifi. The bluetooth does work reasonably well, and this may not be a huge issue for some, but for others, being able to monitor a temp from a longer distance (say, smoking a brisket while you take a quick trip to the store, for example) is super convenient. * Mobile App - The mobile app is functional, if not super configurable. For example, in order to set an alert temperature, you must actually save a new temp to your profile, instead of just adjusting to a number and changing when necessary. In my use case, I wanted an alert for some brisket at 180 degrees, but then another alert at 200 degrees. This means I now have 2 alerts saved in my profile, one for “wrap brisket” and one for “brisket done”. Clunky in my opinion. overall: The Thermopro Twin TempSpike is a solid 4/5 stars for its reliable performance, dual temperature probes, and user-friendly design. It does have some minor drawbacks, but its accuracy and convenience still make it a valuable tool.

I really wanted to be impressed with this, but temperature inaccuracies are a concern. The basics: The TempSpike is a wireless internal temp probe device with 2 spikes for either 2 items being cooked or placement in 2 locations in a larger cut of meat. The device operates off longer-range Bluetooth 5.2, paired with your phone, and claims an “up to” 500 feet range, which I found substantially less. Starting with the basics, it charges using an included (very short) USB-C, charging the base (“Booster”) then charges the spikes. Each spike is color-coded (white and black), and can be set individually to different temperatures, for example if you wanted 1 steak medium rare and another medium well, to ensure different cooking times, or used in the same cut, for example the flat and the point of a brisket. The package also comes with a wire brush for cleaning the probes. As for the biggest point – temperature accuracy. I found both probes to be 8-10° off (low) internally during cooks with steaks and pork butt. I tested along the entire length of the probe with 3 different “instant read” thermometers – one of which is from ThermoPro itself – and were consistently low. That creates a major issue in that if you’re looking for a steak at a certain temp, say medium rare (130-135°), if it’s actually 140° when you take it off thinking it’s 130°, you’re already overcooked. The external “ambient” temps also varied greatly, but chalk that up to my smoker and where the probes were. But seeing that INTERNAL is the most important number, being off by 10° makes a huge difference. The base pairs with ThermoPro’s app, allowing you to control the probes, see battery levels, etc. The app also has several presets built-in, which are JUNK. For example, a preset for “beef, medium rare, 140°”. Medium rare is 130-135°, and you usually want to pull a steak at 125° and rest it, where it will continue to cook up to the desired temp. By choosing the preset at 140°, by the time it alarms & you pull it, you’re at 140°, will likely cook up to 145-150°, which puts you close to medium well. Nothing like ruining a steak when using a $120 thermometer. If you use this, you absolutely MUST create your own presets (you cannot change their built-in ones) so you don’t overcook the meat. (Note, there is a “temp pre-alarm” setting in the app where you can set it to alarm in 5° increments before the meat is done, but this is “off” by default and takes some digging to find). Also, you cannot set any of the temps from the base, all settings must be controlled through the app, so you’re forced to use it, like it or not. On 2 steaks I was cooking, one probe “locked up” in reporting its temp, so it sat reporting 116° in the app for several minutes while the other one was saying it was done. I had to force-close the app, restart it, and it immediately alarmed that it was at 134°. So had I not been watching, and relied on an alarm that was never going to come, I would have had a piece of charcoal to serve. When I looked at the base & the displayed temp, it was correct, so it was something with the app (note I left my phone next to the base the whole time, so it wasn’t a Bluetooth range drop out that caused it). Seeing this was on my 1st cook with the thing, it didn’t give me a lot of confidence. As for Bluetooth reach, I found the 500 foot claim to be substantially off. On my multi-hour pork cook, I often had disconnects just walking inside while the smoker was on the front driveway, not far from the house. The distance is obviously limited by any obstructions like bricks on a house or metal, so having it drop out just walking into the kitchen was disappointing. The spikes are also fairly large in diameter, so you’ll be limited to using this on very thick steaks (at least 1.5”) or large cuts like a brisket or pork butt. This isn’t something you can throw in a standard chicken breast or use with ribs, thinner steaks, etc. So this will not replace an instant read (and frankly, with the temp variation, I’d still recommend an instant read as a cross-check). You also have to insert the spike over 2.5” into the meat to avoid damaging the probes, so again, won’t work on smaller/thinner meats. Battery life for the probes was fine. Both lasted a full 10+ hour cook on pork with battery life to spare, so likely would even work for a 15+ hour brisket. In summary, the temp variation with the probes makes this an unreliable device for me. Will I use it with custom presets set lower than expected temps, then obsessively probe with an instant read as it’s approaching the desired temp? Sure. But something sold for the explicit purpose of telling me a temperature should be a lot more accurate out of the box without having to “hack the temps” to ensure I don’t overcook. And hey, ThermoPro, maybe have someone programming your presets who actually knows what the corresponding internal temps actually should be (or let us change the presets so we don’t have to have a ton of custom presets, resulting in 3 pages of presets to scroll through).

Thermopro twin tempspike, I was not very impressed with this set of temperature probes. The application is very basic, it gives you a temperature reading for each probe and an ambient temperature reading for each probe. It allows you to set a target temperature for each probe.Which if youre cooking two separate items or cooking a large piece of meat it allows you to set and monitor multiple different areas. It has a nice storage case that is rechargeable and has a separate lcd screen that shows temperature of each probe. There were a few things i noticed while using these that I did not like. The app is very basic like I stated above. There is not a physical off button or way to disconnect from the probes while theyre not in use. So they will randomly connect while not in use. The temperature probe seemed to be accurate for internal temp but the ambient temperature readin g seemed to be off by alot. I had the oven set at 380* and the ambient temp reading on the probe set was reading 268*. The twin tempspike is definitely a well made product the probes are stainless and have a nice finish, the case is rechargeable and charges the probes while theyre being stored.

I’ve had many grill thermometers over the years, and all have been problematic. Typically, they’re fragile and physically break or stop functioning, they either don’t have any remote monitoring capability, or the remote monitoring suffers from short range and/or the remote monitoring device is difficult to pair and keep paired. In short, I haven’t found an ideal solution. I’m optimistic that the ThermoPro TempSpike solves many of these problems. My first impression was surprise in terms of the quality of the probes (2 are included). They’re well designed and durable. Time will tell if they last, but compared to other probes the quality is significantly higher. A promising factor is that there’s no wire to break (which I’ve experienced multiple times in the past with other thermometers). The probe is self-contained and communicates via Bluetooth to an included booster, which in turn communicates via Bluetooth to an Apple or Android device. Additionally, the design is elegant in terms of the booster also serving as the storage location for the 2 temperature probes. So, for storage everything (including a USB cable for recharging) is in a single enclosure… it’s sort of analogous to modern earphones and their charging case. Initial setup was easy. The instruction pamphlet includes a QR code that routed me to the (in my case iPhone) app which I installed and in turn, it immediately found and synced with the booster and probes via Bluetooth. The app itself is nicely laid out with an intuitive interface that enables various configurations, but most importantly simple settings for the type of food to be cooked/monitored and associated notifications. When cooking, a nice feature is that each probe monitors both the food temperature AND the ambient grill/smoker/oven temperature. My other thermometers all require 2 separate probes, one for food and another for the “oven”. While cooking the phone app stays up to date with the temperature information, and the done temperature notification works as expected. Additionally, you can monitor both food and ambient temperatures from the screen on the booster. Critically, the range is great. I’ve gotten more than 200 feet (including walls) from the booster with no issues. Another impressive feature is the estimated time left to cook function displayed in the app. I’ve found this to be reasonably accurate, and helpful in terms of knowing when to time other parts of the meal. The only shortcoming I’ve found so far is that the TempSpike can sync with only one phone/device at a time. It would be great if my wife’s phone could monitor simultaneously. Also, time will tell if the TempSpike lasts, but the 1-year warranty (which is extended to 3-years when you register the device) and the probe quality are positive indicators! I absolutely recommend the TempSpike to everyone 😊.

I've been grilling for over 40 years and have used a variety of methods to ensure the meats that I grill come up to the proper temperature. Most recently, I've used a quick temp probe which gives me a decent gage of how the meat is doing, but it has limitations. I have seen a lot of information about the next generation of temperature probes with wireless technology so I tried the ThermoPro Twin TempSpike. I've already grilled several items with it and I'm fascinated at how you can monitor what is going on as the meat comes up to the right temp. I find by having two temp spikes that I'm able to monitor two different sizes of meat. If I'm cooking four steaks on the grill, you rarely have all of the steaks be a uniform size. Having two probes allows me to put one probe in a larger cut of meat and another probe in the smaller cut. This helps me keep from overcooking the smaller cuts of meat. Setup of the temp spikes was very easy. They paired right away with the base station as well as the app. The app could be a bit more intuitive when it comes to customizing a temp or finding the right "doneness" temp for each type of beef, pork or chicken. Other than that, I was able to navigate my way around the app after a few tries. Grilling technology has come a long way. The TermoPro makes it a lot easier to grill these days - especially with the price of fine cuts of meat.

I have used the ThermaPro Twin TempSpike meat thermometer and have been quite pleased with it. The packaging was adequate, ensuring the thermometer arrived in good condition. Setting up and using the device was straightforward and intuitive, including the charging process, which uses a USB charging cable. The thermometer probe begins reading temperatures immediately upon being removed from its base, a feature I found very convenient. Additionally, the built-in magnets, which allow the device to stick to the cooking equipment, were particularly helpful during use. The thermometer can be monitored with an app on your phone, and doing so allows you to keep track of the temperature without having to be at the oven/grill. This is great for slow-cooking meats as you don’t have to keep going back to the kitchen to check on it. I found this to be very convenient.. Overall, I think that most anyone who regularly uses a meat thermometer would find the ThermaPro Twin TempSpike thermometer a practical and easy-to-use addition to their kitchen.
