Maverick is one of the most well-known thermometer brands out there, with a lot of best-selling products for a couple of years.<\/p>\n
The ET 733 is their latest addition to the digital wireless thermometers market, which has already gotten a lot of good reviews and sales.<\/p>\n
But, what are its advantages and disadvantages?<\/p>\n
We wrote a full Maverick ET733 review<\/strong><\/em>, covering all its benefits, drawbacks and other things to have in mind when picking this model.<\/p>\n Note:<\/u><\/em> If you are in a hurry, you can use the table below to quickly navigate through the article or just simply click here<\/a> to jump directly to our editor\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Maverick Industries, Inc. is a very well-known and established brand when it comes to consumer products, such as thermometers and other cooking devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n It is founded in 1981 and quickly become known for its innovations by continuously producing and introducing upscale, high-quality grills across the country.<\/p>\n Later on, the company evolved to producing digital cooking thermometers, for oven and grill, and many other specialty units.<\/p>\n Currently, the Maverick is the holder of nine U.S. utility patents and multiple design patents, primarily related to cooking thermometers and kitchen appliances.<\/p>\n The Maverick brand<\/a> is committed to quality, innovative technology and partnering with premier brands to offer the best cooking thermometers for its customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are a couple of reasons why picking a food thermometer may be good for you:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Safety is critical, especially when it comes to food.<\/p>\n Cooking at the right temperature will kill the bacteria and foodborne pathogens.<\/p>\n And with different types of food having different minimum recommended cooking temperature, a food thermometer will take out the guesswork and will give you accurate readings for every type of meat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n While there are several factors which determine the quality of the meat, the cooking temperature will also impact its taste and flavor.<\/p>\n If you cook the meat at the recommended temperature, its flavor and taste will be enhanced even more and it will be more delicious to eat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you cook your food at the recommended temperature, it will be easier to store them in the freezer for later use.<\/p>\n Some pathogens, such as E. coli can be deadly when consumed and properly cooked meat will remain safe at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Maverick ET-733 digital grill thermometer<\/strong><\/em> gives you the ability to monitor your food without even being behind it.<\/p>\n This device comes with a receiver, a transmitter and two probes which can be left on two different pieces of meat to continuously get internal temperature data simultaneously.<\/p>\n The range is pretty impressive, working perfectly from up to 300 feet away. If you forget and get slightly out of the range, a beeping noise will continue, to notify you to get closer.<\/p>\n With this device, you can set multiple alarms to ring when the food reaches a specific temperature, making it very useful, so you don\u2019t have to watch the transmitter all the time.<\/p>\n It also has pre-programmed temperature preset for foods like beef, lamb, pork, chicken, etc. so you won\u2019t have to set up the temperature manually each time you cook but just select a profile instead.<\/p>\n Based on our test, we found this model pretty accurate and consistent. Even though it takes a couple of seconds to read the temperature, still at the end, it was pretty accurate.<\/p>\n The 7 inch long probes make it possible to read temperatures ranging between 32 to 572 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n Two small things which we didn\u2019t like was the automatic turn off feature to save battery life and the need for a screwdriver to change the batteries.<\/p>\n Overall, all the Maverick ET 733 Reviews are very good as it is a pretty solid device, with multiple capabilities, which will fulfill any temperature measuring need you may have. This device comes with a 90-day warranty and the company offers telephone and email support, in case you need help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Maverick ET-733 is a transmitter and receiver type of thermometer. It uses the included two probes to read the temperature and send it to you via the receiver.<\/p>\n The two probes can be used to read two foods at the same time or you can use one for the food and one for the pit. While most people don\u2019t need to know the pit temperature since most grills and smokers come with a built-in thermometer on the lid, it is still good to have them as an extra option.<\/p>\n The device included 15 pre-programmed presets to make even easier picking and setting up the desired temperature. You will get an alarm when your food is done so you won’t have to monitor the temperature all the time.<\/p>\n Also, you can use the alarm feature to get a notification if the pit temperature goes more or less the desired point.<\/p>\n The temperature range is 32 to 572\u00b0F<\/strong><\/em>, which is more than enough for most people.<\/p>\n The receiver features a large, clear display on the front, which become very easy to read after using the device once or twice.<\/p>\n Also, the receiver gives you a notification if you go out of the 300 feet range<\/strong><\/em>, which is pretty good as the strong signal will be helpful if you have a lot of walls between you and the grill.<\/p>\n Other worth mentioning options is the switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius and the clip to hook and hang the transmitter when you are not using.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Maverick Transmitter, Receiver, 2 Connected Probes & Probe Clips<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As for design, the Maverick ET-733 features a shiny black, simple design. It is primarily made of plastic and has a big screen on the front, together with a combination of buttons.<\/p>\n Some people find the buttons a bit confusing at first, but once you use them for a few minutes, they get used to them.<\/p>\n The built quality is pretty good for a plastic construction. Both, the transmitter and the receiver feel solid when you hold them in hand, giving you a safe and comfortable feeling.<\/p>\n As for the probes, the build quality can depend on each customer. A few find them very good and accurate while some others report that they are not as accurate as advertised.<\/p>\n The Maverick\u2019s online manual states about +(-)2\u00b0F accuracy but a few tests show the error scale to be up to 5\u00b0F, which can make a difference, especially if you are cooking a rare steak and without knowing, it is cooked to medium doneness level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Maverick’s Cooking Probe<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Maverick ET-733 model comes with two hybrid probes, which are suitable for different kind of foods, not only meat.<\/p>\n This may be an advantage or a slight disadvantage over other competitors including only meat focused probes.<\/p>\n These issues may also be related to the probes being wet or washing them before using.<\/p>\n The instruction manual prevents and highly recommends you to not wash or submerge them in water, at least not before using them, as the water may go inside and impact the reading quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Most of the people haven\u2019t had any issue but still, it is better to mention and review each case, even though it may be due to people not following the proper instructions.<\/p>\n Also, another issue with these probes is that they are about 7\u201d long<\/strong><\/em>, much larger than most of other thermometers probes currently on the market.<\/p>\n If you are cooking small cuts of meat, they can leave a big hole on the food, ruining your presentation.<\/p>\n When it comes to reading\u2019s speed, these probes are not the fastest one. As you may expect from a digital thermometer, it will take a couple of seconds before showing you the temperature.<\/p>\n It is completely normal for this type of thermometers to take that long to read the internal temperature. While an instant-read thermometer takes only 1-2 seconds<\/strong><\/em>, these models will take a couple of seconds longer.<\/p>\n The issues with the probes should definitely be considered however we think that if you take good care of them and follow the instructions properly, you will not have any issue.<\/p>\n Also, you can always buy a replacement probe to have as a backup. There are several models available to pick, very durable, waterproof and accurate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Selecting Temperature Preset after Connecting the Probes<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As for ease of use, the Maverick ET-733 is pretty good. It is very easy to set up as soon as you get it out of the box.<\/p>\n The probes insert into the food very easily, thanks to their sharp tip. You also have to make sure they are properly connected with the transmitter by giving them a nice push.<\/p>\n The receiver comes with a lot of pre-programmed temperature profiles, for foods such as beef, lamb, chicken, fish, rabbit, etc., making it very easy to set up and start cooking.<\/p>\n You can even customize the temperature of profiles to match your desired point of doneness level.<\/p>\n There are dedicated buttons to navigate and perform different tasks but a lot of people find it a bit confusing at first to use them. You will find them very simple once you use the device once or twice. There are a lot of tutorial videos and instructions on the Maverick\u2019s website, to make the learning process even easier.<\/p>\n One small thing, which we think is pretty annoying, is that it requires a screwdriver to open the batteries box. It will not feel good if you ran out of battery in the middle of a cook and you have to go and find a screwdriver to change the batteries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Obviously, accuracy is very important to a food thermometer.<\/p>\n The ET-733 model has an average accuracy of +(-)2\u00b0F even though there are some customers who reported a 5\u00b0F accuracy range.<\/p>\n Usually, digital food thermometers of this category have an accuracy of +(-)2\u00b0F, so it is on the same level as its competitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n One thing which makes it more accurate is that you can leave the Maverick ET-733 hybrid probes connected even when meat is cooking. It is durable to high temperatures and the continuous measurement will improve the accuracy a lot.<\/p>\n Couple of things you should have in mind is the placement of the probes. You need to make sure the probe is properly placed inside the center and not on the side or near the bone. The location of the probe will directly impact the temperature reading.<\/p>\n As for speed, don\u2019t expect to get the reading in just a couple of seconds. Even the best instant read thermometers take 1-3 seconds to read the temperature.<\/p>\n With a wireless digital meat thermometer, you should wait a couple more seconds to get a better reading.<\/p>\n Again, this is highly improved if you leave the probes connected all the time. Doing so, you will not have to wait to get the temperature but just read the receiver and you are good to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Maverick ET-733 comes with a 90-day warranty<\/strong><\/em>. It may look like a very short warranty, especially when compared to other competitors on the market, like the ThermoPro TP20<\/a> which is offering 1 year extendable up to 3 years warranty, but it can be enough to test and see if you like the product or is there is something faulty.<\/p>\n As for support, the Maverick offers telephone and email help in case you have an issue or need to ask a question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMaverick History & Customer Reviews<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
