Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE below: Original review - I have longed to try one of these of many different brands. After research and reading dozens and dozens of reviews, I landed on the Meater Plus. I opened it up and found it to be in a beautiful wooden box which is actually it's charging station. Comes with a AA battery for charging. I downloaded the app. I am 60 - so not a tech wizard. I was able to sync with app very easily. It did take a few minutes (maybe updating as well). I just used it to cook a beef roast and it worked perfectly. One thing I would note - I was going for a medium rare - and "upped" the suggested temp of 135 to 140 because I was nervous... the Meater Plus counts the resting time in the finished temp! So, I ended up with a little to the medium than to the medium rare. I am going to trust the Meater Plus next time. It notifies you of when to take your food out and then reminds you when the resting is done. You can follow the progress on the app on your phone. Has a lovely dial that shows where you are in the cooking progress. I am very, very impressed. I love it. I am eager to try it in my all natural turkey for thanksgiving! It's just a real handy tool with a modern twist. It's a little bit of an investment, but I think it's worth it. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. UPDATED review 4/1/2021.... The more I use this thermometer the more I love it. I have learned to "trust" the resting time - I have read other reviews that report overcooked food and I wonder if they might not be trusting the process. However, could also be faulty items. I am grateful that my thermometer has worked perfectly each time and I could not be happier. It has taken so much stress out of my cooking life. I won't roast without it. Or cook a thick steak without it. Pretty much anything you need temp on. I am not compensated in ANY way for my reviews and I am sharing my honest experience and opinions. UPDATE 2022; Therms will NOT stay connected to device. NO tech support. Takes WEEKS to get a reply via email and then it is truly worthless. I am so disappointed because they (I have two pluses and a block) for about 4 or 5 months and then just will NOT stay linked. SUPER frustrating both in lack of support they 'say' is there and then that they lasted just a few months. NOT a cheap lesson either. I invested over $450.00 at this point. I will sadly say I can no longer recommend these in any way.
