Whirlpool brings smart thermometer for precision cooking

The Yummly Smart Thermometer uses dual temperature sensors to simultaneously monitor food and oven temperatures

Yummly, Whirlpool Corporation’s digital recipe and cooking platform, is launching a new kitchen device early this year in its mission to be the smartest and most helpful food platform — the Yummly® Smart Thermometer.

Available in early 2020, the Yummly Smart Thermometer uses dual temperature sensors to simultaneously monitor food and oven temperatures, allowing users to track their cooking remotely with their smartphone, and get alerts in real-time when their food is ready.

Users can multitask with confidence as the Smart Thermometer tracks internal temperature while cooking raw, dense meats, like poultry or roasts, and alerts them once their meal is cooked just right.

Additional connected features will be available in late 2020, making the Yummly Smart Thermometer the first wireless smart thermometer to communicate with connected Whirlpool ovens. This smart capability means the oven will know what step users are on in the recipe, and will automatically adjust the temperature up, down, to roast, to broil — whatever is needed to achieve the best results.
