Meat thermometers typically have a metal probe that is inserted into the meat to measure its internal temperature. Some models may also have a digital display screen, buttons, and a protective casing made of plastic or stainless steel. The probe is the most important part, as it directly measures the temperature of the meat.
Mercury meat thermometers are typically glass with a silver line that expands when heated by the meat. If you suspect your meat thermometer contains mercury, do not use it and dispose of it properly according to your local regulations for hazardous waste.
You can clean a glass thermometer by washing it with warm, soapy water and rinsing it thoroughly. Ensure that the thermometer is completely dry before storing it. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to clean the thermometer.
Using materials with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, such as certain metals like nickel, will provide greater sensitivity in a thermometer. These materials will change their dimensions more in response to temperature variations, resulting in a more noticeable change in the reading of the thermometer.
Temperature is the quantity typically measured by a thermometer.

No, a candy thermometer and a meat thermometer are not the same. A candy thermometer is designed to measure high temperatures for making candy, while a meat thermometer is used to measure the internal temperature of meat for cooking.
Yes, a meat thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of oil.
A candy thermometer is used to measure high temperatures for making candy, while a meat thermometer is used to measure lower temperatures for cooking meat to a safe level.

basically, a Bimetallic Stemmed thermometer is a thermometer that is used when cooking meats- like turkey (well turkey is poultry, but that is not the point) . They have a long stem that you poke into the meat and there is a dial on the top that tells you how hot the inside of the meat is.
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.
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.
Yes, a meat thermometer can go in the oven to accurately measure the internal temperature of the meat being cooked.
To accurately determine the internal temperature of your meat using a meat thermometer, insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching bone or fat. Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize, which usually takes a few seconds. The temperature displayed on the thermometer is the internal temperature of the meat.

Use a regular thermometer to test your body (or a child's body) for fever. Use a meat thermometer when cooking meat, and an outdoor thermometer to check the weather outside.
