Common questions

Questions before you buy

Can it check meat doneness?

No. Use a suitable probe for internal temperature.

What is distance-to-spot ratio?

It describes the area averaged from a given distance.

Why is shiny metal difficult?

Reflective low-emissivity surfaces can mislead infrared sensors.

Can it measure frying oil?

It reads the surface; an immersed probe better represents the bulk oil.
