Food Heat Thermometers for Hot Holding and Cooking

A food heat thermometer should measure the food itself, not merely the surrounding appliance. For soups, meat and reheated dishes, a sanitised probe provides the relevant internal reading.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What thermometer measures heat in food?

A digital probe thermometer is usually the most practical tool for internal food temperature.

Can an oven dial measure food temperature?

No. It measures the oven environment, so use a separate probe for the food.

How should a probe be cleaned?

Remove residue, sanitise it and dry it before and after use, following the instrument instructions.

Why does the reading change across a dish?

Large or mixed foods heat unevenly; check the thickest or coldest likely points.
