The engineering

Small on purpose.

A thinner Stick

Made for smaller cuts.

The Chef Stick has a 5.5 mm stainless steel shaft, so it goes into smaller cuts, fillets and fish with a smaller hole.

  • 5.5 mm shaft, 3.74 in (95 mm) end to end
  • Ceramic handle rated to 572°F (300°C)
The MeatStick Chef Stick
Three sensors plus ambient

Three sensors inside, one outside.

Three internal sensors compare readings along the Stick, so the app can tell you when it isn't inserted properly. A fourth sensor reads the air temperature around the meat.

  • Improper-insertion alerts
  • Target-temperature and early-warning alerts
  • Reads air temperatures up to 572°F (300°C)

Wakes when you lift it out

Lift it out. It starts.

The charger keeps the Stick topped up. Lift it out and it wakes and starts sending to your phone. Set it back and it sleeps.

  • Bluetooth 5 straight to the MeatStick app
  • No location services needed to connect
  • Charger runs on 2 AA batteries, about 1.5 years of standby

I purchased the MeatStick Chef to replace my Mini that died, and I’m very happy with it. It’s a great addition to the rest of my MeatStick collection. I appreciate the smaller diameter as compared to the Mini. Charges super fast perfect for small cuts.

Just awesome

So easy to use and setup... the app is way better than the other competitors by a long shot. I had the original mini for several years used it all the time and it finally stopped connecting so decided to upgrade and it is worth every penny!
