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

 
Maintaining your meat thermometer is easy. Always wash your hands after touching your meat thermometer and allow it to dry thoroughly before storing it. Always clean your meat thermometer before you store it. To do this, remove the needle and dunk it in a bowl full of hot water. After the needle is removed, clean the thermometer with a paper towel. If needed, use a toothpick to remove food particles from the needle before putting it back into the meat thermometer.

• Store your meat thermometer in a dry place away from direct sunlight. A dark cabinet or drawer is fine.
• Store your meat thermometer away from other items that are likely to spill on it.
• Never store your meat thermometer in a plastic bag.
• Never store your meat thermometer in a glass or metal container.
• Don’t leave your meat thermometer on the countertop.
