Review on 🌡️ Infrared Thermometer Gun -58℉~1022℉ - Non-Contact Temperature Gun with LCD Display for Cooking/BBQ/Refrigerator by Jesse Azuse

Bought to replace a dropped and broken Ryobi IR002. Although I have a use for the IR thermometer in the workshop, I mostly use it in the kitchen or on the grill. There are many ways to test a pan as it heats up. The absolute easiest way is to use an electric skillet where you just set the temperature and it stays there. I usually cook on the stovetop so an IR reader is very useful, although hardly any recipe ever quantifies what they mean by "hot pan" for example. In most cases, a 350F pan or 350F oil will suffice for frying. When pans are heated to 425F, they usually smoke or splatter like crazy (which can be dangerous). Pans heat up at different rates: copper, cast iron, stainless steel and aluminum heat up differently, and the thickness of the base also makes a difference. Using such an IR reader is very useful. It is also great for grilling or smoking. This tool is way better than my tried and tested Ryobi. The laser is bright with a clear pattern. You know exactly where you are measuring. The circle pattern is a useful reminder that it reads a cone, not a point. I like it. There are many features I have yet to use. I look forward to reading the manual. For now the obvious IR temperature sensor is what I needed and it's great at a good price. If you're using it on a piece of meat, remember that it shows the surface temperature. This can be very useful when you start cooking something to predict the end time. Also good for tasks like brine to make sure the temp is really low. Use the internal thermometer to check meat doneness, not this IR reader. Sometimes the butter needs to be room temperature, in which case you can't guess with the thumb-squeeze test. Just measure it. Another use is to quickly check a freezer or refrigerator during a power outage or immediately after a power outage. If the contents are left cold enough, you don't have to spend all that money throwing things away just to be safe. Be sure, sure, but if you can actually take the temperature, there's no need to guess. (Don't open these doors when the power is out, but once a day would be useful information.) Revane asked three specific questions about this tool: 1. Accuracy? 5 Stars. Tested on many things, some at known temperatures, and all matched.2. Easy to use? 5 Stars. Set the temperature and remove it. You need to read the manual for some settings.3. The price of money? 5 Stars. I chose this tool after comparing similar items. The best combination of performance and value. good tool. It will be a good gift for a chef or handyman or a family grill master. There is also a protective case that fits, but I haven't tried it. It seems perfect for Father's Day, a birthday, or a holiday like Christmas. I hope that the ideas presented in this review are useful to you. All the best. Be sure to prepare.
