Charcoal Grill / Gas Grill


Smoker


Rotisserie


Dishwasher

The thermometer is highly water-resistant. The 2nd Generation is rated IP69K, the highest ingress protection rating available, and the 1st Generation is rated IP68 (submersion to 1 meter for 30+ minutes).

We recommend hand-washing, though; it just works better.
Microwave
❌ 
Unless you like explosions. Please do not. The thermometer is largely metal, and its antenna is tuned close to microwave frequency, so the result is plasma.
Air-Fryer


Slow Cooker (Crockpot)


Sous Vide

Fully supported. Turn on Always-On Mode in the app first, otherwise the water bridges the charging contacts and the thermometer goes to sleep mid-cook.
Dutch Oven

It depends. It won’t harm the probe, but with the lid closed, you probably won’t get a signal out.

(Could you check in by leaving the probe inside the roast or bread or whatever, and occasionally taking the lid off? Sure.)
Deep Fryer


Trivection Oven

The meshy screen that keeps microwaves from escaping also keeps Bluetooth signals from escaping. Also: microwaves! See above.
Pressure Cooker

The pressure raises the boiling point of water to 248 °F / 120 °C, which means the water inside the food can’t keep the electronics in the tip cool enough.
Broaster


Turkey Fryer




Still have a question?

If your appliance isn't listed, or you're not sure whether your setup is safe for the thermometer, email [email protected] and tell us what you're cooking and what you're cooking it in. We would rather answer first than replace a thermometer afterwards.
