生活小贴士:如何使用食品温度计Food Thermometer

作者:John    文章来源:方向标英语网    点击数:    更新时间:2009-11-30 【我来说两句

 

To register an accurate temperature, the temperature-sensing section on the probe end of instant-read thermometers should be fully inserted into food. Instant-read DIGITAL thermometers are easiest to use with THIN food, such as ground beef patties and boneless chicken breasts. On digital instant-read thermometers, the sensing section is only about 1/2 to 1 inch long while it's between 2 to 3 inches long on dial thermometers. Check manufacturer's instructions for more information.

Leave an instant-read thermometer inserted for about 15 to 20 seconds to register an accurate temperature.

If you insert and re-insert an instant-read thermometer into several foods or the same food, wash with hot soapy water between insertions to prevent cross-contamination from food that's not done to food that's done.

It's easier to read the numbers on a digital thermometer face than on a dial thermometer. Digital instant-read thermometers tend to cost slightly more than dial instant-read thermometers and are battery-operated. While dial instant-read thermometers are readily available in many stores, you're more likely to find digital thermometers in "kitchen" stores or stores with "kitchen sections."

Oven-Proof Dial Thermometers

Place oven-proof dial thermometers into food at the beginning of cooking and leave them throughout the cooking period. Their temperature-sensing coil on the probe portion is between 2 and 2 1/2 inches long and relatively thick. They work best on foods 3 or more inches thick such as roasts and whole or large pieces of poultry.

4. Place Thermometer Correctly

As a general rule, insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the food. If a food is irregularly shaped, you may need to check the temperature in several places. Here are some examples of where to check temperatures:

Whole Poultry: insert into the inner thigh near the breast, but not touching the bone.
Thin Food: insert an instant-read thermometer sideways, or at an angle for thin food such as patties.
Large Roasts, Steaks, Chops: insert in the center of the thickest part, away from bone and fat.
Casseroles and Egg Dishes: insert in center or thickest area.
Allow microwaved food to stand for a few minutes after cooking; this distributes the heat, cooking the food evenly.

NOTE: The small, disposable T-Stick thermometers are intended for use for smaller thin cuts of meat such as hamburgers. Do not use these with thicker cuts where the temperature sensor won't reach the center.
