Different Types of Meat Thermometers

When it comes to meat thermometers there is a large selection nowadays.  That means it can be a little tricky to decide what one to purchase if you are not sure what you are looking for.  Below you will find the main types that are available on the market.

Depending on what type of thermometer you select will determine when the thermometer probe is placed into the meat.

Wireless thermometers are designed to have the probe inserted into the meat and then the attached cable is on the outside connected to a digital transmitter.  That means you can carry the transmitter to another room beside you, it doesn’t need to stay beside the oven.

A traditional dial thermometer is like the mercury stick type you use for checking human temperature except it comes with a metal probe.  Most are oven proof which means they can be inserted into the meat and then left there whilst cooking.  If it’s not oven proof then the temperature can be checked when you take the meat out of the oven.

The Digital style meat thermometer ranges in size from small types with talking temperature readings to those with timers, alarms and wireless technology.  The temperature is displayed on a digital screen rather than a dial.

Another type of meat thermometer is the Pop-up style which is commonly used for poultry.  They pop out from the meat when a pre-determined internal temperature is reached.  However, unlike the other styles of thermometers, this type does not display the temperature and it’s also not re-usable.
