Grill thermometers measure surface temperature to ensure food is cooked perfectly. There are variations in temperature range, including those that measure core temperature of meat. Some grills have built-in thermometers, but others use removable ones or even remote ones.
Grill thermometers are cooking tools used to measure the surface temperature of a grill to ensure that the cooking temperature is at the right level for the type of food being grilled. Many people who enjoy grilling have learned that there are specific temperatures that are perfect for grilling certain cuts of meat like steak. In order to make sure that the grill is at the right temperature and that the cut of meat is cooked perfectly, you can use a grill thermometer. It’s important to use a grill thermometer because other types of thermometers are often inadequate for measuring the high temperatures that occur on the surface of a hot grill.
There are some variations in the temperature range of grill thermometers. A common range starts at 100 or 200 degrees Fahrenheit (about 38 or 93 degrees Celsius) and can detect a maximum heat of about 800 degrees Fahrenheit (about 427 degrees Celsius). These types of grill thermometers that measure surface temperature often snap to the surface of the grill or stay in place via the force of the magnets built into the thermometers.
There are other types of grill thermometers that are used to measure the core temperature of different cuts of meat as they are being grilled. For example, there are broiler thermometers that are calibrated to test the temperature of poultry and others that are calibrated for cuts of red meat. These types of grill thermometers are often sold in packages that include meat, poultry, and pork thermometers. They have needles that are inserted into cuts of meat where the temperature is taken.
Some grills come with built-in grill thermometers. The thermometer is often located on the outside of the grill so you don’t have to lift the hood to check the surface temperature. This is very useful as the internal temperature of the grill and the surface temperature decrease each time the hood is raised. Some people who have such grills still own removable surface thermometers for the times they’re grilling out at a park or while camping. For those who are serious about grilling and also love gadgets, there are even remote grill thermometers that allow grillers to check the temperature of the grill even when they are in another part of the yard or house.
