• Type of thermometer needed. Meat thermometers can come in many types.

• Probe. A meat probe can be attached to your meat. The probe has a temperature probe that connects to the thermometer.
• Probe Size. Different probes have different diameters. The larger the probe, the thicker and more direct contact with your meat it will provide.
• Thermometer. Most meat thermometers come with 3 to 5 probes.
• Battery. Some thermometers use batteries. Some use an AC adapter.
• Cost. Most meat thermometers cost around $10-$30.

• What size are you looking for? Meat thermometers come in a wide range of sizes, ranging from 2 inches to 2 feet. The size you choose will largely depend on how much meat you need to cook, and your storage needs.
• How accurate is the thermometer? Accuracy varies widely between meat thermometers. Some higher-end units have features like colored lights that indicate different levels of doneness. Some higher-end options also store temperature in degrees Kelvin.

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.
