CHEF iQ 2 Probes

I couldn’t be happier with the CHEF iQ 2 Probes! These are a fantastic addition to my kitchen tools, making cooking more precise and stress-free. The probes are incredibly accurate, giving real-time temperature readings that ensure my dishes come out perfect every time. Whether I’m grilling steaks or slow-cooking a roast, the dual-probe setup allows me to monitor multiple items or track the ambient temperature of my oven or grill simultaneously.The smart connectivity is a standout feature. Pairing the probes with the CHEF iQ app was seamless, and the app itself is user-friendly with plenty of helpful features like cooking guides and alerts. I love that I can monitor my cooking remotely—no more hovering over the stove or grill! The build quality is also impressive; the probes feel sturdy and durable, and the cables are long enough for convenience.Overall, these probes have elevated my cooking game, making it easier to achieve consistent, professional-quality results. If you’re serious about cooking or just want a reliable tool to take the guesswork out of meal prep, I highly recommend the CHEF iQ 2 Probes!

Best thermometer I've bought yet! I love that I can stick these strait in the oven and not have to keep opening the oven to check the temperature. I think its very worth the price. No issues with app. Everything has come out perfectly so far when using this product.

I was on the fence on which wireless prob I should buy considering the top three and I’m glad I bought this one! It has many different setting you can switch to and many features. I bought the one with two probes and used it to smoke the turkey and bake a ham in the oven. I put the home station outside between the smoker and the oven in the house and it worked great! I checked the temperature reading of the Chef IQ against some other instant probes and it was within a few degrees +-. The app for this is great and very easy to use and setup. I highly recommend this product. Oh, and it talks to you too.

I wish there were negative stars. I wish there was a way to express how absolutely awful this product is. And how awful yet somehow smugly self righteous the company behind the product is. Both of my probes were broken (as described below)The geniuses after weeks sent me 1 (one) probe. So. I’ve been down to 1. I simply don’t use it anymore. Stopped thinking about it because of how bad it is. I made the mistake of trying to use it today after months of ignoring it. Fully charged “replacement probe” base station and probe are connected so long as I don’t do something silly like stick the probe in a piece of meat. Then the connection is lost, base station within 1 foot of the probe. No connection. Super helpful. Into the garbage it goes. Avoid it at all costs.This was somehow highly recommended. I opted for it over the Meater because candidly it was cheaper, well reviewed etc. it was a mistake. When it first arrived it was great. Did a quick cook on my grill with it seemed to work well. The interface was clear if a bit too busy (I don’t need recipes from my thermometer thank you). A week later. I used it to reverse sear a 2.5” thick rib steak. It ruined the steak. Temp reading is easily 10-15% off. So I tried again. This time a brisket. Same result. So I sent a note to their customer service. Explaining the issue. Close to a month later I got a reply. To wit. “can you send a pic of it in boiling water along with what the app shows?” Those pics are attached to this review. Same issue with both probes. You’ll note if you look at the pics that the probe has water boiling at 184F, you’ll also note that the “ambient” sensor (a PId on the non meat side of the probe) sitting in the same boiling pot reads 189F… this is of course why my steaks were ruined. I sent the pics to customer service. A few weeks later a new probe arrived, not a replacement unit. One single solitary #1 probe arrived… it is similarly inaccurate. It also throws a huge amount of faults and warnings. Both probes tell me they’re either out of range or over temperature. I was attempting to use them this evening to roast chicken at 375. The probe struggled to connect to the base station 4 feet away and when it connected threw “over temp” warnings the entire time. I eventually just gave up. Complete trash. Backed by slow unhelpful customer service.

I’ve used this to bake chicken and to cook steak. I’ve had 0 issues in with those types of dishes; however, when I tried using this to make a pot roast, it took me a dozen tries to place the probe in a position where it wouldn’t disconnect. The probe kept getting submerged in the cooking liquid and then the charging base would tell me the connection was lost. It was a bit frustrating.Overall, I’m still fairly happy with it. The battery lasted through all the various cook times without issues. I got juicy meat every time. My only annoyance was that it couldn’t handle being submerged in water during cooking. I thought this probe was supposed to also be good for deep frying? If it can’t handle being submerged in water without losing connecting, how can it handle being submerged in oil?

Works great in a smoker, very accurate and helps you monitor where you’re at in the smoking process. You’ll need to ensure that foil is not covering the probes as it dampens the signal and also place the unit closer to your smoker to ensure the signal isn’t lost. The battery did good over a 14 hour cook. Much easier than using wired probes and easy to clean. The App is easy to use and lets you know when it’s close to the target temp and when the cook is finished. I also love the ability to dial in the resting period for brisket or other meats that require a rest period. Well worth the cost!

Works like you'd hope and expect them too. Wifi works well with good signal and is back and forth with weak signal, that's to be expected. Keep hub close to probes and phone will connect to wifi cloud if away.Used may 6 times now. Great results, loud speaker.I use these at work and home. I love them
