Is the best type of meat thermometer digital or analog?
Both are perfectly acceptable. A digital thermometer may measure to a tenth of a degree, but this is of no importance when cooking meat. What matters is that the meat gets to the necessary USDA-recommended internal temperature, and for this an accuracy of only a few degress is required. The only exception to this would be an analog thermometer that can be left in the meat during cooking, because the electronics and cases of digital thermometers can't take the heat.
