Precision cooking, minimal effort
This tech is amazing! Paid a little extra for multiple probes for more versatility and itâs worth every penny. The app is awesome, the speaker announcements make sure someone helping me knows exactly what to do. The recipes are great! Iâve used in pellet grill, oven, air fryer with no issues. Sure as heck beats taking food off heat to measure temps, heck the app even integrates food rest periods.

Precision At Hand
1. Amazing tech, works well and accurate. Used it to cook new york strips medium and it worked perfectly. From the step by step with video on operating to it alerting me to flip and when to remove from grill / place in oven to rest. Also did potatoes baked and it says 208° itâs gonna reach that temperature. Everything came out great steak juicy and delicious with baked potato soft and fluffy.2. Cleanup with an ease, literally wash sanitizer and air dry, waterproof for sure. But I wouldnât submerge them.3. Use of app was outstanding, itâs readable and very well designed. Provided timer helps estimate the speed, cooking potential depends upon the person however this is an amazing addition to my cooking experience and kitchen.4. Plan to buy more if you host large meals and everyone has different steak temperatures, large vegetables or other mix and match meal ideas the operation of them and precise timing allows for everyone to join in cooking.5. Great gift for the home chef cook pitmaster or grilled

foolproof
Used this two nights this week – once for venison on the grill and the other for a prime rib roast in the oven. The thermometer worked just as described. Easy to use and the app takes you step by step. This was is a game changer for foolproof meals where temperature can make or break your dinner. It is great to find a product that delivers as promised! You will not regret it.

Wonderfully packaged with lots of bells and whistles but..
I looked forward to using this high tech, state of the art wireless thermometer by Chef IQ. It came in a huge package and offered all the features I was looking for. It is both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity that worked flawlessly in my experience. The thermometer is rated IP67, dual temperature sensors and has a fancy base with voice announcement features with space for 2 additional probes. The android app comes with recipe guides helping you along and flexible enough to use your own special cooking style if you chose to do so. The main app screen is busy with junk that does not add value but others may find it useful… not.In my first use, I ran a parallel type setup with 3 probes. Even though everything about this Chef IQ thermometer is slick, I needed to make sure that the temperatures that it was spitting out was valid. In the beginning, all 3 thermometers were within 2° F of each other. Ambient temperature was off by 30-35° F compare with a separate oven thermometer on rack. As the temperature rose on my roast, there was a growing gap when approaching 100 deg F where the Chef IQ reported 4-5° F value lower than my other probes. At 120°F, this probe reported 8 to 10° F lower that the other probes with the app recommending additional cooking time. I decide to go with the other probes temperature reports and pull out my roast. Using a Thermopen thermometer (NIST calibrated 11/2022), the actual temperature was off on my other probes by 5° F and the Chef IQ was off by as much as 15° F. If I were to follow the Chef IQ app blindly, the roast would be well overcooked.Everything about this Chef IQ temperature screams quality but without reporting accurate temperatures, it has no value in my kitchen. I am not a professional chef so I need all the help I can get. If by chance, this probe was defective then the company lacks the quality controls needed to provide the end consumer a quality product. I thought I was the only one to suffer the grossly inaccurate temperature readings but alas I am not. You can take your chances with all the flashing bling bling lights with promises of glory but remember that the Amazon return window is only 30 days. This Chef IQ Smart Temperature Probe is a piece of junk. Not recommended.Update – Silly me. I really wanted this probe to work so i ordered a replacement unit. Same accuracy issues, however, this time, the temperatures were reported on the high side. I filed a support ticket but the Chef IQ customer support ended up being a waste of time. They failed to provide any solutions. They actually disappeared and never responded after asking all kinds of questions. I’m now 100% convinced this product is flawed. 2 out of 2 is a failure rate of 100%. You may want to check your own thermometers with a simple ice water bath. Your internal probe should be around 32°F. Or a boiling water test where your temps should report close to 212°F depending on altitude.Update 2 – Jan 2023Geez… I must be a glutton for punishment. Over half a dozen emails encompassing well over a week with the Chef IQ customer service group, a few different reps, they are unable to resolve this issue and will refer it to another tech. Despite informing them of the simple ice water testing where 2 other probes reporting 32° F and the Chef IQ reporting 39° F, they are questioning the validity of the test… Huh? They did inform me that the ambient temperature reporting is working normally when reporting the 35° F difference compare to the separate oven temperature gauge… What? The Chef IQ customer service group is really bad and I hope nobody else will ever have to experience this type of support. Final advice… Please check the accuracy of your probes if you decide to buy this product. Good luck!

Good value, easy to use, great results. App could be better.
Bought this after receiving a Sous Vide cookbook last year, and I like it. Unfortunately, the app does not include sous vide as an option (it has several others), so the otherwise handy “time remaining to cook” feature doesn’t help much. Each probe must be individually set up, there’s no option to set them all the same. Minor. The hub does have some connectivity issues with the probes, but in fairness, bluetooth isn’t designed to work through metal.Important note: this is a food thermometer, NOT an oven thermometer. It relies on the meat to act as a radiator to keep the internals cool, even though part of it sticks out and measures the ambient temperature. If you try to check your oven temperature accuracy without sticking it in food, though, the hub will warn you that the probe is overheating. Ignore that warning and you’ll be buying a replacement probe. Which I am about to do, so I guess I would recommend the product!

Love it a lot.
The CHEF iQ Sense is a game-changer! The 3 ultra-thin probes are precise, and the wireless feature lets me monitor cooking via the app effortlessly. The guided cooking and real-time updates ensure perfect results every time. Itâs easy to clean, has great battery life, and feels well-built. A must-have for any cooking enthusiast!

Outsanding product and customer service
This is hands down the best wireless thermometer available on Amazon right now. The thin probes make it easy to insert into any type of meat, and the Wi-Fi capability lets you monitor temperatures from anywhere. These thermometers have completely transformed the way I cook and are now an essential part of my kitchen tools.Six months after purchasing, my hub suddenly stopped working and wouldnât respond. I reached out to customer service, provided the requested details, and they shipped me a replacement hub at no cost. Iâm truly impressed by their commitment to customer satisfaction and will enthusiastically recommend this product to anyone!

ChefIQ feel Aus is not their market so their app isnât available in the local store. You need to jump through hoops and change the store on your device to install. This triggers cancellation of local subscriptions in the store.Stick to other brands.
