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' RFX Meat probe is an excellent grilling tool. Once you connect it to a Wi-Fi-enabled RFX Gateway, you can monitor food temperatures on your phone from anywhere. And while wireless temperature probes have been around for a while, the RFX line offers ThermoWorks' proven track record for accuracy. That's one essential tool to have in the pocket of your apron.

As good as the RFX Meat is, the 4.7-inch probe is too long for smaller cuts of meat, poultry and fish. With a minimum immersion line of 3.15 inches, the grilling tool wasn't a great option for things like filet mignon or individual portions of salmon. That changes now, thanks to the new RFX Meat Mini. This shorter version offers almost all of the same features as the original RFX Meat, including four internal temperature sensors, an IP69K waterproof rating (so it's dishwasher safe) and the ability to withstand temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The Mini still comes with a charging block that's powered by a AAA battery, which ThermoWorks says is good enough for over 175 charges. The best part is the maximum immersion line is 2.6 inches, and the minimum line is just 2.36 inches.

Other than length, the major difference between the RFX Meat and RFX Meat Mini is longevity. The Mini will last up to 48 hours on a charge, while the RFX Meat can go for over 65 hours.
