ThermoWorks debuts shorter version of its RFX Meat wireless probe for small cuts
The RFX Meat Mini offers nearly identical performance to the full-sized grilling probe.
ThermoWorks has introduced the RFX Meat Mini, a compact version of its popular RFX Meat wireless probe designed specifically for small cuts of meat, poultry, and fish. The new Mini probe boasts nearly identical performance to the full-sized version, featuring four internal temperature sensors, an IP69K waterproof rating, and the ability to withstand temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Its most significant improvement is a maximum immersion line of just 2.6 inches and a minimum line of 2.36 inches, making it ideal for precision cooking of smaller portions like filet mignon and individual salmon pieces.
The RFX Meat Mini connects to a Wi-Fi-enabled RFX Gateway, allowing users to monitor food temperatures on their mobile devices from anywhere. This setup offers superior accuracy compared to traditional Bluetooth or Wi-Fi probes, as radio waves are less susceptible to interference from grill or smoker walls. The Gateway also accommodates a separate wired ambient temperature probe for even more precise grill readings.
The Mini version offers a 48-hour battery life, sufficient for most home barbecue sessions, and charges via a AAA battery-powered charging block. ThermoWorks is currently offering a 20% discount on the Mini when purchased with the RFX Gateway or the RFX Meat Starter Kit, which includes the Gateway. The RFX Meat Mini is priced at $99, matching the RFX Meat's price point unless on sale.
