Coming soon from ThermoWorks is the RFXTM by ThermoWorks, which, according to the company is “the world’s first meat thermometer duo that stays connected with patent-pending industrial radio frequency technology.” Stay tuned for our complete hands-on review but in the meantime, the official press release states:
No more frustrating signal drops: Unlike unreliable Bluetooth® thermometers, RFX boasts patent-pending industrial radio frequency technology that blasts through walls, ovens, and smokers, delivering a strong and reliable connection throughout your cook.
A connection that goes the distance: RFX MEATTM (wireless probe) and RFX GATEWAYTM (wireless receiver) offer an industry-leading line-of-sight range of up to 2,132 ft, smoking the closest competition. (Our closest competitor’s probe has a line-of-sight range of 250 ft.)
Remote monitoring from anywhere: Connect RFX GATEWAY to Wi-Fi and supervise your culinary masterpieces from any smart device with ThermoWorks App + Cloud. Get real-time temperature updates, high-low alerts, and detailed cooking graphs.
Restaurant-worthy precision: RFX MEAT features four strategically placed and individually calibrated sensors that guarantee you’re reading the true thermal center of any cut.
Built to brave the elements: RFX MEAT is a culinary warrior. It’s fully waterproof and submersible, making it a champion for everything from deep frying to sous vide, pressure cooking, and smoking.
The probe handle withstands a scorching 1,000°F.
Unbeatable battery power: Say goodbye to dying batteries mid-cook. With a 10-minute charge, RFX MEAT delivers up to 52 hours of power, keeping cooks in control from start to finish.
“RFX is a game-changer for anyone that wants to measure food temperatures inside an oven, grill, fryer, or smoker,” says ThermoWorks CEO Randy Owen, noting that this technology has been three years in the making. “Bluetooth is great for headphones and keyboards but it’s not the best choice to punch through oven doors, steel plates, or even building walls. Using a low frequency industrial signal, RFX stays connected in the cooking environment so you can consistently achieve restaurant-quality results at home or work.”
We hope to review the RFX MEAT shortly!
