Advanced Cook & Hold Timing with Real-Time Temperature Visibility
The Meridian Series Computer Kit by Kitchen Brains® combines the Meridian Timer PLUS functionality with integrated temperature monitoring hardware, delivering a complete, ready-to-install cooking, holding, and temperature monitoring solution.
Built on the Meridian Series Computer platform, the Computer Kit includes one or two temperature probes and required mounting hardware, allowing operators to monitor appliance temperatures out of the box—without sourcing accessories separately.
Like the Meridian Timer PLUS, the Meridian Computer Kit supports up to three programmable action alarms per product key and multi-key hold time linking, making it ideal for complex cooking workflows and high-volume kitchens.
Designed for use with either gas or electric appliances, the Meridian Computer Kit provides flexible customization while maintaining the familiar, easy-to-use Meridian interface. This turnkey approach simplifies installation, accelerates deployment, and ensures consistent cooking performance from day one.
Available in 10-product, single-display or 18-product, dual-display configurations, the Meridian Series Computer Kit is the ideal solution for operations that need advanced timing, real-time temperature monitoring, and PLUS-level performance in one complete package.
Meridian Computer Kits also support optional compatibility with KorrectProduction® kitchen management software, enabling HACCP reporting, data tracking, and real-time online kitchen visibility for compliance-driven and performance-focused operations.

Meridian Probe-Driven Benefits for Smarter Kitchen Control
Consistent Product Quality: Regardless of load or start temperature, probe sensing guarantees every batch cooks perfectly.
Ensure Food Safety: Hold timers tied to probe-verified cook cycles prevent serving expired or unsafe product.
Easy Training and Operation: Probe automation minimizes operator error and simplifies staff training.
Reliable, Low-Maintenance Design: Durable, solid-state probes never need recalibration, ensuring uptime and longevity.
Restaurant Challenges Solved by Meridian's Probe Technology
Inconsistent Cook Results
Manual timing can’t account for varying appliance conditions. The Meridian’s real-time probe feedback ensures precise and consistent cooking every cycle.
Food Safety Risks
Improper cooking or holding times expose food to unsafe temperatures. The probe-driven system continuously verifies internal conditions to maintain HACCP compliance.
Training Difficulties
New employees can quickly master operations thanks to intuitive mobile phone-style programming and probe automation, reducing reliance on manual judgment.
Appliance Variability
Different appliances perform differently — but the Meridian probe system automatically compensates for appliance efficiency or load differences.
Maintenance Downtime
Probes are solid-state and maintenance-free. Even if one fails, the "Backup Timer Mode" keeps your kitchen running without interruption.
Menu Expansion
Easily program 10 product keys with individualized probe-based cook profiles for rotating or limited-time menus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Meridian 10 Product Freestanding Computer
-
How does the Meridian’s probe improve cooking accuracy?
The built-in thermistor probe continuously measures appliance temperature and automatically adjusts cook time, ensuring consistent quality and safety.
-
Can I use more than one probe?
Yes. The MEC-110 Plus supports one or two probes for single or double-appliance monitoring.
-
Do the probes require recalibration?
No. The solid-state probes are factory-calibrated and never require maintenance or recalibration.
-
What happens if a probe stops working?
The system automatically enters Backup Timer Mode, allowing uninterrupted cooking operations until the probe is replaced.
-
Can probe data be used for HACCP reporting?
Yes. Probe temperature and cook data can be exported for HACCP compliance and audit reporting.
