Probe and infrared readings in one handheld tool
The two measurement methods serve different purposes: the probe checks inside food, while infrared measures a surface. Select the appropriate method rather than using a surface reading to establish internal doneness.
Two measurement formats
Probe and infrared functions are combined.
Timing controls
A timer and target-temperature alert support monitoring.
Visible display
A backlit LCD shows readings in lower light.

Choosing your option
Use the probe correctly for internal food temperature and verify safe cooking guidance independently of preset doneness labels. Infrared readings show surface temperature only. Confirm heat and water-exposure limits for the body and probe.
Questions, answered
Can the IR detector confirm a steak's internal temperature?
No. It measures the surface; use the contact probe for an internal reading.
Are the presets a food-safety guarantee?
No. Confirm the target for the food and measure it correctly rather than relying on a preset label alone.
