Well-cooked meat is very healthy. That means it must not be burned and should not taste too dry because of the taste. For this reason, more and more consumers are also using the barbecue in their garden Grill thermometer , This device is able to measure the cooking or the core temperature exactly. Especially if the meat was very expensive, which you put on the grill or just want to shine in front of the relatives or friends at the barbecue, it would also be good that the meat is cooked through perfectly, so not too dry. Because at the grill on the domestic gas or electric grillyou can do a lot wrong. The thermometerBut that ’s also a nice thing because it‘ s so stress – free and without having to deal with it forkTo pierce or cut it with a knife to check if it is. In addition one loses, if one too often the cover of one kettle grilllifts up too much time, because then again and again temperature escapes and extends the grilling time. Grill thermometer There are now in the analog and the digital version. For which of the two variants one decides is a matter of preference in the application. Among the digital variants, there are still some distinctions. So there is
The wired version, the digital radio Grill thermometer and the thermometer with digital infrared technology. And of course this again extends the selection range before a purchase and makes it a bit difficult.

Analog or digital?

First, before buying one Grill thermometer the question be clarified – analog or digital? If you are more into the simple technique, you will of course use an analogue device that is particularly suitable for measuring the core temperature, but not for the individual steak, but rather if the grilled food is on one rotisserieor in a BBQ Smokersfor monitoring the temperature in the cooking chamber. The analogue devices are also very well suited for measuring the meat temperature through the lid of a kettle grill. In this case, they are usually referred to as a lid thermometer. The digital devices will be a bit more technical. Because either it is Grill thermometer wired or works via radio or infrared. Since digital, the functions are a bit more versatile. Because the temperature can then be specified or read in Fahrenheit or Celcius – depending on what is better or what just says the grill instructions for the food.

Equipment digital technology

For devices that work digital, you should have a bit of a look at meat temperature in general. Because even if the handle is actually quite simple by the introduction of a feeler in the food to be grilled, it is then a bit more complicated when reading. For this reason, when purchasing such a device, it is important to ensure that personal needs are met when reading the display. That’s very easy with the analog devices. There, a needle indicates the temperature of the food currently has. This means that when buying a digital device of this kind, it should be ensured that it has the most legible display possible, ie has the largest possible numbers. The reason for this is that the barbecue is often carried out at dusk, in the moonlight or just in very weak garden or terrace lighting and there are no daylight conditions here. Of course, if the display is still lit, that would be another point that can be included in the decision making process when comparing multiple products of this type. In addition to large digits, many barbeque thermometers also have other features, such as an adjustable audible alarm sound, which indicates when the right core temperature has been reached by the meat. When buying, of course, should be taken to ensure that the device has a high heat resistance, ideally up to 300 ° C. Useful is of course also if the barbecue thermometer has a mounting option. Some grill manufacturers have already thought about this and provided appropriate eyelets on the grills or left places where such a device can be attached with the help of magnets. Of course, depending on the price, a barbecue thermometer has even more features, such as a quick choice for selecting the type of meat whose temperature is to be measured on the grill. With some devices it is even possible that different cooking levels (ie rare, medium-rare, medium and well done) can be monitored. Practically, of course, a handset, the base of the device remains on the grill and the handset can be taken by belt clip to the other end of the garden or in the apartment. If you want this, you should, however, at the then eligible devices to check how far the range is. For most devices, it is not more than 100 m.

Unnecessary features left out

Meanwhile, some manufacturers have also over-developed the digital barbecue thermometer. In other words, features are offered that are of no use to most consumers when they are cooking with relatives or friends. So some devices have presets, such as the language setting. Some devices are equal to five languages. In addition to German you can also choose English, French, Spanish and Danish here. This may well make sense in a multilingual household or for a provider who also offers his equipment in other European countries. When buying a barbeque thermometer you do not have to pay attention to such details. One reason for this is that these devices are otherwise identical with other devices from the same manufacturer, but much more expensive. That means when you buy such a device you should not deal with such trifles, but can certainly look at the price, with the very cheap devices just provide correspondingly little or almost no additional features in addition to the display of meat temperature. And if you absolutely need a device that indicates the temperature in Fahrenheit, is questionable. However, device manufacturers are also selling their products to countries where Fahrenheit is the primary indicator of temperature, such as the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In Europe, the temperature is given in degrees Celcius and everyone can do something with it. Of course, there are also devices that are in contact with Bluetooth via Bluetooth Smartphoneor tabletproduce. This is of course a fine thing, but here is questionable where the barbecue fun. Because according to the opinion of many makes the barbecue only really fun, if you stand on the grill and can watch how the delicious meat on the grid is so slow.

Conclusion

If you want to have perfectly well-cooked meat in order to shine with his barbecue art in front of his friends or family, you should think about buying a barbecue thermometer. There are simply analog devices, but also digital devices. Especially with the digital devices must be weighed strongly, what you really need features for barbecues. Ultimately, the features on these bones decide how expensive the device is. Too much on technology interpret the grill should not – this is the grill fun detrimental!
