 How to use a kitchen thermometer

While we cook, there are recipes in which knowing the temperature of your food will, to a large extent, guarantee your success. For this we will use kitchen thermometers. From Universo Vitrinor we tell you the keys to use them correctly.

The kitchen thermometer is a utensil that is present in many kitchens. Knowing the temperature of foods will help us see if they need to cook more or are ready. However, it is not always used in the right way. In this post we give you the necessary guidelines to get the most out of it.

The first thing is to know what type of thermometer you have. Ideally, get one that suits your needs. The most common are spike thermometers. These are ideal for meat, they stick inside and give us the temperature. You can put it in the oven or use it outside as well.

There are also specific thermometers for oven with probe. These are more advanced and also work for liquids. For example, for some fried foods it is important to know exactly the grades of the oil to prevent the food from burning on the outside and raw on the inside.

Another option is laser thermometers. In this case they only measure the surface temperature of the food.

Once we know which thermometer we have, we must adapt to its use. If it is a thermometer to insert into food, it must be done in the thickest part. For example, if it's a piece of meat, don't do it near bone, fat, or cartilage.

The precise moment to measure the temperature will be at the end of the cooking time. Then the piece will have already reached a stable temperature and we will know if it will be ready.

Also, some thermometers can be calibrated. To do this, it is necessary to place it in boiling water and check that the temperature is 100ºC. If this were not the case, it would have to be calibrated until it marks that temperature.

One last essential case is to wash it after each use. It will be enough with hot soapy water and then carefully dry it before putting it away. We hope that, from now on, you will get more out of your thermometer and succeed with your recipes.

The best known are spike or probe thermometers, both analog and digital. The manual or analog type have a metal head with its respective needle and temperature scale in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, as well as symbols that indicate when the meat or protein we are cooking is ready.

As for the digital version, its utility is similar, but it has a series of advances. This thermometer has a digital display, as well as a body and a long probe with a cable. This probe can be left pricked inside the oven in our meat or fish, allowing us to program the temperature and cooking at which we want to prepare our food, and thanks to an alarm, it alerts us when the food is ready (very useful now for cooking properly the Christmas turkey). Also, the long probe allows to measure the temperature of other edible products, such as oil, dough that is fermenting or when preparing caramel.
