Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub review: Backyard grillmaster training

[ad_1] The hardware is nice, but the real star here is the Weber Connect app. It’s the software that runs on JuneOS, which powers June’s smart ovens. Weber Connect functions in a similar manner: It uses a combination of internal food temperature and grill temperature to guide your cooking process. You can select from a […]

Best Buy knocked $70 off the Instant Pot Viva

[ad_1] The pressure cooker comes with 15 smart programs that let you pressure cook, slow-cook, steam, saute and more. It also has a delay start function, so you can schedule cooking. Normally, that would mean you could program meals to be ready when you get home, but since so many people are working from home […]

Amazon cuts the price of the 7-in-1 Ninja Foodi cooker to $125

[ad_1] The Foodi’s functions include pressure cooking, air frying/air crisping, steaming, baking/roasting, slow cooking, yogurt making and searing/sauteing. With this beast, you can make pulled pork, homemade potato chips, baked mac and cheese and roasted veggies, even yogurt, all in the same machine and quickly. As Engadget’s Andy Tranatola discovered, the Ninja Foodi can be […]

Blue Apron considers selling itself as it bleeds customers

[ad_1] Recent subscriber data explains just why Blue Apron is exploring mergers and sales. The company’s customers dropped from about 557,000 at the end of 2018 to 351,000 a year later — that’s a drop of nearly 37 percent in the space of a year. Orders dropped by nearly a third, too. And while Blue […]

The Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid works as promised, but only for small batches

[ad_1] Thrilled, I ordered it from Amazon. It arrived a few days later in a fairly large box, almost the size of the Instant Pot itself. Indeed, the Air Fryer Lid is not insignificant in size, measuring 13.8 by 13.7 by 12.8 inches. It weighs in at 11.7 pounds, which is not exactly feather-light, but […]

How Weber used decades of expertise to improve smart grilling

[ad_1] Weber is admittedly a late entry into the pellet-grill game. It did its homework, however, and rather than simply put out a line of pellet grills with the Weber logo on them, it brought its wealth of grill knowledge to the table. It also listened to pellet-grill users, collecting info on what they did […]

Weber Connect will be a useful tool for grillers of all skill levels

[ad_1] I’ve reviewed Traeger’s Timberline and Ironwood connected grills that allow you to control and monitor the machine remotely. The connectivity offered via that company’s WiFire tech is extremely useful, especially during longer cooks like a brisket or pork shoulder. Trager’s app has a massive library of recipes and you can automatically set grill temperature […]

Weber’s grilling hub equips any grill with WiFi smarts

[ad_1] Back in November, grilling giant Weber joined the WiFi-connected pellet grill game when it announced its upcoming SmokeFire grills. A fancy pellet grill is a nice thing to have, and while they’re versatile, not everyone wants to pay several hundred dollars, or even over a thousand or more, to buy one. At CES, Weber […]

Whirlpool’s smart thermometer ensures your food is cooked properly

[ad_1] This isn’t uncommon in existing connected thermometers like Meater, but it should get clever in the future. An update coming in late 2020 will integrate the thermometer with supporting Whirlpool ovens, letting the oven adjust the temperature based on the steps you’re in with a given Yummly recipe. You might not even have to […]

What we’re listening to: Brass Against and ‘Gastropod’

[ad_1] Brass Against Kris HoltContributing Writer YouTube gets a lot of flak over its recommendation algorithm, but it got one suggestion absolutely spot on for me recently with a video from Brass Against. The collective aims to create “brass protest music that calls fans to action.” So far, that equates to brass-heavy arrangements of well-known […]
