Honestly, no. Someone on the Blind subreddit did suggest it as an accessible 
option with VoiceOver  though so I pulled the trigger on one when it  went on 
sale as a lightning deal, but by the time I got it, I’d already received the 
reply from Meater about it’s limitations for what I wanted to use it for. 
I’m currently using a Weber leave-in probe with a stainless steel stovetop 
popcorn maker which works well enough. The nice thing about the Weber app is 
that when you leave VO focus on the temperature readout, VO speaks the 
temperature change in realtime. 
I’d be curious to know what the Chef IQ folks say if they get back to you.

Did you use it at all, just wondering how easy the app is to use.
I actually think the Chef Iq sounds a little better, it says it can handle over 
700+°F for ambient temperature and it comes with a hub which is used as a 
charging base and which also has a speaker which can speak the temperature. It 
also connects the thermometer to your device via Wi-Fi, I assume it's Bluetooth 
from the probe to the hub, but then it's WiFi so you have better range. 
Thirdly, you can add I think up to 2 additional probes through the one hub 
which could be a bonus. Lastly, Chef IQ seems to also make a smart pressure 
cooker and other small appliances which all work through the same app.
I sent them an email to ask about Voiceover accessibility, let's see if they 
reply and what they say.

I bought one a few months ago, but ended up returning it. In my case, I was/am 
looking for something to measure the temperature of the roasting chamber while 
roasting coffee beans. I wrote the Meater folks and explained what I wanted to 
use it for, but they said that while it could handle higher temps when inserted 
into something, it was only rated around 200 and something degrees Fahrenheit 
for ambient temps (don’t recall the exact temperature they told me, but I know 
it wasn’t more than 300º). In order to properly roast coffee beans, you have to 
get around 400º depending on the bean. That and the way beans are roasted (lots 
of agitation), it might be too rough for the probe.
