Ninja - ProChef Wireless Thermometer Indoor & Outdoor, 700◦F, extended battery life, long range connection, waterproof - Black/Silver

The Ninja Pro Thermometer came well packaged with easy instructions and setup. You have to insert the battery and let it charge before first use. I did not like how you had to open the battery slot - using a coin or butter knife - would be better to have something easier without grabbing a tool. The software was easy to download and register and synced with the thermometer without any issues. I found it very inconvenient to insert the thermometer horizontally into the meat beyond the insert line on the thermometer. It works fine on a roast or large cuts of meat (over 1.5") which is basically a big steak or fat chicken breast, but not practical for burgers, chops, meatloaf, or smaller beef cuts. That being said, when cooking a steak, the app was easy to use and helpful. You select the cut of meat and desired wellness or you can manually monitor the temperature. It said could not estimate the cooking time on the steak, despite trying to insert the thermometer four different times. It does tell you when to flip the meat and it did a good job (accurate) of cooking the meat to the desired temp/wellness. I cooked the steak to medium rare at 140 degrees, and after resting, the result was perfect (it also tells you when to take off the heat source to rest). The thermometer is obviously very hot to the touch after using, so you have to remove with an oven mitt and let cool down for at least 20 minutes before washing. Overall, the thermometer worked extremely well for it's intended purpose, however, I found it inconvenient to insert and wash, so will probably use my regular digital thermometer (that does not stay in the food) for most cooking.

The Ninja ProChef Wireless Thermometer is, for me, a game-changer. No more cables which look more grungy as time goes on. With its sleek design and user-friendly app, it's a convenient addition to any kitchen. The thermometer features a long-range Bluetooth connection, allowing you to monitor your food's temperature from a distance. This is particularly useful when grilling or smoking, as you can stay comfortable indoors while your food cooks. One of the standout features of the Ninja ProChef is its user-friendly app. The app provides real-time temperature readings, allowing you to monitor your cooking process from a distance. Additionally, the app offers pre-set temperature guidelines for various meats, ensuring that your food is cooked to perfection. The app also includes a timer function, which is particularly helpful for long cooking times. The thermometer itself is durable and easy to clean (wait until it has cooled down). The probe is made of stainless steel and can withstand temperatures up to 700°F, making it suitable for a wide range of cooking applications. (Worried about flareups on the outdoor BBQ? Don’t. The Ninja isn’t bothered by those wild flames.) The battery life is also impressive, allowing you to use the thermometer for extended periods without needing to recharge. What would I change? The charging base requires one AAA battery (included), but offers no alternative charging method…like USB-C. Hopefully, as time goes on, that little battery won’t go on the blink at an inconvenient time. Anyway, this is the reason for 4, instead of 5, stars. Overall, the Ninja ProChef Wireless Thermometer is a reliable and convenient tool that can help you achieve safe, restaurant-quality results at home. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this thermometer is a valuable addition to your kitchen arsenal…you chef, you!

The Ninja - ProChef Wireless Thermometer takes only minutes to configure out-of-the-box. Inserting the battery into the base and installing the mobile app is pretty much it. Letting the thermometer probe stay cradled for a good 30 minutes in the base, while you focus on the app and get your oven or grille ready, is recommended. (the first time) There's not much to complain about with respect to the app. If comes configured with all the various & common food stuffs you'd want to be monitoring the temperature of and the general layout of the app is clean, organized and easy to read. We demo'd the Ninja - ProChef Wireless Thermometer with a few different sizes/cuts of sirloin and it performed well enough to produce appealing results. The app prompted when to flip the steak and maintained a continual cooking timer from "flip", to "done" and all the way through to "rest". What I found perplexing was the vast difference between our Weber's built in mechanical thermometer and the Ninja's reported ambient temperature. Our Spirit II is only a few years old. But I didn't let that distract me. What also had me scratching my head was the speed at which the app prompted me to expect the steak being monitored to actually be done. On a 1 lb sirloin the overall cook time should have been approx 4 minutes per side (from experience) and it ended up being much shorter than that even though the "canned"/programmed temperature of 130 'F was never reached. On my first attempt at using the Ninja - ProChef Thermometer with much smaller "cuts", the guidance seemed to make more sense - but on a this 2nd, larger steak grilling attempt, the app had alerted me to removing the protein and to let them rest with the internal temperature having barely eclipsed 120 'F. Seeing that, I proceeded to let the steaks continue cooking on the grille for additional 2 minutes - waiting until I saw the temperature reach approx. 128 'F before removing them from the grille. The steaks came out perfectly pink in the center like Medium Rare should be. So, I'm not entirely confident in how the app coordinates the entire process vs. the temperature points. My take away from this is that this Ninja - ProChef Wireless Thermometer is perfect for anyone wanting an accurate meat thermometer with an app used strictly for temperature monitoring ... and to sort of ignore the timer clock or work with it cautiously & in an adaptive way. We'll need to test this thermometer out with much larger cuts of meat, like a larger roast and see how it works vs. our Profile high-end kitchen oven & probe and also try other types of protein in the app to fully adapt to using this thing across the board. But for the time being, one should use this thermometer in a hybrid fashion for a while in the beginning, applying your own preferences & better judgement to get the cooking results ultimately want. In other words; use it to monitor how you normally cook stuff 'by eye and wrist watch', whatever, and compared that to what the Ninja is saying. Other notable facets of the Ninja - ProChef Wireless Thermometer: Solid build quality Easy to clean The base/transmitter needs to be in close proximity to the thermometer in actual use Firmware updates, if any, are available & managed by the mobile app Keep in mind that for slabs of protein, you need to skewer through the side to allow for flipping on a grille and keeping the thermometer probe centered & at a proper depth is key (guide line on probe) In summary, the Ninja - ProChef Wireless Thermometer is a handy piece of tech that I can recommend - if you know what you getting into. I expected it to be more temperature driven vs. time driven but perhaps that's a wrong expectation... I do know that if I had followed the time-based prompting to remove these 1 lb sirloins from the grille & ignored the real-time temperature, they would have been under-cooked at the center.

The Ninja ProChef Wireless Thermometer is a game-changer for both indoor and outdoor cooking! Its incredible temperature range of up to 700°F ensures that my dishes are cooked to perfection every time. The extended battery life means I can rely on it for hours of uninterrupted use, while the long-range connection allows me to monitor my food from a distance without any hassle. Plus, it's waterproof, making it perfect for any cooking environment. The sleek black and silver design adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen. Overall, an excellent product that delivers consistent, reliable performance!

This is my second wireless thermometer and the first Ninja brand. There are a lot of positives with this item- It is battery operated but the life seems to be decent. I have used several times and the power is fine. I do wish it was rechargeable vs. battery- the only real downside so far. It is thick and a bit hard to push into a steak. You need to be sure it is in up to the line for accurate readings. The line is helpful. My other model does not have a line to tell you how far to put it in. The app gives you all the information you need for perfect food. It tells you the current time and if it's something like a steak- even when to flip and rest. I always had trouble cooking steak. They were either over or under done. Never "just right". Since using a wireless thermometer to track the internal temp, I have never had that issue. I have used it to check the internal temperature of things like a casserole to be sure it was heated enough inside. The uses are endless. The range is very good (better than my other brand). I can take my phone to my room while my food is cooking and never burn anything. If you are a new cook, or even an experienced one, a wireless thermometer like this will improve your game. Only reason it did not get 5 stars is the use of a battery vs. rechargeable.

I’m pretty excited about the Ninja ProChef thermometer as it couldn’t have come at a better time. This compact thermometer is a huge kitchen solution I think everyone should have, especially if you’re constantly short on time or fairly distracted when it comes to cooking. So needless to say, I definitely like this device. The device is very straightforward and only includes a base, the thermometer, and a battery. Of course there’s an app to download which is very easy to navigate and understand. Setup through the app was a breeze, simply taking me step-by-step through installing the battery, cleaning instructions, and how to insert the devise into the food to be cooked. After a 2-minute setup/registration process, I was ready to go! The first piece of meat I tried (beef) was ready for testing. I was eager to find out just how accurate the ProChef will be, especially since I can easily overcook meat. With a 2” cut of beef, I inserted the thermometer, set my oven and my cooking temp preference on the app, and placed the beef in my oven. To my surprise, the alerts were very quick, immediately showing each degree difference in temperature as the meat began to heat up. What I really like is the fact that the app alerted me that my food was done, though my oven timer was still going. NO MORE OVERCOOKED MEAT, yaaay! Oh, one last note, the base must remain close to your cooking source to maintain the signal from the thermometer, definitely understandable. Cleanup is simple, just use a cloth with warm soapy water to clean, no dishwashing as this is stated everywhere in the instructions. Also, you have to keep in mind the thermometer is hot so use mits when removing from your food. Hands down I give this 5 stars with literally no negative points!

I am glad that Ninja has joined the wireless thermometer game and put out this thermometer that pairs so well with their outstanding app. I have wanted to add one of these to my cooking and grilling arsenal for a while now and I am glad that I finally get to! The build quality of the thermometer and charge case is awesome. It is more of an industrial kitchen look than the wood cases of the main competition wireless thermometers, but I think it looks good and is built to last. I wish that the wireless case was USB rechargeable and that it had a built-in hook for hanging the case from the grill, my crockpot, etc. since the case (as with other wireless thermometers) has to be within 5 feet of the actual thermometer to get the readings that can then transmit via Bluetooth to your phone app. The thermometer itself is great to use and what I would hope for at this price. It went inserted perfectly into my chuck pot roast and allowed me to get the temperature up to and sustained in the range of what I wanted to get the perfect, melt-in-your mouth pot roast. I have a really unreliable crockpot at this time, and it was great to be able to keep track of when the ambient temperature was getting too hot inside the crockpot and to adjust the crockpot accordingly. The only downside I am noticing with the thermometer and case combination is that it seems like the thermometer and case have a hard time staying connected when the thermometer is inside my crockpot. I was about to go nuts with the amount of disconnection alerts I was getting on my phone from the thermometer. I ended up having to balance the case on the class lid just to maintain a reliable connection that didn’t drop out every two minutes. Gratefully, I know that Ninja stands behind their products and I am certain they are going to release a firmware update eventually that will probably help address finicky issues like this. Altogether, I will give this thermometer 5 out of 5 stars. It helps to safely and accurately cook my food and is altogether built into a great package made and sold by a most excellent company. Thanks for reading and I hope that my review helps encourage your purchasing decision!

A few years ago I purchased a wireless thermometer. I used it 3 times and it has been in a drawer since that final effort. But I’m a tech freak and I also cook more frequently these days. Plus, time has passed and I was hoping the technology had improved. I was correct. The Ninja ProChef Wireless Thermometer is a pleasure to use- indoors and outdoors. Set-up is easy thanks to both an insert in the box and a step-by-step app. Once set-up, I decided to cook a roast pork loin. The app once again takes you step-by-step. It shows whether you’re Bluetooth connected or not (you must be) and your thermometer battery status (it’s charged by the changeable battery in the communicating base. Choose your food- animal, fish or plant-based, part (cut) of said incendiary, and desired doneness. If you have a specific temperature target, that is an option. Insert the Ninja thermometer, touch “start monitoring” and get to cookin’. The app constantly updates both the internal and ambient temperatures as well as calculating remaining cooking time. Here’s what I thought to be really cool-it will alert you when it’s ALMOST time to remove food from the heat source and allow it to rest..and then provides a countdown. I was untrusting when it told me to remove the pork at 140 degrees, but then watched the temperature ascend to exactly the target. My only gripe, a very small one , is I wish the battery in the base was rechargeable.

I do love grilling. One thing I’ve waiting on purchasing was a wireless thermometer (I have the instant read type currently) but the thought of another wireless gadget was too tempting. Enter in the Ninja ProChef Wireless Thermometer! Promising a more reliable range, a 700 degrees F max heat resistance and a 30 hour battery life – this device could save your meat cookin’ reputation! The thermometer itself is small (maybe 6” long) yet thick (almost ¼”) and needs to be inserted about 3 inches into the target ingredient. That’s a bit difficult for hamburgers or even chicken breast – so seemingly most useful on larger cuts of meat. I was a bit surprised the base requires and came with 1 AAA battery. I would have thought all small devices would just be rechargeable via a USB connection. Maybe they’re saving it for a future version, but it’s the reason for 4 stars vs 5 stars for now. The cool part of this thermometer is the Ninja ProConnect app. It’s got presets for a variety of meats and a manual setting for you custom cooks. Get real-time dual-temp updates (ambient air and meat temp) right on your phone! Overall – very happy with my use thus far of this wireless thermometer. The range and temperature seems good and accurate and my food was done perfectly for once!
