Typhur Sync Dual – the best meat thermometer I’ve ever tried

Typhur gives you two meat thermometers in one base station, and all without cables. It works surprisingly well if you accept certain compromises.

Sturdy

Operation is simple: you switch on the Typhur by pressing the circle at the bottom of the display and navigate using the left and right buttons. At first, I tried to use the display as a touchscreen. And got frustrated (it’s not a touchscreen). But I’m actually quite happy not to have to put my greasy fingers all over it.

Good on its own, better with the app

To measure the core temperature, you insert one of the probes into your piece of meat all the way up to the ring marking on the shaft. The base station immediately shows you the meat temperature and the ambient temperature. Thanks to its smart mode, you can set a target temperature and the base station will tell you exactly how long until your meat is cooked. You can then heat up the grill or oven or reduce the heat to have the meat cook faster or slower.

The ambient temperature display and smart mode alone are valuable functions. Things get even more interesting when you add in the app, though you do unfortunately have to create an account to use it.

The app not only contains a database with various pieces of meat and their ideal core temperature, but also offers significantly more information from the probes. For example, it displays a diagram of how quickly the piece of meat and oven or grill heat up. Things get even more interesting in pro mode, which shows you each individual point measured by the probe – the probe actually has five sensors that measure the meat!

This is the game changer I’ve always dreamed of. It allows me to make sure the meat isn’t cooking too quickly on the outside while being raw on the inside. Previously, this was only possible using several individual thermometers. The data nerd in me is having a field day! Of course, if you’re already overwhelmed by just the core temperature alone, you can luckily ignore this mode.

Range for days

Don’t want to stand by your oven, waiting for your meat to cook? The Typhur base station is supposed to offer a range of up to 122 metres outdoors and 44 metres indoors via Bluetooth. The station must be connected to Wi-Fi for the app to work, the advantage being that I can monitor my pork neck as it cooks from anywhere in the world, provided I have an internet connection.

All this comes with a hefty price tag. The Tyhpur Sync Dual currently costs around 200 francs or euros. That’s 100 francs or euros per probe. With that, the Typhur is one of the most expensive thermometers in our range. But you do get the full package for that price, in contrast to the products from Meater, for example, which cost the same but work exclusively via app.

I’m still sceptical as ever about YouTube ads. Typhur is the exception to the rule.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast. more
