Did you know that about 48 million Americans get sick from foodborne illnesses each year? That's roughly 1 in 6 people. Many of these cases could be avoided with proper food safety practices, and the most crucial tool in preventing these illnesses is the food thermometer.
When cooking meat, poultry, and eggs, it is essential to use a thermometer to ensure that your food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature - a vital step for destroying harmful bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. Thermometers also help ensure that food is cooked evenly, reducing the risk of undercooked spots that could harbor pathogens.
Thanks to Taylor Precision, food safety has never been easier. Taylor Precision offers a diverse range of thermometers tailored for every foodservice application, providing you with the confidence that your kitchen operation is up to safety standards.
Digital Thermometers
- Provide quick and accurate readings within a few seconds. Digital thermometers are simple to read with digital displays and are ideal for checking the internal temperature of a wide range of foods including meats and poultry.
Analog Thermometers
- Analog thermometers, also known as dial thermometers, are a reliable and cost-effective option that do not require batteries. Featuring a metal probe with a dial that displays the temperature. They take longer to read than digital thermometers and are often used for oven and grill monitoring but are durable and build for long lasting use.
Thermocouples
- Thermocouple thermometers measure temperature rapidly and are highly accurate. They are versatile, good for use in both food storage and cooking applications. They are also effective for a wide temperature range, from very high to very low temperatures.
Infrared Thermometers
- Infrared thermometers provide a quick and convenient way to measure surface temperatures from a distance. They detect thermal radiation, allowing you to gauge temperatures without physical contact. Ideal for checking pots, food temperatures, or equipment, they offer fast, accurate readings without hassle.
Probe Thermometers
- Often used for continuous, real-time monitoring, these thermometers come with a probe that remains in the food while it cooks, ensuring precise and accurate readings throughout the cooking process.
Each type of thermometer offers unique benefits that cater to different needs and preferences in foodservice operations. Taylor Precisions wide range of reliable, high-quality foodservice thermometers cover all your temperature measuring needs, so you have peace of mind while operating your foodservice.
