Tips for Using a Food Thermometer

A thermometer is a useful kitchen tools for every home cook, but to get the most use out of it, it’s important to understand how to use one properly. Meat thermometers are important not only for making sure your food cooks correctly, but also that it’s safe to eat. A thermometer should be inserted at least ½ inch into the center of the thickest part of the food. To get an accurate reading, make sure it’s not touching any fat or bone. With the dial thermometer, you’ll need to wait about 15 to 20 seconds to get the correct temperature. For food thermometers, digital devices work more quickly, typically giving the temperature in about 5 seconds. Make sure the meat has heated to a safe temperature before eating.
