Thermometers and Temperatures
Sight, touch and instinct are old-age ways to gauge when
food is done. For consistent results, having a thermometer will make you
a better cook as it is reliable. Over time, by using a thermometer you
will know when things are done to your liking. Moreover, to keep food
safe, you will need to ensure that they are cooked or kept at a safe
temperatures. Guessing the food temperature is not accurate and can
cause food borne illness. Thermometers take the guess work out of
knowing the temperature of the food you are preparing, serving or
eating. All thermometers must be measuring the temperature correctly or
they won't help keep food safe. When you buy a thermometer in the store,
check the degrees it is registering. |
