A must-have high-tech gear for cooking
Size: 2 Probes, Size: 2 Probes
I've been looking at wireless thermometers for while but was unsure about which brand to choose. Then I saw someone on YouTube use the Sync to cook a Christmas turkey and decided to give it a shot. The youtuber didn't just cook the entire turkey as a whole. Instead he cut it into different parts, and cooked them simultaneously at two different durations for optimal results. This was ingenious as dual probes can be extremely helpful for certain foods that require different doneness, and this thermometer monitors both the internal temperature of the food and the ambient temperature.
Fast forward two weeks in, and I'm in love with this thermometer. Even though I have an instant food thermometer, I still find myself using the Sync more because you can leave the probe in to get readings instead of having to manually stick the probes in like you would with a traditional food thermometer. As an experienced chef, even though most foods look cooked on the outside, you can never really judge their internal doneness without a thermometer.
1. Highly accurate: Each probe has 5 sensors for multi-zone temperature readings ensuring the lowest point of the internal temperature is displayed with accuracy down to the decimal. I cowitnessed the readings with a high-end instant-read thermometer, and all the readings were consistent with each other. It also comes with an external ambient temperature sensor which is important because, ambient temps may vary in different parts of the oven/smoker/grill. I cowitnessed the ambients temps as well and they were also consistent.
2. Easy to connect: It can easily connect to my phone via wifi or Bluetooth. Once set up, it's super easy to use every time.
3. Stable connection: The wifi or Bluetooth connection is very stable. I've used Sync in a smoker for several cooks now, and even when it was wrapped in foil with a the lid of the smoker on, it never lost connection. There were no complex syncing issues or signal losses.
4. You can monitor the cooking progress from anywhere in your home where you can take your phone or tablet. You don't have to stay in the kitchen.
5. You can set preferences for various alerts via the app.
6. The built-in cooking time estimator is great when you're in charge of larger meals or just want to know when to lower the heat. The app will tell you when the food is done and allow a rest period for the temperature to rise. For example, if you want a medium steak and set the temperature to 135℉, the app will tell you the steak is done when it reaches 130℉ and to allow a 3-5 minute rest period for the temperature to rise to 135℉. This means you can cook proteins perfectly every time.
7. It has a large base screen that's easy to read.
8. Charging is very convenient. Just plug in the charging cable to charge the base, and stick the probes into the base to charge the probes.
9. You can select a preset in the app modify it according to your preferences.
10. Customer service. Initially, when my Sync was not charging, I contacted customer service. To my surprise, they responded quickly and offered to replace the device for free if it was defective. I was very impressed with their quick response and friendly attitude.
11. The 3-year warranty is a nice bonus.
Hopefully this review has been helpful. I'll update this review if my views change or I find more ways to use it. If you're concerned about the price being higher than entry-level products, then you probably haven't taken the time to read this.
