KitchenAid has unveiled its first smart thermometer, marking a significant addition to its cooking product lineup. The thermometer is available in two models: a single probe priced at $100 and a dual probe option for $200. Designed for versatility, it can be used for various cooking techniques, including grilling, roasting, and air frying. The probes are waterproof and dishwasher safe, boasting a battery life of up to 24 hours for extended cooking sessions, such as smoking meats. A quick-charge feature allows users to gain an additional five hours of use from just five minutes of charging. The KitchenAid Smart Thermometer connects to a dedicated app, which provides a graphical view of the cooking process, allows for saving up to 20 cooking sessions, and sends alerts for recipe steps based on temperature. With Bluetooth connectivity and a range extender mode, this thermometer can operate effectively over distances of up to 285 feet. KitchenAid enters a competitive market that includes products from grilling specialists like Meater and ThermoWorks, as well as other major kitchen brands.
