## Key points

- ThermoWorks has launched a shorter probe for smaller portions.
- The Mini costs $99 and needs an RFX Gateway.
- It lasts up to 48 hours per charge.

## Summary

ThermoWorks has introduced the RFX Meat Mini, a shorter wireless cooking probe designed for smaller cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Its shorter insertion length addresses a limitation of the original probe, while retaining most of its features and using the same radio-based system to send readings through a Gateway to the ThermoWorks app.

The Mini is 2.36 inches long to its minimum immersion line and 2.6 inches to its maximum, compared with 3.15 inches minimum on the original. It has four internal temperature sensors, an IP69K waterproof rating and can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°F, but lasts up to 48 hours per charge rather than more than 65. It costs $99 and requires an RFX Gateway; ThermoWorks is offering 20 per cent off the Mini when bought with a Gateway or Starter Kit.
