Brand: KitchenAid

KitchenAid Leave-In meat thermometer is the only kitchen measurement tool that will help cook meat to the correct temperature and give peace of mind about food safety. The 3” dial with a tempered, glass lens is safe to leave in the oven or grill during cooking. The pointer will slowly move as the internal temperature of the roast or poultry rises. Full stainless steel construction is durable. Cooking temperatures are printed right on the dial for quick reference. Nsf listed. Important: thermometer will be hot after use. Use potholders or oven mitts when handling hot thermometer.TIPS FOR USE: At room temperature, the pointer will rest at the bottom of the dial. If the piece of meat is colder than room temperature, the pointer will spin counter-clockwise into the number scale–the thermometer is not broken. Since this thermometer is meant to be left in foods DURING cooking, the pointer will not instantly move and will require a longer period of time to register the temperature.

Buyer Guide meat thermometer

When buying a meat thermometer, there are a few things you should consider first.

• Price. Price is the first thing you should consider. The more expensive the thermometer, the better it will be.
• Temperature Range. The temperature range of the thermometer will determine the kinds of meats you can cook.
• Accuracy. Accuracy is very important as well. The thermometer’s accuracy will determine how well it will cook the meat.
• Look. The thermometer’s look is also important.

How to choose meat thermometer

 When choosing a meat thermometer, it’s important to choose one that provides an accurate temperature reading. Many meat thermometers use internal probes to indicate the temperature of the meat.

• Make sure the probe is long enough. Most meat thermometers come with probes that can measure the internal temperature of meat. However, if the probe is too short, it will pierce the meat and will not be able to accurately measure the temperature.
• Make sure the probe is flexible. Probes that aren’t flexible can pierce the meat, which can lead to inaccurate measurements.
• Make sure the probe doesn’t have metal in it. Metal in the probe can cause inaccuracies due to the metal’s conductivity.
• Make sure the probe is easy to clean. Most meat thermometers will have probes that are dishwasher safe. However, if you have a small probe, it can be challenging to clean.
• Make sure the probe is long enough to reach the thickest part of the meat. Most meat thermometers come with probes that can reach up to 1.5 inches thick. However, if the probe is too short, it will pierce the meat and never reach the thickest part.
• Make sure the probe doesn’t touch the bone. If the probe touches the bone, it can influence the reading.
• Make sure the probe doesn’t touch a metal surface.
• Make sure the probe doesn’t touch any source of heat.
• Make sure the probe doesn’t touch the outside of the oven.
• Make sure the probe isn’t based on a Fahrenheit measurement. Most meat thermometers use a Celsius measurement.
• Make sure the probe is 1?4 inch to 3?4 inch long. However, if the probe is too long, it will pierce the meat and not be able to accurately measure the inside temperature.

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.
