Know before you buy
Unlike Bluetooth, which can struggle to penetrate thick metal walls, the Sub-1 GHz frequency provides a much stronger, more reliable signal. This allows the probe to maintain a connection through heavy-duty smokers, cast-iron ovens, and commercial equipment from up to 1,500 feet away.
Yes. Because the RFX MEAT is fully waterproof and submersible with an IP69K rating, it is perfectly safe to use in liquids, including deep fryers and pressure cookers.
The probe features four independently calibrated sensors that monitor different points along the shaft simultaneously. This ensures you get an accurate reading of the coldest part of the meat, preventing you from relying on a single sensor that might be positioned in a pocket of fat or near a bone.
The probe provides over 65 hours of battery life on a full charge. Charging is fast, reaching 80% in just 10 minutes and a full charge in 20 minutes using the included charger, which runs on a single AAA battery.
Yes, the probe is designed to be dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward after a long cook. Its durable construction is built to withstand the rigors of both high-heat environments and standard kitchen cleaning processes.
This certificate confirms that your specific probe has been tested and calibrated against standards maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It guarantees that the temperature readings you see are precise and reliable right out of the box.
