Cookware: Kitchen Thermometers
admin
Kitchen thermometers are a handy cooking tool that, quite frankly, dont get used enough. You can use a kitchen thermometer to more accurately asses the relative doneness of everything from chicken to steak to swordfish. Once you get used to using them, youll wonder why you ever relied on the old cut and peek method.
Its an almost criminal shame that most people radically overcook most of their meat. Its great that people are aware of the potential dangers of undercooked chicken and pork, but theres really no need to turn your expensive meal into leather. Most food borne bacteria is destroyed well before a piece of chicken becomes leathery and tasteless.
Good food thermometers will even have separate markings for the various types of meat. That way, absolutely all the guesswork is taken out of preparing perfectly done chicken, beef, and pork. Some kitchen thermometers go even further, and make cooking a steak foolproof by having different markings for rare, medium and well-done.
Kitchen Thermometers for Every Use
There are a few different types of kitchen thermometers out there, and you need to be sure you get the right one for your needs. Basically, there are standard kitchen thermometers, deep fry thermometers, and candy thermometers. For general use, a standard kitchen thermometer will take care of most of your needs.
