Learn about food thermometers

Choosing a cooking thermometer

Food thermometers, also called meat thermometers, are essential kitchen tools for ensuring that your meals are safe, properly cooked, and delicious. They provide an accurate measurement of internal food temperatures, helping to avoid undercooked meals that could pose health risks or overcooked dishes that may lose flavor and texture. Whether you're a home cook or a professional chef, a food thermometer is an invaluable addition to your culinary toolkit. 

Selecting the best meat thermometer for you depends on your cooking needs. There are several main types available. Digital display thermometers are quick and accurate, providing a temperature reading within seconds, making them ideal for checking the doneness of steaks, poultry and fish. Probe thermometers, designed with a long probe, are perfect for larger cuts of meat or roasts. Some models come with an oven-safe probe connected to a digital display, allowing you to monitor temperatures from inside the oven without opening the oven door. Infrared thermometers are contactless devices that measure surface temperatures, making them ideal for checking the heat of cookware or liquids, though they’re not suitable for determining the internal temperature of food. For general home cooking, a digital instant-read thermometer is often the most versatile and user-friendly option.

Using a meat thermometer

To get accurate readings and ensure food safety, it is important to use a food thermometer properly. Before use, check that your thermometer is properly calibrated, as many models allow recalibration to ensure accuracy. Insert the thermometer correctly by placing the probe in the thickest part of the food, avoiding bones, fat or gristle, which can skew readings. You might consider using a meat slicer to make cooking your meat easier, or cooking on a griddle or grill to make access easier. Use a food safety chart to determine the appropriate internal temperature for your dish. For example, poultry should reach 165°F (74°C), while medium-rare steak is done at 135°F (57°C). After each use, wash the probe with warm, soapy water to prevent cross-contamination. With proper care and use, you’ll find that a quality food thermometer, along with other kitchen specialty appliances, takes your culinary endeavors to a new level.
