These thermometers need to be able to read super high temperatures. On average they will range from -40 all the way to 450 degrees F, You can also use an oil thermometer instead of a candy thermometer sine the temperatures needed for both can be very high.
No
You can read the temp a lot easier.
It really depends upon how well the company calibrates them and other technical factors which apply to specific instruments rather than all. It does make it much easier to read the tempature, which can be rather difficult on older types.
Digital thermometers have the advantage that they are simpler to read and the electrical components used to make them are cheap, accurate, and reliable. An analog thermometer may have ambiguity when you read it because of angle of viewing, difficulty seeing, or many other things while a digital thermometer clearly outputs a single unambiguous number.
Instant read meat thermometers are always digital. The other syle of meat thermometer is analog and it takes time to reach the temperature reading after insertion into the meat.
Digital oven thermometers are very effective because they allow you to pre-heat and have an easy to read way of knowing when your oven is ready. Also if you need to let something sit in the oven to keep warm, you can be sure that it won't overcook as the digital thermometer lets you read the tempurature of the oven.
To read temperature...
Contributed by 1st grader Mackenzie and her mom Julie: There are circle thermometers which are like a clock and you read the numbers from left to right. There are stick thermometers that go under your tongue, your arm pit or other body parts. The numbers go from bottom to top. There are digital thermometers that can go in your ear, on your finger or other body parts. There are inside thermometers and outside thermometers to tell the general warmth/coolness of the space/environment. There are different scales - Fahrenheit and Celsius. Thermometers may be used to take a person's body temperature, to tell how warm/cold it is outside or in a room, to test whether food is cooked to a desired temperature to be safe. We hope we helped you.
Almost all of the food thermometers available today are supposed to be inserted into the food. Food thermometers are classified into two groups which are the digital food thermometer and the dial food thermometer. In digital food thermometers, the thermocouple is the common thermometer used in the kitchen among thermistors, oven cord thermometers, and thermometer fork combination. The dial type food thermometer are made with bimetallic cord which are inserted into the food. Some of these dial type food thermometer are safe to go inside the oven while others offer instant read of temperature after few seconds.
The sticker type thermometers are not very accurate and tend to be affected by external temperatures. To better monitor your tank water temperature, you can buy a thermometer that sticks on the inside with suction cups
No some read the temperature as Celsius, some as Fahrenheit, some as Kalvin
The two types of thermometers are the total immersion and partial immersion thermometers. However, they both read temperature the same way!
