Can you use a MEATER on a BBQ?

Answered by Michael Weatherspoon

Grilling is a classic cooking method that many people enjoy, and using a MEATER can definitely enhance your grilling experience. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I've had the opportunity to experiment with different cooking techniques, and grilling is always a favorite.

When it comes to using a MEATER on a BBQ, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it's crucial not to place the probe directly over the flames. This can cause the probe to overheat and potentially damage it. Instead, it's best to set up your grill for indirect cooking.

To achieve indirect cooking on a BBQ, you can light the burners on one side of the grill and leave the other side unlit. This creates a temperature gradient, allowing you to cook your meat indirectly. This method is particularly useful when grilling larger cuts of meat, such as whole chickens or roasts. The indirect heat helps to cook the meat evenly and prevents it from charring or burning.

Using the MEATER with indirect cooking on a BBQ is fairly straightforward. Simply insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, making sure it's not touching any bones or fat. Then, place the meat on the unlit side of the grill, away from direct flames. Close the lid of the grill to maintain a steady temperature.

One of the great features of the MEATER is that it connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing you to monitor the cooking process remotely. This means you can relax and enjoy time with your friends and family while still keeping an eye on the temperature of your meat.

During my own grilling experiences, I've found the MEATER to be incredibly helpful in achieving perfect results. Whether I'm grilling a juicy steak or a tender rack of ribs, the MEATER's accurate temperature readings ensure that my meat is cooked to perfection every time.

In addition to the MEATER's temperature monitoring capabilities, it also provides estimated cooking times based on the type of meat and desired level of doneness. This information is invaluable when planning your BBQ, as it helps you estimate when your meat will be ready to serve.

To summarize, using a MEATER on a BBQ is definitely possible and can greatly enhance your grilling game. By setting up your grill for indirect cooking and placing the probe in the meat, you can achieve perfectly cooked results. The MEATER's temperature monitoring and estimated cooking times make it a valuable tool for any grilling enthusiast. So fire up your BBQ, grab your MEATER, and get ready to impress your friends and family with deliciously grilled meats.
