When we got back we felt refreshed and ready to get back to everyday life. I was especially ready to get back to my kitchen! I love cooking and I didn't get to for a week. We had some great food on vacay, but I would rather cook dinner myself because I know all the ingredients that went into it. :)
One of my first meals back required that I use a thermometer to make sure that the meat was cooked, so I opted to test out my new Alpha Grillers Digital Meat Thermometer that I got for free to review!
This is an instant-read thermometer that you stick into your meat to see if it's done. I was making a pork tenderloin, and the recipe said "Cook for 45 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit." Obviously this calls for a thermometer!
No! Thank you! :)
It came with a temperature chart for different types of meats.
Here it is in use. I took my pork tenderloin out of the oven and checked the temp. The thermometer is easy to use. I just unfolded it (after washing the probe), turned it on, and stuck it in the middle. The temperature instantly climbed and stopped at 143.8. It wasn't to the desired temperature yet so I threw it back in the oven for ten more minutes! When I pulled it out, it was at 161 degrees. Perfect!
This is the finished product. My husband remarked that it was possibly the best pork tenderloin I've ever made. I usually use an analog thermometer and it takes awhile to get a reading. This was so much easier.
My rating: 5/5
Pros: Folds for easy storage, digital means it reads fast, temp chart, easy to use.
Cons: None
I loved this thermometer! If you're interested in getting one for yourself, you can purchase one here.
