Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pie Co., a family-run artisan bakery in Oakham, needed a simple and reliable way to monitor their walk-in refrigerators after their old analogue thermometers became inaccurate. They needed a solution that was easy for all staff to read and durable enough for a busy baking environment.
"We popped one of these in each of our fridges. They're dead simple to read and the hook is surprisingly useful. It’s taken one more worry off my plate, and I know our ingredients are being stored safely."
Michael Davies – Head Baker
The switch resulted in more consistent temperature logs and zero ambiguity during their last health inspection, ensuring their ingredients remained perfectly chilled and fresh.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy a Truly Waterproof Design Is a Must-Have
You often see equipment described as 'splash-proof', but what does that really mean for a thermometer living inside a fridge? The Hygiplas CB891 is fully waterproof, and that makes a huge difference. Think of it like the difference between a raincoat and a diver's wetsuit. A raincoat handles a shower, but a wetsuit is designed for total immersion. Because this thermometer is properly sealed, it’s completely unfazed by the constant condensation and humidity inside a commercial fridge or freezer. This means it won't fail when you need it most, and crucially, you can wash and sanitise it properly without fear of water getting in, which is vital for preventing cross-contamination and upholding hygiene standards.
