thermometer

If you’re a fan of cooking meat, then you know that one of the most important things to get right is the temperature. Overcooked meat can be dry, tough, and just plain unappetizing. Undercooked meat, on the other hand, can be dangerous. That’s why a good meat thermometer is an essential tool for any cook who wants to serve up perfectly cooked meat every time. Meat thermometers are some of the most basic tools that any home cook can have to ensure food safety. The best part about a meat thermometer is that there are multiple types, from digital thermometers to an instant read thermometer so that you can find the best meat thermometer for you.

 

Before we dive too deep into the digital meat thermometer or instant read thermometer world, we can actually categorize two basic types of meat thermometers: those that stay in the meat while it cooks, and those that are inserted into the meat only long enough to take a quick temperature reading. The type you choose will depend on your personal preferences and cooking style. If you’re not too concerned about temperature accuracy – a meat thermometer that just you can just pop in for a quick internal temperature reading might be perfect for you. If you need more accurate temperature readings or need to keep your meat between minimum and maximum temperatures then you might want to choose a meat thermometer that can stay in for the whole cooking process.

Types of meat
thermometers

Probe thermometers are the most popular type of meat thermometer. They have a long, thin metal probe that is inserted into the meat, with a digital readout that stays outside of the oven or grill. This is a relatively inexpensive thermometer and provides an accurate reading. However, a probe thermometer usually requires you to open your grill lid in order to obtain accurate readings. Depending on your dish, you might find this tedious or even interruptive. However, if you’re doing something like candy making these are perfect for a quick check to make sure you hit your desired temperature. A similar meat thermometer option is the analog thermometer. The analog thermometer also has a thin probe and can be used over a wide temperature range. However, it’s not the most accurate thermometer but is great for a quick temperature range check.

 

Pop-up timers are another popular type of meat thermometer. These have a small metal disk that pops up when the meat reaches a certain temperature. They’re not as accurate as probe thermometers, but they’re much easier to use, since you don’t have to open the oven or grill door to check on them. These are great if you just need to make sure to pull out your dish at a maximum internal temperature, but if you need an exact degrees fahrenheit reading this might not be the best option.

 

Instant read thermometers are a very popular type of meat thermometer known for their temperature range and reasonable price. Although this meat thermometer might not be the fanciest out of the digital meat thermometer category, it is arguably one of the best meat thermometers in terms of response time, convenient storage, accuracy tests and budget. This usually comes with a backlit display, and provides stabilized temperature readings.

 

The most modern meat thermometer includes the wireless meat thermometers are the latest innovation in meat temperature-taking. These have a probe that stays in the meat while it cooks, but the readout unit can be placed outside of the oven or grill, so you don’t have to open the door to check on the temperature. These are also usually probe thermometers and some may even have up to four probes. Depending on the meat thermometer, it might even have a different probe length for each probe so that you can cook different types of meat.

 

Regardless of which type of meat thermometer you choose, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. To make the most of your meat thermometer, you’ll want to make sure that you regularly cook with it and calibrate it to ensure that you’ll be getting an accurate temperature reading.

How to stay within your
temperature range

There are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing a meat thermometer in order to get an accurate temperature reading. First, make sure the thermometer is easy to read. The numbers should be large enough to see easily, even in dim lighting. Second, choose a thermometer with both Fahrenheit and Celsius readings. This way, you can use it no matter what recipe you’re following. Finally, pick a meat thermometer that can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the meat without touching bone, fat, or gristle. With these guidelines in mind, you’ll be sure to find the perfect meat thermometer for your needs.
