How to choose meat thermometer

 A meat thermometer measures the internal temperature of the meat to ensure it’s cooked thoroughly. If you plan on cooking steaks, roasts, pork chops, chicken breasts, or other meats, a meat thermometer will help you cook them evenly and consistently.

• Length: The longer the meat thermometer, the better. The longer the thermometer, the easier it will be for you to check the temperature of the meat.
• Knob: Meat thermometers with a knob are easier to handle. A knob also makes turning the thermometer easier, especially if yours is battery-operated.
• Battery life: With most meat thermometers, you’ll want to invest in ones that have rechargeable batteries.
• Temperature range: Ideally, the temperature range of your meat thermometer should cover any temperature you plan on cooking your meat to.
• Accuracy: Most meat thermometers are accurate to 2?F. The accuracy of your thermometer will depend on how accurate the thermometer you use is.

How accurate is the thermometer?

• A good meat thermometer will register when the meat reaches 160?F.
• A mediocre meat thermometer will register when the meat reaches 140?F.
• A bad meat thermometer will register when the meat reaches 130?F.

 

How to maintain meat thermometer

If you eat a lot of meat, a good meat thermometer is an essential kitchen tool. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of any meat you’re cooking.

• Use a digital meat thermometer if you’re only cooking for one or two people. Digital thermometers have small screens that show the temperature reading, and a digital readout makes it easy to set and retrieve a precise internal temperature. If you’re cooking meat for a larger group, a digital meat thermometer may not be the best option.
• Use a meat thermometer with a probe. A probe-style meat thermometer allows you to insert the tip of the thermometer directly into the meat. These thermometers are a bit more delicate than digital meat thermometers, so it’s important to handle the probe with care.
• Wash your meat thermometer. Before storing your meat thermometer, be sure to wash it with hot, soapy water to remove any leftover food particles.
• Store your meat thermometer in a cool, dry place. If you store it in the refrigerator, be sure to avoid placing the probe tip directly in the vegetable drawer, as the temperature in there can be much hotter than the rest of the refrigerator.
• Keep your meat thermometer clean. Before you store or use your meat thermometer, be sure to remove any pieces of food and wipe it down with a moist towel to remove any buildup.
