Common questions

Questions before you buy

What food thermometer is best for an Australian barbecue?

Use a leave-in or wireless probe for long cooks and an instant-read probe to check several spots before serving. Ensure the stated heat limits suit your barbecue.

Can I use a cooking thermometer for confectionery?

Only if its range, probe length and mounting method suit hot sugar. A clip-on candy thermometer is safer for continuous pan monitoring.

Does a meat thermometer need calibration?

It should be checked periodically and after a drop or extreme heat. Adjust it only through the procedure given by its manufacturer.

Is a lid thermometer enough for barbecue meat?

No. It indicates cooker air near the lid; use a penetration probe to check the centre of the food.
