Get To Know RFX MEAT™
Discover the engineering behind the RFX MEAT probe. Explore its advanced multi-sensor design and learn proper placement techniques to guarantee unmatched accuracy, safety, and durability on every cook.
Your food is only as done as its least-cooked part. That’s why the RFX MEAT probe features four individually calibrated sensors packed into the tip. The ThermoWorks app automatically reports the lowest reading, guaranteeing you always find the true thermal center of your meat. For the temperature-obsessed, you can enable Advanced Mode to view all four sensor readings in real time and see exactly what's happening inside your cook.
To protect the probe's advanced internal electronics, it must be inserted into your food at least up to the Minimum Immersion Line. The meat acts as a natural insulator, keeping the sensitive internal components within their safe operating range (up to 212°F/100°C), while allowing the exposed handle to withstand extreme ambient temperatures up to 1,000°F (538°C). Failing to insert the probe to this line can result in permanent damage to the device.
For the most accurate readings and ultimate protection, insert the probe up to the Recommended Immersion Line. While the minimum line keeps the electronics safe, pushing the probe to the recommended depth ensures that intense ambient heat from your smoker or grill doesn't travel down the metal shaft and falsely elevate your internal temperature readings. Proper immersion guarantees real data, not guesswork.
