Ninja has launched its first ever meat thermometer, aiming to make home chefs a little smarter about cooking meat to perfection

This new gadget could potentially give market-leading meaters a shot in the arm The newly announced Ninja ProChef Wireless Thermometer offers the same app connectivity and real-time data as the Meater +, but at a price that puts it ahead of the competition

If you're like me, and you're worried about whether your meat is properly cooked, you'll want to rely on an accurate gadget This way, you don't have to worry about showing your family and friends undercooked meat, or the aftereffects if it doesn't turn out well!

I have traditionally relied on handheld thermometers to check the internal temperature of meat before serving, but after testing and reviewing the Meater Pro XL, I am convinced of the benefits of smart cooking Not only do such devices provide real-time information on the temperature of the food, but they also give an accurate estimate of the overall cooking time and the required rest time No more calculating the cooking time per pound of meat!

Ninja already has several appliances with built-in thermometers, such as the Ninja Foodi Smart Xl 6-in-1 Indoor Grill ($234 on Amazon), but this new gadget is the perfect addition to your cooking arsenal Used indoors or outdoors with the Air Fryer, you can check the doneness of a roast chicken or the rare, medium, or well-done of a steak on the grill In addition, it produces the most desirable flavors, whether you use direct heat or slow grill smoking over low heat It can also be used with conventional electric or gas ranges if desired

The problem with gadgets is that they all take up space, but the nice thing about Ninja's latest device is that it is small and uncluttered, so it doesn't clutter up the cupboard when not in use The probe fits inside a small metal charging block, similar in size to a cell phone, measuring 607 x 175 x 087 inches However, the case must be kept near the probe during cooking to avoid wire breakage

Similar to the Meater 2, ranked as the best premium product by Best Meat Thermometers Buying Guide, Ninja's version can be connected to an app and has an equally impressive range of features It can sear, broil, sear, high heat, sauté, and grill without the guesswork Plus, with a 30-hour recharge, there's no need to worry about running out of battery power in the middle of the cooking process

And with time at your disposal, you can get on with other tasks outside of the kitchen or relax with your favorite drink, and with the Ninja Pro Connect app, you can follow your cooking progress live

Worried that the stainless steel temperature probe will overheat? It's flame retardant, waterproof, and can withstand up to 700°F, so it's perfectly safe to leave it in the protein throughout the entire process
