About Food, Catering & HACCP Thermometers
It is essential to use a food thermometer when cooking meat, poultry, and egg products to prevent undercooking, verify that food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature, and consequently, prevent foodborne illness. This might be a thermometer with a between-pack probe for checking incoming deliveries, a fridge thermometer to monitor your storage temperatures or a penetration probe for your food preparation and service
Food probes come in a variety of options depending on your budget and requirements. Some factors to take into consideration when purchasing a penetration probe are the level of speed and accuracy you would like, the durability of the casing, and whether you would like to use one unit with several interchangeable probes for different applications.
Most available food thermometers will give an accurate reading within 2 to 4 ℉. The reading will only be correct, however, if the thermometer is placed in the proper location in the food. If not inserted correctly, or if the food thermometer is placed in the wrong area, the reading will not accurately reflect the internal temperature of the food. In general, the food thermometer should be placed in the thickest part of the food, away from bone, fat, or gristle.
It's important to look after them properly to ensure they continue to keep your food safe. Wiping your probe clean after every use with anti-bacterial probe wipes will prevent contaminating food with harmful bacteria.
