Barbecue Thermometer Test

Whether you’re a beginner at the grill or have years of experience cooking perfectly grilled burgers, a thermometer is an important tool to have. With a thermometer, you can cook your meat with precision, ensuring that you and your guests don’t catch foodborne illness. To help you decide which one is right for you, we talked to food experts about the key points to consider when buying a barbecue thermometer.

Is it an instant read thermometer or an inlet thermometer? While an instant read thermometer shows the temperature of your meat almost immediately, an inlet thermometer is inserted into the meat before cooking and remains there throughout the grilling or roasting process. You generally don’t want to wait for the dial to move – especially if heat is escaping from the grill or oven in the process – so an instant-read thermometer is ideal for grilling. Is it easy to read? It’s not a number you want to struggle to read or misread. Think of grilling at dusk, for example. Is it durable? You want an appliance that can withstand the occasional drop or dishwasher cleaning.

As with other cooking methods, grilling and smoking meat requires accuracy, especially when it comes to temperature. Not only will a cordless meat thermometer help you determine the exact temperature you need to cook your meat evenly and thoroughly without drying it out, but this device will also allow you to monitor temperatures remotely so you don’t have to hover over your grill the entire time.

When choosing a meat thermometer, you should also look for probe length, wireless range, temperature range, and other handy features. While simple models will suffice, you may want an app that alerts you or monitors the ambient temperature while you grill. There are devices in different price ranges and designs for every type of grill master.

Types of mobile grill thermometers: Bluetooth, WLAN and radio

  • Barbecue thermometer with radio

Barbecue thermometers with radio

The barbecue thermometers with radio consist of one or more measuring probes or sensors, which are connected to a transmitter. Radio signals are used to transmit data to the mobile receiver, on which the temperature can then be read.

The range determines how far they can move away from the grill. There are inexpensive radio barbecue thermometers with a range of 30 meters to high-quality radio thermometers with many additional features and ranges up to 150 meters. So you can even visit your neighbor while the meat is slowly cooking in your grill.

For the barbecue thermometers with Bluetooth, the device must be within range, otherwise the connection to the smartphone breaks. The barbecue thermometers with WLAN are dependent on the range of your network. However, there are already cloud solutions for this, whereby you have the cooking process always and everywhere in view.

Of course, the barbecue thermometers Bluetooth, WLAN and radio also have a lot of practical gadgets – depending on the respective device. Here are the best features at a glance:
