Prepare Your Meals To Perfection With A Cooking Thermometer

The outer appearance of your food creations may be deceiving. Meals involving meat can often appear to be fully cooked and have a nice, golden brown colour to them, however it may not have been fully cooked. A cooking thermometer is used to measure the temperature of your meals. Some cooking thermometers such as meat temperatures enable you to measure the internal temperature of your food items to provide an accurate indicator of how well cooked your food is.

Types of Cooking Thermometers

Depending on what you're preparing, there's a thermometer out there for you. There are many different types of cooking thermometers including:

• Meat thermometers: Typically used to measure the internal temperature by inserting a rod into the meat.
• Oven thermometers: Instead of measuring the internal temperature of your food, this type of thermometer is placed in your oven to measure the air temperature to ensure it has heated to the desired temperature.
• BBQ Thermometer: Combining the use of both meat and oven thermometers, these thermometers can measure both the internal temperature of barbecued meats and may also be used to measure the surface temperature of your barbecue.

Combining Accuracy and Convenience With a Digital Thermometer

The design of the manual thermometer has developed into multiple designs. A digital thermometer allows you to easily identify the temperature of both your culinary creations and your cooking appliance such as your oven or barbecue. This digital design has developed even further into including a wireless thermometer design. These typically communicate the temperature via Bluetooth to an application. They are easy to use, versatile and convenient for those moving around the kitchen.

Cooking Thermometers FAQs

What are the benefits of cooking thermometers?

Undercooked meats can cause serious illness when not prepared correctly. Meats often may need to be cooked at specific temperatures to eliminate bacteria that can be found inside meats. Cooking thermometers can ensure the internal temperature of the meat is the ideal measurement to prevent illness as well as the "doneness" of your culinary creation.

Cooking thermometers also ensure that you don't overcook your meals, allowing you to enjoy the optimal flavour of your meat and other ingredients.

What type of thermometer is most accurate?

When comparing the types of cooking thermometers, most can agree that digital thermometers are the most accurate in measuring the temperature of food due to their ability to measure temperatures to a more precise degree. Usually, the accuracy of your food thermometers is indicated on the packaging, and they are often accurate within 1 degree Celsius. To ensure accuracy, you can test your thermometer before use.
