U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), the U.S. Food Code serves as the
blueprint of guidelines and regulations
that food establishments must follow
to ensure the safe handling and
preparation of food. The 2022 Food
Code §3-501.16 reminds us to not let
cooked food linger in the temperature
" Danger Zone, " a temperature range
of 41°F to 135°F (5°C to 57°C) where
harmful bacteria multiply rapidly,
increasing the risk of foodborne
illness. The simple act of using food
thermometers is crucial in preventing
foodborne illness by ensuring that food
has reached the appropriate internal
temperatures where bacteria are
destroyed, thus reducing the risk of
foodborne illness and promoting safe
cooking practices.

When it comes to cooking, achieving
the perfect temperature is crucial
for both food safety and flavor. Food
thermometers come in various
types, each serving specific cooking
needs and preferences. Whether
you're searing a steak, roasting a
chicken, or making a batch of fudge,
understanding the differences and
utilizing the appropriate thermometer
ensures efficiency and safety.
Key factors to consider when choosing
a food thermometer include accuracy,
speed of readings, and temperature
range. Precision guarantees exact
measurements, while quick readings
can be essential for any time-sensitive
checks. The temperature range should
align with the foods you are preparing.

tasks is crucial; for example,
