Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer Review And Rating

The Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer operates on the premise that you shouldn’t need to be right next to your grill the entire time you’re cooking. It employs a wireless receiver that reads info from its two food probes up to 300 feet away.  This means you can spend more time preparing side dishes or visiting with your quests while the Maverick ET 733 remote wireless thermometer keeps an eye on what you are cooking.  Enabling you to cook meats and other food to perfection, a thermometer is a must-have for any indoor or outdoor kitchen.  Here is a rundown of the Maverick grilling thermometer’s specifications.

Maverick Housewares

Top 3 Features:

The Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer is branded to make grilling more accurate, more delicious, and more relaxed.  With the ability to monitor your food from up to 300-feet away, you aren’t forced to check your food every couple of minutes. Instead, you can relax at your porch table, or hide inside from the rain, while the dual probes send in temperature readings on up to two separate foods.  If you enjoy grilling all year round or want to find some wonderfully accurate temperatures to cook to, the Maverick is a product worth checking out.

How To Use

The Maverick grilling thermometer is very intuitive. Of course, you should read through the user’s manual, but the Maverick is a user-friendly thermometer.  After inserting the batteries, there is a three-step process to use.

• Insert the probe into the center of your food.  Make sure it is in the center of the thickest part, so you don’t get undercooked meat.

• Select one of the preset temperatures, conveniently named by several types of meat.

• Customize the range if you want by raising the high-temperature alert and lowering the low-temperature alert by pressing HI button and LO button, according to your personal taste.

After setting everything up, you are ready to rock.  The thermometer will give you updates on the probe’s temperature, as well as alert you if your temperature goes outside of the set range.

Product Description And Features

The Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer comes in two pieces.  The transmitter is the piece with two probes attached. This unit will sit next to your grill, and run the probes to your food.  The receiver is the unit that reads your current temperatures and preset ranges for alerts.  Both units are 2.5 x 1 x 4.75 inches.  They come in a variety of colors.  You can buy it in white, black, gray, copper, and in a limited time offer at the time of this article, green.

Temperature Range

The temperature reading range, a very important feature of any thermometer, is from 32°F to 572°F.  The lack of range below freezing is a bit of a shame. But if you are only looking for hot food, or for using mainly as a grill thermometer, there isn’t much use in ranging below freezing anyways.

Wireless Receiver

One of the peak features of the ET-733 dual probe wireless thermometer is its wireless receiver.  With a range of up to 300-feet, you are anything but chained to your grill when you use this ET-733.  The receiver will signal an alert if you go out of range for more than a minute.  That way you don’t have to worry about losing connection and overcooking your food.

You can display temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.  By setting a temperature range on the receiver, you can be alerted in case the temperature drops or raises outside of your range.  The alert is an easily heard audio alarm.

Dual Probes

The ET-733 comes with two probes, allowing you to check the temperature of two foods at the same time, or to use one of the probes to monitor the temperature of the grill itself.  The probes can withstand up to 716°F, so you can rest assured that they won’t burn while in use.

Preset Temperature Ranges

Another cool perk of the Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer is its preset temperatures.  With 15 presets, you can easily choose the corresponding temperature range for whatever meat you are cooking. For the beginner griller, these can give you a great starting point for grilling different meats. Each preset is customizable. That’s great if you have a personal preference for a meat, or if you are cooking something other than meat and want to save the preference.  You can alter and save the range, which will be saved to the receiver even after it is turned off.

Who Is The Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer For?

Anyone who grills knows the importance of a perfectly heated piece of meat.  An overcooked chicken breast is less than fantastic, and a pork loin crosses a barrier from tender to tough quickly.  A thermometer allows you to constantly monitor the temperature of your food.  Hence you can avoid overcooking, and possibly be ruining a good piece of barbecue.

The Maverick is unique in its style, presets, and receiver range.  If you are looking for an accurate and sturdy thermometer that you can read from far away, this is a useful product for you.  The 15 presets are an excellent feature for the newbie griller. So, if you are newer to grilling, this is especially a nice product to consider.

Being able to customize the presets gives even the seasoned barbecue veteran their own piece of the pie though. If you don’t want to deal with another opinion on how to cook your meat, no worries. The Maverick is still a fitting deal for you.

Who Should Consider Alternatives?

Unfortunately, the ET-733 is lacking Bluetooth technology.  If you are a tech savvy griller and want to easily store your grilling temperatures for further examination, you might want to consider a higher end thermometer.  The transmitter will only connect to the single wireless receiver, so you are committed to having only one unit to read and be alerted from.

Pros And Cons

The Biggest Perks Of The Maverick ET-733 Are

• The dual thermometer probes
• The 300-foot range of the wireless receiver
• The 15 preset temperature ranges

There Are A Couple Aspects That Are Unfortunate For The Maverick To Be Lacking.

• The temperature range is limited to above freezing temperatures.  While that is not a problem if you are only planning to use your thermometer for baking and grilling, it is still a feature that comes in handy sometimes.  You never know when you will want to check lower temperatures, and having a thermometer that offers below freezing is a great perk.

• The lack of Bluetooth technology is a bit of a mixed package, but overall, I would say it is a downfall for the ET-733. Bluetooth technology allows you to link your transmitting thermometer to any smartphone. This often gives you the opportunity to monitor temperature changes over your past grilling sessions. It also means you can have several units (several phones) alerting you if your temperature leaves its set range.  With that said, Bluetooth takes a bit more technical know-how, so for the less tech savvy griller, this might not be an issue.

Price And Warranty

The Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer runs between $65 and $75. Maverick products come with a warranty ranging from 90 days to 2 years.  You will have to check the user’s manual to see exactly.

Final Thoughts

The Maverick is a well built, easy to use wireless grilling thermometer.  It has some unique and helpful features, and for the price is a good thermometer, to say the least. It would make a great addition to everybody’s grilling toolbox.

It’s always fun to take the time to try new grilling tools and techniques.  With so many new, innovative and fun products out there, not to mention grilling variables, it’s a shame to confine yourself to the first one you try out! It will be worth it in the long run.
