Steak Time offers an innovative Grilling Timer that enables the user to create a personalized steak timer setting for each guest. The timer indicates when to put the steaks on the grill and exactly when to turn them to achieve the specific degree of doneness that each guest prefers. The iGrill, a temperature probe cooking thermometer with a long range Bluetooth® connection, integrates seamlessly to upgrade the Steak Time app, by giving the user the ability to now cook by temperature, as well as by time.
The iGrill function enhances the Steak Time app by allowing the user to monitor the internal temperature of the items being grilled or smoked up to a distance of more than 200 feet, making it ultra-convenient for slow roasting and smoking food preparation.
Other key features of the iGrill enabled Steak Time app from Omaha Steaks include:
-- Social media integration allowing users to share recipes and tips with
their friends on Facebook and Twitter.
-- Conversation card feature that provides a host of interesting facts and
questions to help liven up the dinner discussion.
-- Ability to browse the Omaha Steaks store from within the app.
-- 'Buy Now' buttons that appear in a user's grocery list allowing them to
purchase Omaha Steaks products.
-- Multiple cooking timers and temperature tools which allow users to set
food preparation timers directly from within recipes and view active
times and temperatures from anywhere in the app.
The Steak Time App is available for free from the App Store on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore. Users can purchase the iGrill temperature probe directly through a link within the Steak Time app.
