Product Information

Hi, I found that the mixture was much too dry for it to work in my Lem stuffer with the casings. I needed to add almost 3 cups of ice cold water to prevent it from blowing out around the gasket and blowing out of the side of the casings due to the small horn required. I used high temp cheddar cheese too, it holds its shape much better. The added water took longer to evaporate, but the results were very good. In addition to convenient temperature range alerts and temperature alarms, the Meater app allows you to visualize the progress of your smoker, oven, or sous-vide set up in a convenient line graph format. This is okay, but I wanted to make sure I was getting accurate readings at the higher temperatures meat is normally cooked to. Step 5) The next day, take the bowl out of the fridge and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form your meat into logs. Step 4) Start forming your meat into logs and prepare out your meat gun. Feed your collagen casing onto the spout. Fill your gun with meat and start to pump it out through the spout. Squeeze out any air and tie the end of the casing. Then slowly fill it all the way, being careful to avoid any air bubbles. Fill the whole casing and tie the other end. Repeat this process for all your meat.

The charger contains a built-in Bluetooth range extender. The extender increases the range between the App and the probe to 100 feet indoors or 260 feet outdoors. You can achieve this range even when you are cooking in a closed setup (i.e., lid on smoker or closed oven).However, using or buying asmoker to cook meat can be a bit of challenge and you have to know how to properly do it.

I could tell because the App sent me a notification when the range was exceeded. I also lost the extender, Bluetooth and battery icons on my phone.

There is no exact answer on how much they will decrease on size but they will shrink probably up to 0.5 inch when compared to uncooked logs. The reduction in size also depends on the meat mixture. If there is more fat-to-meat ratio on the mixture, the logs will actually reduce more in size as the fat melts. Reply I’m using this recipe but replacing the beef with bison. You are calling for teaspoons correct?? Also any suggestions using bison? It uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with an Android or IOS smartphone. These eliminates the need to have WiFi access to use it. Your journey starts with the hardware. The probe gets inserted as shown below into the base unit. 2 AA batteries are required to charge the probe and to utilize the features of the base.

While you are cooking, the App shows you the elapsed and remaining cook times. The remaining time calculator estimates cook time based on ambient and target meat temperatures. This lets you know how long it will take for your meat to reach the target temperature. However, feel free to try the smoker method at the same temperature and cooking time listed below, if you are confident enough on your smoking skills. Different Types With excellent battery life, beautiful app design, and decent wireless range, either of these thermometers will help make your cooking processes more precise and consistent. Well I think that the heat will make the log fall apart without having casings. Or even if it doesn’t fall apart, I think will become kind-of flat surface due to heat, maybe something like a long cookie. The App is one of the best features of this product, and we found the App to be very intuitive, interactive, and user friendly. We have had many “smart” gadgets here at BBQ Grill Academy, and many of those products fail to deliver good and easy to set up apps.You could potentially use these probes for brewing or sous vide cooking, but you'll need a thermometer clip to keep the thermometer from falling into the pot. Setting Alarms and Cooking Presets. It read 92% of the target ambient temperature a half hour into the cook and 98% of of the cook 30 minutes after that. I can confirm that 260 ft is pretty accurate. I was about 3 minutes into my walk before the connection dropped. I connected the probe with the App and X Charger. The X Charger was placed in a cool location under the smoker. One cool feature of the App is its “remaining time” calculator. The App builds a historical graph plotting the cooking progress. It then uses that same pattern to predict when your food will be ready. The feature works great and constantly monitors the temperature rising rate to adjust its estimations.

A for those with those shiny top-of-the-line Napoleon and Balze grills with rotisserie bars, this is for you. What did you do with the thermometer after you shredded the beef for the stew? Are you able to just drop it in the pan and get temp readings while the vegetables are cooking or did you just finish the cooking without the probe? Once your oil exceeds the smoking point, it starts turning into carbon. Adding more oil on top will just create more of the same.In your case, I would recommend to continuously monitor the temperature and if it gets too hot, (there is a high possibility that it will get too hot if the 200° is the lowest setting), you have to remove the meat out of the oven until it cools down a little bit. Let me know if you find these tips helpful. If you have any suggestions I missed, please drop them in the comments below to help your fellow pitmasters. No, it is not as fast as an instant read thermometer. But, these measurements are basically the same as the oven temperature. What I like The app works! There are many good thermometers in the market, but they always fail in the app design. Setting up the App was easy, and the App never crashed or stopped communicating with the Mini.
