For device: The result is a transmitter and a receiver. Both have a display. On the radio station can read the cooking temperature and the receiver both Grilltemp. and is viewing the current Core Temp. from the meat. Caution: Always switch the small switch on the device, so that the temperature is displayed in Celsius and Fahrenheit not.
In the transmitter 2 probes are inserted (Grilltemp and meat). The probe for the grill temperature is fixed with a clip on the grill, the meat probe plugged directly and centrally as possible in the piece of meat.
It is important for the operator that only the receiver is turned on and then the transmitter. Otherwise not klappts properly.
You can either set the desired core temperature, and a temperature corridor set (eg at least 110 ° max. 130 ° C). If the temperature reaches or exceeds the grill temperature or below, the device suggests a loud alarm clock beeping alarm and one kanns react immediately.
The radio range is very neat, so you should have no problem actually if you do not live in a bunker or lead on an Australian farm.
So now the reason for the 2 star deduction: The prerequisite is that the device is working. My first Maverick (purchased from another dealer) did 3x what it should. After the probe for the meat temperature was blown has only an error message. Since the manufacturer seems to have saved at the quality of the probe. The problem seems to have been seeking other. I have at least taken the other reviews and forum posts. So I had caught no "Monday device". According to other community contributions should spare probes (corresponding dealer you have quite a chore looking at www) be processed more durable and better. This is a shame for the rather high price.
Conclusion: great and very accurate Grill Funkthermometer as long as it works.
I recommend for the real thing is still an analog oven thermometer, etc. to have in the hind legs, so you can continue grilling still safe after a failure, without ruining the meat.
