Review on 🌡️ Cuisinart CSG-100 Surface Temperature Gauge by John Jones

is a rather poorly designed surface thermometer. It is always somewhere between 25-50° below the actual surface temperature of the pot. I suspect this is because the "flat" surface in contact with the pan isn't actually flat. The only part of the thermometer that comes in contact with the pan is the 2mm rim around the outside of the bottom of the thermometer, so this is the only place it comes in contact with the heat to read it. When I put my tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, there is no such "insulation" between the frying pan and the oil, and if the thermometer reads wrong I immediately get oil that immediately burns...in one case it hit my ceiling , because the skillet was much hotter than the smoke point for that particular oil. Accuracy matters. ESPECIALLY when cooking.
