5990 Taylor Five-Star
Commercial Meat Thermometer

The 5990 Taylor Meat Thermometer is part of Taylor's Five-Star Commercial line of kitchen products, which are designed for accuracy, readability, and reliability. These products feature heavy duty construction, large dials and displays, bold graphics, and deluxe features. The 5990 ensures that the meat or poultry that you're cooking has reached the proper temperature or doneness level. This precision analog instrument features tough, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction and a measuring range of 110°F to 216°F. The case portion containing the dial and mechanism is 2-7/8 inches in diameter. Overall length is 5 inches, and the stem length is 4-3/8 inches.

One thing you'll find on the Taylor 5990's dial that doesn't appear on ordinary meat thermometers is a TEST point at 212°F, the boiling point of fresh water at sea level. This represents an easy means of ensuring that your thermometer remains accurate. Please be aware that the boiling point decreases as altitude increases, so if you live well above sea level, the temperature shown when the 5990's stem is placed in boiling water will be lower than 212°F.

The 5990 thermometer is ruggedly constructed, highly accurate, and NSF^® Certified. NSF International is an independent, non-profit company dedicated to public health and safety and a leader in standards development and certification.

For professional quality and accuracy in an analog dial-type meat thermometer, the Taylor 5990 Five-Star Commercial Meat Thermometer is hard to beat. This product comes with a Taylor lifetime warranty.

Please Note: When the Taylor 5990 needs cleaning, hand wash it with detergent.

Caution: This thermometer should never be used in microwave ovens. Also, do not immerse the 5990 in cold water after removing it from hot food. Let the thermometer cool to room temperature first.
