The CHEF iQ is just a great wireless probe thermometer…It has built-in WiFi, so I always have a connection. It has great Bluetooth range when there’s no internet available. The ambient sensor is accurate in stable temperature environments…

Anyone with a passing knowledge of how to use a smartphone will find the CHEF iQ’s screen a cinch to use, and anyone with a smartphone will like that they can monitor the CHEF iQ remotely. Additional features such as the built-in scale and recipes in the chefiqlogotype app make this pressure cooker all the more richer.

As far as thermometers are concerned, this is flawless. The app is extremely easy to use and interfaces quickly with the hub...I endorse it. I think it’s a great product.

But the CHEF iQ Smart Cooker stands out for its sleeker design, built-in scale, and a more beginner-friendly app that takes the guesswork out of pressure cooking. That makes it one of the smarter multi-cookers we've tested, and a worthy alternative to the Instant Pot.

My chicken was perfect, and it didn’t even look like I used the thermometer. So perfect! I put it back in its hub to recharge it for next time. I swear this could be quite a crutch for perfect meat every time. I am beyond impressed! Totally recommend this product. Absolutely love it!

On the pot itself, you can pour in half a bag of those black beans, which, by weight, tell it how much water you'll need. You can then weigh the water as you pour it in, then close the lid and hit Start. The CHEF iQ sets the time, pressure, and even type of pressure release. See how nice that is?
