How fast does it show the temperature of meat on the grill?

I've never used it on a grill bit from the oven, when i check the temp of meat, it takes a good five to ten seconds before reaching the highest reading.

I'd say no slower or faster than any other thermometer Ive used in my professional career.

I takes about 20 seconds to get to the full temperature reading. Not instant read.

It's not instant but it's very fast. For the price you can't beat this thermometer. It seams very accurate as well

i have never used it on the grill. i think an instant read thermometer might be better. i would be hesitant to use this great oven thermometer that way. hopes this helps

right on the grill surface, where you would want to measure the temperature of where you put your food.

I was using my candy thermometer but it broke so I have been using my digital meat thermometer. I couldn't get it to work in a double boiler on the stove, but using a microwave it takes around 8-9 minutes to get to the appropriate temperature. I stir mine every couple minutes until it is at the right temp. It takes around 30-40 minutes to cool to the right temp to add the yogurt starter. I stir every 5 minutes while cooling.

It's pretty fast. If you are using the steak setting, it might take a few minutes to give a final reading (for more well done meat), but not too much time.

There is a meat select button and a "taste" button for the degree of your desired cooked level. Also, printed on the probe protector plastic sheath tube are the various meats and suggested temperatures for your taste. Or you can ignore all that and just use the probe to determine the temperature of the meat you are cooking, grilling, broiling, etc.

This is not a grill. It's an oven. It don't get hot enough to grill on it. It's for baking and frying food. On a grill the meat will cook in about 5 to 8 minutes. If it takes 30 minutes you are baking it.

That's what it says in the product description and I bought it based on Consumer Reports glowing evaluation. However, there is absolutely no marking on the device that identifies it in any way. Finally, in spite of Consumer Reports opinion, this thing is slow to read the temperature of anything that isn't ambient. Trying to take the temperature of something on the grill runs the risk of burns before the temperature is obtained.

The unit is housed in plastic, which would most likely melt if it was in contact with hot metal (like the grill lid) for more than a few seconds. It works great as an instant read thermometer for whatever is on the grill or in the oven.

Just, I'm not sure but when I place it in the meat it reads the temp of the refrigerated meat. 50 degrees or so

For a beef medium well temperature of 165 degrees I have found that it is very accurate. I have compared to a analog thermometer and it was within 2 degrees each time. Not bad for an instant read. Hope this helps.

I know for sure it gets to 400degrees within 4-5 mins. I have truly enjoyed the instant sear it puts on my meat. I do grilled corn, asparagus, onions, peppers, whatever on it. It really locks in the flavor and juice of the meat bc it gets so hot.

I would not try to use the meat probe. The wire from the Monitor to the probe would get tangled while the rotisserie is spinning. You could use the temp probe to monitor the BBQ temp as long as it was fixed to grate.

Yes, a temp shows, probably air temp. It increases (or decreases if meat is cold) once inserted and the meat begins to cook. I like it, but I do wish the probe cable was a bit longer.

Reading the temperature is very easy, the numbers (Meat Temp & BBQ Temp) are about 5/8" (15mm) high and are very bold. The setting numbers are about 1/2 that, but in bold type.

The Maverick does just that. The main monitor has two ports for probes to be plugged into. One is for the temp of the grate/grill, the other is for the temp of the meat. It also has a remote monitor that will display both temperatures. This works up to +/- 100'.

Howdy K.O., I have only used this thermometer for meats. It is accurate, and fast. I also bought my nephew one since he liked mine so much. Hope this helps your decision making. C
