What are the differences between a meat thermometer and a candy thermometer, and how do they affect their respective uses in cooking?
A meat thermometer is designed to measure the internal temperature of meat to ensure it is cooked safely, while a candy thermometer is used to measure the temperature of sugar syrups for making candies. The main difference is the temperature range each thermometer can measure accurately. Using the wrong thermometer can result in inaccurate readings and affect the outcome of the dish being prepared.
Can you use Candy thermometer in place of a meat thermometer?
No, because candy and meat thermometers are not capable of measuring ambient temperature, they must have contact with the object whose temperature it is gauging You can purchase an oven thermometer relatively cheaply at many discount retailers or cooking specialty stores.
Can you use a meat thermometer to measure body temperature?
Probably would work but would take a very long time because the difference between a meat thermometer and a normal thermometer is that the meat one is all metal versus the human variations that have mercury or some other type of liquid that is not harmful to the human body. But they are definitely not all metal like the meat thermometers. Dont see why it wouldn't work in the rectum as long as you've got alot of patience :) Good luck with that!
How do you check if the cooking is done?
You would test various foods differently to check for doneness.

There are many ways to check foods to see when they are done.
How can I ensure the meat is cooked to perfection when using a leave-in meat thermometer?
To ensure the meat is cooked perfectly with a leave-in meat thermometer, insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching bone or fat. Follow the recommended cooking temperature for the type of meat you are cooking. Wait for the thermometer to reach the desired temperature before removing the meat from the heat source.
Can a meat thermometer go in the oven?

When would you use regular thermometer?
