The figure that matters most is 212°F, the top of the stated internal range, with accuracy listed at plus or minus 1.8°F. This set comes with two probes of different lengths, and a version with one probe is also sold.

The listing describes a wireless meat thermometer with a long probe and a short probe, color coded so two pieces of meat can be tracked at once. It gives no probe lengths or diameters, so the words long and short tell you only which is which. Internal temperature is listed from 14°F to 212°F. Ambient temperature is listed from 14°F to 572°F, and the stated accuracy is plus or minus 1.8°F. The handles are described as ceramic and heat resistant to 1050°F, which is a handle rating and not a reading range.

Range is claimed at 500ft using RF and Bluetooth 5.2. The listing does not say what walls or conditions that figure was reached through, so treat it as a ceiling. The probes are rated IPX8 for water, but the listing gives no depth or time. Battery life is stated as over 48 hours on a rechargeable cell, with a low battery alert, but charging time is not given.

The app is listed for iOS 9.0 or Android 6 and later, and for iPad and Apple Watch S8 or later. It offers real time tracking, custom alerts and cooking estimates, and a phone and a watch can connect at the same time. The listing does not explain how the cooking estimates are calculated.
