Digital, Dial & Disposable!

Thermometers are turning up everywhere in today’s kitchens in all shapes and sizes digitals, instant-reads, probes for the oven and microwave, disposable indicators and sensor sticks, pop-ups, and even barbecue forks. They’re high-tech and easy to use.

Some thermometers are meant to stay in the food while it’s cooking; others are not. Some are ideal for checking thin foods, like the digital. Others, like the large-dial thermometer many people use, are really meant for large roasts and whole chickens and turkeys.

Choose and use the one that is right for you!
