Better cooking starts with better apps

But why on earth would I want two cooking apps?

Unlike other cooking companies – we don’t make it our business to tell you what to do. You’re the cook! You decide what tastes best.

What temp is a steak “perfectly done”? 

What recipes take you to your happy place?

It's always up to you.

These apps are more tools in your set - to guide you to your perfect doneness and to make your recipes easier to find, cook with, and share. Choose the app that fits your cooking style.

TLDR:

For simple controls and for fine-tuning your favorite foods, go with the Combustion App. 

For exploring new recipes or sharing family favorites, the Crouton App is your guy.

Android/ios/ipad + more

What do I get from the free Combustion App?

Control the Predictive Thermometer and other Combustion tools. Set target temp and select SafeCook™ settings. See key temperatures throughout your food and get an exact countdown to the time your food will hit that target temp.

Never overcooked, never undercooked.

Always just so.

Ok, so what do I get from the premium Crouton Recipe App?

So glad you asked. Crouton is an electronic cookbook that you build yourself. It allows you to import recipes from practically ANY source.

It helps you organize recipes, build shopping lists for ingredients, and gives you step-by-step instructions as you cook.

Get Crouton Discover

It’s kind of a “guided” cooking experience, but in the best way. Other apps are like a tour bus with a strict schedule, do this, do that, no dawdling!

Crouton is a bespoke trip to a place you used to visit with your grandma, guided by a local who happens to be a Master Chef.

It even reads the temperatures – in real time – that your Predictive Thermometer is putting out, without needing to flip back to the Combustion App.

BTW, the premium version even allows you to share recipes with the whole fam (however you define “fam”).

Much better than continuously pasting pics and screenshots into text messages!

Share the whole recipe: plus photos, corrections and custom notes.

There's more to the Combustion App

Ultimately the apps are designed to be complementary. If you have both apps, you’ve got the best of everything.

Beyond the basics

The Combustion App gives you total visibility into what’s happening inside your food in real time.

Advanced detail of cooking temps at all 8 sensors.

Real-time graphing.

Exports of all that meticulous data, so you can deep dive and perfect your favorite recipes down to the nth degree.

WiFi and MeatNet Cloud so you can monitor your cook from anywhere.

Live food-safety tracking that tells you exactly when your food reaches government safety standards (SafeCook™).

Learning as you cook

One of the best things about cooking with Combustion tools, is that you get real-time feedback as you go.

Having visible information at the ready, watching the graph (don’t laugh, it’s mesmerizing!) teaches you more about heat and how it works than you ever would have imagined.

Crouton is also a great learning tool. With step-by-step cooking guidance, it’s one of the best ways to wrap your head around new recipes and get it right the first time.
