Stuff We Want: MEATER Plus, Because Opening the Oven Every 10 Minutes Is Not a Cooking Technique
A fully wire-free meat thermometer that rides inside the turkey and sends updates to your phone, so you can finally sit down for one episode of the parade.

Let's talk about your Thanksgiving system. You open the oven. You stare at the turkey. The turkey stares back. You close the oven. Ten minutes later you do it again, letting all the heat out, while someone in the living room yells "is it done yet?" like you're running a drive-thru.
The MEATER Plus ends that whole routine. It's a 100% wire-free meat thermometer: one slim stainless steel probe goes into the meat, and that's it. No cable pinched in the oven door. No dangling wire. Just a little metal stick quietly doing the job you've been faking for years.
The probe has dual temperature sensors. One tracks the internal temp of the meat (up to 212°F) and the other tracks the ambient temp around it (up to 527°F) at the same time. The readings show up in the MEATER app, so the turkey basically texts you.
The "Plus" part is the charger. It's a bamboo block with a built-in Bluetooth repeater that extends the range (the listing says 165 ft), so you can follow the cook from the couch, the backyard or the hallway where you're hiding from your cousin's crypto talk.
The app's Guided Cook System gives step-by-step instructions, real-time updates and estimated finish times. Translation: you get a countdown instead of a guess, and you get to announce dinner with the confidence of someone who planned this.
It works on the grill and in the oven, for steak, chicken, roasts and the big bird. A 5-minute charge gets you 2 hours of cook time, which is good news for the person who remembers to charge things exactly five minutes before guests arrive. In the box: one probe, the bamboo charger and one AAA battery.
Who it's for
- First-time Thanksgiving hosts who just got handed the turkey and the pressure that comes with it.
- Grill people who want to leave the smoker alone for once.
- Christmas gift hunters shopping for the person who already owns every tong and apron.
Who should skip it
- You don't cook meat. It's a meat thermometer. It will not help your tofu feel seen.
- You hate apps. The whole experience lives on your phone, so this one's not for the flip-phone crowd.

The verdict
The verdict: hand-picked because it turns "is it done yet?" into a message on your phone. Send it to whoever is hosting this year. They'll thank you right after they stop opening the oven.
