Instant Read Thermometers

 

In virtually every post I write about cooking, whether it is barbecue or another one of my favorite meals, I talk about just how important monitoring temperature is.

I cannot stress this enough. Perfect steak, chicken, pork, veggies, and even breads are made through monitoring temperature.

You do not have to be a Michelin Star winning Chef to cook the best steak you’ve ever had.

This guide aims to equip you with the most important thing to use in your decision making: knowledge.

Let’s dive right in…

What To Look For In A Thermometer

The criteria is simple:

Find what the Pros use and celebrate gleefully when you realize it is within budget.

Seriously, I’ve been to a lot of competitions and there are common tools among award winning cooks.

When it comes to Thermometers, I trust ThermoWorks.  I found ThermoWorks when I first dove into the Competition BBQ and haven’t looked back. I’ve used a dozen different makes and styles of thermometers, some have pretty amazing features, but I will continue to invest in their gear because of the results.

ThemoWorks Calibration lab has even received some top accreditations.  Yes, it’s a thing.

After all, if you have a chance to win $10,000 for the perfect steak, wouldn’t you want to know your gear is up to par?

That’s besides the point, as with most things in life, there is a Good, Better, Best when it comes to thermometers.

Here’s the breakdown…
