Meat Thermometers for Pork Chops, Tenderloin and Roasts

A fast digital probe suits chops and tenderloin; a leave-in probe is easier for a roast. In either case, measure the centre without touching bone.

A meat thermometer for pork should match the cut and the way you cook. For pork chops or medallions, a thin, quick digital probe makes it easier to find the centre without pushing through the other side. For a tenderloin, check the thickest section; for a roast, a leave-in cooking probe lets you follow the temperature without repeatedly opening the oven.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where should a meat thermometer go in a pork chop?

Insert it into the centre of the thickest part, ideally from the side on a thin chop. Keep the sensing area away from bone and the cooking surface.

What temperature should pork reach in Canada?

Health Canada lists 71°C for pork pieces and whole cuts such as chops, loin and ribs. Check the thickest portion with a clean digital food thermometer.

How do you check pork tenderloin with a thermometer?

Probe the thickest part toward its centre. Check more than one point if the tenderloin varies substantially in thickness.

Can a leave-in thermometer stay in a pork roast?

Yes, if the manufacturer explicitly identifies the probe and cable as oven-safe. The display unit must remain outside the oven unless its instructions say otherwise.
