There are many types of meat thermometer out there, how should we choose among them and how can we make the right choice for our cooking?
Here is the practical guideline for your reference.
WHAT SHOULD WE CONSIDER BEFORE WE MAKE THE CHOICE?
We need to make the choice based on:
- our budget;
- our practical use context;
If we need to monitor or test the inside temperature of our cooking AND have enough budget, then we need to choose the leave-in thermometer; while on the contrary, we had better choose the instant read thermometer.
WHAT ARE THE SHORTAGES OF THE LEAVE-IN THERMOMETERS?
Before we make the choice, we need to consider the shortcomings of the leave-in thermometer:
- a higher price;
- hard to use, for most of leave-in thermometers, we need to make lots of settings of our cellphone, Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi or even our Gateway, especially they are not friendly to the seniors;
- unstable connection;
- easier to get broken;
- easy to lost, for most of leave-in thermometers, they are paired with a dedicated case for charging the probe or storing the probe, if the case is missing or lost, the probe is useless;
WHAT IS THE STRENGTH OF THE LEAVE-IN THERMOMETER?
While its only strength is that we can monitor the cooking temperature through out of our cooking, but for most of our real cooking scenarios and contexts, we just do not need to monitor the cooking temp all the time;
WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS OF THE INSTANT READ THERMOMETER?
As for the instant read thermometer, its attractive features should be:
- instant read the inside cooking temperature for 2~3 seconds or even in only one second;
- easier to use, for most of instant read thermometers, we just need to fold/unfold it and press keys to use, even the kids and the seniors can use them easily and effectively;
- affordable price for most of all users;
- no issues of connection;
- hard to get broken;
- easy to keep and store, as for most of instant read thermometers, we can hang them or attach them on the metal surface such as our refrigerators.
WHAT IS THE SHORTAGE OF THE INSTANT READ THERMOMETER?
The only one shortage of the instant read thermometer is that it cannot help us monitor the cooking temperature through out our whole cooking process.
