With the Chaney 03144 Digital Instant-Read Thermometer, there's no more guessing as to whether or not many types of cooked and refrigerated foods are at a proper temperature for safe eating. Naturally, you can use the 03144 to check virtually any type of cooked meat or fowl. You can also use it for egg dishes and to verify that deli salads are staying cold enough, just to name a couple of uses in foods other than meat. Because it's so versatile, this almost instant-reading digital thermometer will quickly become an essential in your household. You'll like the 03144's soft-touch Sure Grip handle and easy, one-hand operation.

Featuring an 8-inch stainless steel probe sensor, the Chaney 03144 thermometer is excellent for large and thick cuts of meat (such as roasts and ham) and fowl. As mentioned above, it's also recommended for egg dishes and deli salads. You'll like its easy-to-read LCD display with pushbutton selection of °F or °C. You'll also appreciate its quick response time of only 5 to 10 seconds and its wide measurement range of -50° to +392°F (-45° to +200°C). And you'll be secure in the knowledge that this instrument is NSF^® Certified. NSF International is an independent, non-profit company dedicated to public health and safety and a leader in standards development and certification

A thermometer of this type is perhaps the fastest and easiest way to ensure that your meat has cooked to its USDA recommended internal temperatures. With its slender, pointed probe, the 03144 can be inserted deeper into large roasts, for example, than can a fork-type thermometer. For handy reference, the USDA recommended internal temperatures for common meat types are printed on one side of the included protective storage sheath. A table with more extensive meat and fowl listings is on the back of the cardboard insert in the 03144's package. You can also use the 03144 probe thermometer to check the temperature of refrigerated foods to ensure that they are cold enough to prevent bacterial growth and spoilage.

Overall length of this thermometer, including the handle, is 14.25 inches (362 mm). The required AA (1.5V) battery is included and installs securely in the unit's handle. Please note that this thermometer is neither dishwasher-safe nor submersible. To clean it, you simply turn it off and wash the probe portion of the unit with hot, soapy water. To prevent cross-contamination, the manufacturer suggests washing the probe after each insertion.

If you enjoy meat and fowl, egg dishes, deli salads, and lots of other foods, you're sure to enjoy the Chaney Instrument 03144 Instant Read Stainless Steel Probe Thermometer!
