Buyer Guide meat thermometer

 If you’re shopping for a meat thermometer, this guide will give you all the information you need.

• Type of thermometer needed. Meat thermometers can come in many types.
• Digital or Analog? Digital thermometers are more versatile. They allow you to monitor temperatures remotely from your smartphone. The downside is that digital thermometers cost around $30. Analog thermometers are cheaper, but you may need a meat probe to place in the meat.
• Room Temperature. If you plan on using your thermometer in your refrigerator or freezer, make sure the thermometer is accurate to 0?F. Otherwise, the thermometer may not give you accurate readings at all.
• 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.

 

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

 
Unlike electronic devices, meat thermometers don’t come with instructions. So, it’s important to know how to properly maintain and care for your meat thermometer to ensure that it works properly every time you use it.

There are three important things you can do to maintain and care for your meat thermometer:

• Clean it regularly: The probe that comes with your meat thermometer should be cleaned regularly, as well as the device itself. If your thermometer has removable parts, remove the detachable parts and clean them separately.
• Replace the probe: Over time, the probe of your meat thermometer can wear out and break, which can result in inaccurate measurements. If your probe becomes loose or breaks, replace your unit with a new one.
• Store it carefully: The probe of your meat thermometer should be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use. Some meat thermometers come with storage cases that help keep the probe protected.
