OXO Good Grips Chef's Precision Digital Instant Read Thermometer, Metallic Black, 25.4 x 10.9 x 1.8 cm

Product Information

The best meat thermometers had easy to press buttons, clearly labelled or identifiable parts and no sharp edges or gaps. Setting your desired cooking time and temperature, or configuring the alarm to sound once your target temperature is reached, could not be easier. The alarm is piercing but clear and not unpleasant. And we noticed no problems with accuracy during our testing (though the thermometer measures only whole degrees, not tenths, so minute fluctuations were harder to detect). Dual-channel probe thermometers with two probes, one for taking the internal temperature of the meat as it cooks and another for reading the ambient cooking temperature, while displaying readings on a digital unit

A traditional dial probe, this thermometer has a wide display with readings to show when everything from fresh turkey to veal and cooked ham are ready to come out of the oven. The display doesn’t rotate or light up, two features that are much missed, but is to be expected at this budget price point. The thermometer is also powered by a 3-volt CR2032 battery, rather than one or two ultracommon AAA batteries, like every other model we looked at.This is a bigger-budget gadget that foodies froth over, making it a cool gift for the carnivore chef in your life. Marissa Rothkopf Bates, Taking the Temperature of the Mighty Thermapen, Newsweek, February 20, 2014 This digital meat thermometer is designed with a 225-degree rotating probe, as well as a rotating screen. Not only does that mean you'll be able to use the device with either hand, but it also means you won't have to touch the probe after removing it from the meat. The thermometer is also able to produce results in as little as 2 to 3 seconds. Once we were finished cooking, we also went through the process of cleaning and storing them, to see how well they could withstand those everyday maintenance. Is a meat thermometer worth it?

Both thermometers were used to measure the temperature in Celsius of cold tap water, warm tap water, boiled water and boiling water and the results were compared. The large digital readout will never be upside down, no matter what angle the probe is at since it jumps to the correct angle.Linked via the Meater phone app, the probe stays in the meat or fish as it cooks and sends a signal to your handset with a cooking time countdown, an alert to remove from the heat and optimum FoodSafety.gov has a Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures Chart that you can reference at any time. Generally, at approximately 145 degrees Fahrenheit, seafood, fresh beef and lamb, fresh pork and fresh ham are deemed safe to eat. Cook ground meats and egg dishes to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Ground poultry, fresh poultry, pre-cooked ham and leftover casseroles should be cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The newest model, the Thermapen One, is the best yet. All the classic, top-notch features are here: a display that automatically rotates in four directions so the temperature is always face-up, a perfect size and ergonomic shape for large or small hands, a rubberized ring to aid in gripping, easy access to changing settings (whether you want Fahrenheit or Celsius, whether it should measure whole degrees or tenths) and the calibration tool. But now it’s even faster, giving you a solid reading in just over 1 second (upwards of three times faster than the previous, lightning-fast MK4). It also has a much brighter auto-on light and it’s been redesigned to work better with induction cooktops.
