Kitchen Tools

You will need a reliable food thermometer in your kitchen for more than just meat preparation. In general, I prefer digital ones since I find them to be more accurate, but if you have a high quality analog one, you will be fine too. The most basic food thermometer has a range between 50 – 200° F, but if you plan to use your thermometer as a deep fryer thermometer, too, you need to have one which can show temperatures up to 400°F.
