- Digital or Dial Instant-Read
- Fork
- Pop-Up
- Disposable Temperature Indicators
Thermometers are turning up every-where in today’s kitchens in all shapes and sizes — digitals, instant-reads, probes for the oven and microwave, disposable indicators and sensor sticks, pop-ups, and even barbecue forks. They’re high-tech and easy to use. Some thermometers are meant to stay in the food while it’s cooking; others are not. Some are ideal for checking thin foods, like the digital. Others, like the large-dial thermometer many people use, are really meant for large roasts and whole chickens and turkeys.
Choose and use the one that is right for you!
