Although infrared thermometers are a neat gadget, they themselves wouldn’t adequately determine if your chicken is cooked to the right temperature. We should have noted that you would also have to use a probe to determine the internal temperature. Infrared thermometers sometimes come with one. Infrared thermometers are more suited to testing the temperature of dishes like soup or stew as they only read the surface temperature.</p>Johanne NeetesonFri, 19 Jun 2009 15:49:22 -0000http://www.chickenfeeds.ca/2009/06/food-thermometers-and-why-they-are-so-important/#comment-11551433<p>Infared thermometers only give surface temperatures and are not very useful with food as we are concerned with the internal temperature.</p>E NestorThu, 18 Jun 2009 18:39:38 -0000
