Product Description
The RediChek remote features a transmitter that reads the internal food termperature with a digital electronic food probe, then sends that information wirelessly up to 100 feet away, freeing you from standing next to the oven or grill during the cooking period. When the desired temperature is reached an alarm goes off! The taste or doneness of meats can be determined to be rare, medium, medium well, or well done based on the type of food and the internal temperature reached during cooking.

Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire. Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds. Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack

C'mon, 100ft Range? by iuiiiuuiuu (USA)

I only bought this for the remote feature, the rest of the stuffs are of no interest to me. They should stop advertising the 100 ft range remote. Because in realty, this thing does not work beyond 4 meters.

The first unit received would not transmit a signal (30 feet) consistantly from my barbeque to my kitchen. I returned it and received another which seems to maintain an uninterrupted signal for the 30 minutes of outside cooking. An audible alarm which alerts one that the signal has been lost would be a vital improvement to this gadget. In the mean time, I will check the signal often and regularly. The reported temperatures seem to be accurate, the instructions are straigtforward and the two probes are handy.

Yeah, right, 100 feet, try 10... by Flyer Tuck

The only reason I bought this was for the remote monitoring capability. I cannot get more than 10 feet away without loosing the transmitter and that is line of site. If I close my sliding glass door, I do not get 5 feet. I tried 3 sets of batteries, incuding rechargables, no improvement. Great product in other ways, accurate and clean design, but useless to me since it isn't really a remote monitor.

Good, but lots of room for improvement by Solar. (MA)

Overall, I'm luke warm on this item. I purchased it off Amazon since it was the highest rated wireless thermometer. It certainly works well but there is a lot of room for improvement. After one 12-hour smoker run, here are my initial thoughts: Pros: *Multiple probes *Easy to read display *Long cords (approx 4') for convenience *Decent range (could go almost anywhere in the house within 10 yards or line of sight) Cons: *Inconsistent signal - would sporadically lose/find the signal. *No alert tone when signal is dropped. *No low temperature alert. *No backlight on display. *Could make keys more intuitive. *No room to add/purchase additional probes My biggest complaints are the lack of alert tone when signal is dropped, and lack of low temperature alert and here's why; After firing up my smoker at 5am I wanted to get some shuteye. I took the wireless receiver into the living room where it still received signal (almost line of site, 10 yards away from smoker). It received a signal for 10 minutes or so and eventually I felt comfortable and fell asleep. I woke up an hour or so later and, at some point, the unit had lost the signal and failed to make any audible noise. Without this feature, or the low temp feature, it really requires you to monitor it manually. It would ad so much value for these two, simple software updates. This was my first wireless grill thermometer but it seems pretty straight forward. I'd probably recommend to a friend but would search for a few alternatives as well.

Wireless Meat Thermometer: Ok, but could be better by Vincent Guaglianone (SF Bay Area)

I really like the two probe feature and it works accurately and reliably as a digital thermometer. What is poor about this product is the wireless feature. The range is so short that other than sitting on a chair a few feet away, it really isn't much good. That said, I like sitting on my patio swing with a beer watching the smoker from a distance(10-20ft), so I'm not totally disappointed. It just would be better if I could go into the house and walk around while I'm smoking stuff. I think I only paid $35 for this, so it's not so bad, in the context of what a "Green Egg" costs. It just could be better. I like the idea of a wireless device and before I bought this one again I'd shop around to see if there is one with better range, but I wouldn't pay much more for it.
