This is a good review. I've been on the fence on whether to buy the Chef IQ vs the Meater 2+ vs the Combustion Inc probes. I think that price and performance wise, the Chef IQ seems like the better buy. BTW, your knife seemed pretty dull; may be time to resharpen.
Tested mine in an ice bath and it measures 36 F while my other thermometer measures 33 F. It should be 32 F I think. I overcooked my first salmon using this. Not sure how accurate it is.
Yep, I knew this was a paid review when he said at the beginning “this neat packaging means this is a cool product”. Disappointing. And who the hell uses these probes to cook burgers? It should have been a filet or something
The Chef IQ probe I received were way off in accuracy as were the replacement. Verify the accuracy of your probe by doing a simple ice water bath. Fill up a glass of ice water and let the mixture settle for a few minutes and then insert your probe in the water. The probe temperature should report 32 deg F. You can also do a boiling water test that should report around 212 deg F depending on elevation.
