6.5.2 Thermometer Test Instructions
The use of an accurate meat thermometer for checking food
temperature and a cooking thermometer for checking oil
temperature is highly recommended. The following
procedure will help ensure the accuracy of the thermometer.
To prevent possible food poisoning due to
undercooked meats, always test the cooked food
with a meat thermometer. A thermometer is a
sensitive measuring device which may not work
properly if dropped or otherwise damaged. Make
sure the thermometer is reading accurately before
use. Do not use a meat thermometer for checking
oil temperature.
1. Wearing protective gloves, hold the thermometer by
the dial and insert the thermometer stem into
boiling water.
2. The needle should quickly move to a reading of
212° F (100° C).
3. If the needle stops at a lower temperature, the
thermometer is not working properly. Replace
the thermometer.
Always use a cooking thermometer
to monitor the temperature of
the oil when frying. Do not cook with oil without an
accurate thermometer.
