There are several types of food thermometers available, the most common of which are digital thermometers and dial thermometers with metal punches. All food thermometers must be capable of measuring temperatures from 0 ° F (-17.7 ° C) to 220 ° F, but that is not limiting, there are other dial rod thermometers that can measure temperatures from 100 ° F to 700 ° F, being within that category those that measure from 50 ° F to 550 ° F.
Dial stem thermometer is usually used
to measure internal temperature of food. The thermometer should range from 50 F
- 550 F. To use this, the tip of the probe is inserted to the meat or dipped in
the soup and then it conducts heat and gives an overestimate temperature of the
food. Most desired meat temperature ranges from 145 F (63 C) to 170F (77 C) and
various cooking temperature differs from the meat type.
