Hanna Instruments thermometer for food temperature with an ultra-fast type T probe, one model.
HI9350041
This Hanna Instruments thermometer measures food temperature with an ultra-fast type T probe.
A thermocouple measures temperature from the voltage generated where two dissimilar metals meet. It has almost no mass, so it follows a changing temperature almost instantly — which is what a food probe has to do. Type T is the more accurate of the two around food temperatures; type K reaches higher. An ultra-fast probe settles in a couple of seconds, which is what makes checking every item on a line practical rather than theoretical.
Most wrong temperatures are not the instrument's fault. A probe placed too shallow, read before it settled, or put in the thinnest part of a piece of food gives a confident number that was never true of the product.
Insert to the depth marked, into the thickest part, and wait for the reading to stop moving. Check the instrument against an ice-water slurry periodically — that is a real reference point, and it costs nothing.
Insert to the depth marked on the probe and into the thickest part; a shallow reading is the commonest false pass in a kitchen.
Supplied as one model.
