Thermometers

Food thermometers are useful for checking the temperature of meat, wine, jam, sugar craft and more. Although experienced chefs will know from the texture and timing whether a steak or beef is rare or well done, meat thermometers can be a great help and will guide even a novice cook to ensure less food wastage.

In the confectionery business and for many desserts, melted sugar must be at the perfect temperature if it is to be sculpted or worked into beautiful creations. Chocolate must not be allowed to melt at too high a temperature or it will burn and char leaving a bitter taste.

There are also special thermometers which are invaluable for ensuring that ovens, fridges and freezers are operating correctly.
