Questions before you buy
Does Dollar Tree sell meat thermometers?
Availability varies by location and date. Check the current Dollar Tree website or contact your local store before making a trip.
Can a Dollar Tree food thermometer stay in the oven?
Only if its packaging or instructions explicitly say it is oven-safe. Instant-read thermometers should not be left in the oven.
How can I check whether an inexpensive thermometer is accurate?
Use the manufacturer's calibration instructions when provided. The USDA also recommends checking food in more than one place because temperature can vary within a cut.
Where should a meat thermometer be inserted?
Place the sensing area in the thickest part, away from bone, fat and gristle. For thin food, inserting from the side can help reach the center.
