Wireless thermometers arent new.
The latest generation of wireless thermometers have ditched the cords altogether.
Theyve also added AI to the mix, with predictive cooking times.
Theoretically, the Combustions range is 660 feet.
For that reason, Combustion also created Bluetoothextendersthat look exactly like the receiver/charging base.
Right off the bat, I liked that the receiver and charger were innocuous and small.
The receivers charge via USB-C, which I also appreciatedother units I tested used batteries.
As probes go, these are quite beefy.
You shouldnt submerge the entire probes in water themselvesCombustion sells aclipto keep them partially un-submerged.
In all but one of the experiments, the Combustion stayed connected via Bluetooth.
you’ve got the option to set a goal temperaturethats the basis of the predictive cooking time.
Eight sensors in the probe measure along the length and use those temperatures to form the predicted cooking time.
The Postmates app is better at predicting when my food will arrive.
If I hadn’t been checking against a control thermometer, I’d never know it was off.
Of the new generation of probes, its the best Ive tested so far.
The Combustion can receive updates via Bluetooth, so the AI may get better.
The app works well, and will probably get more features in the future.
Do I love it enough to pay $149 for a thermometer?
The Combustion was, in addition to everything else, a lot of fun.
