What Is an Instant Read Meat Thermometer?
An instant read meat thermometer is a device used to determine the internal temperature of a piece of meat during cooking. This is typically used to ensure that meat is cooked to a certain level of doneness either for preference or for safety reasons. Different types of meat are often cooked to different internal temperatures to ensure that any potential bacterium within the food has been destroyed and that it is safe for eating. The guidelines and legal requirements for necessary meat temperatures vary by country and should be considered by professional and home cooks alike.
