Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The fold-away probe is brilliant for keeping it safe and  hygienic in a pocket.
  • Con: A 15-second read time is accurate but feels slow compared to premium instant-read models.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour Lights Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to tighten up their food safety procedures and  move away from slow, inaccurate dial thermometers. They equipped their meat prep section with the Hygiplas CF913 red colour coded thermometer to ensure full compliance and  improve kitchen efficiency.

"Having a dedicated, colour-coded thermometer for our raw meat has taken the guesswork out of our prep. The team knows exactly which tool to use, it's fast, and  it gives us confidence that we're meeting every safety standard. It’s a simple tool that has made a big impact on our daily operations."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The bistro successfully passed its next EHO inspection with flying colours, citing their improved, clearly-defined HACCP process. They also noted a significant reduction in time spent on temperature logging.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Open the battery compartment and  insert the included AAA battery, ensuring the polarity is correct.
  • Peel off any protective film from the digital display screen.
  • Unfold the probe to automatically switch the thermometer on.
  • If needed, press the °C/°F button to Select your preferred unit of measurement.

Keeping It Going

  • Always clean the metal probe with a food-safe antibacterial wipe after every use, especially after contact with raw meat.
  • Never submerge the main plastic body of the thermometer in water; it is not waterproof.
  • Store the thermometer with the probe folded away to prevent damage and  maintain hygiene.
  • Replace the battery when the display becomes dim or readings are slow to appear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Kitchen Thermometer

Not sure what to look for in a professional thermometer? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right tool for the job.

Colour-Coded Systems

Using different coloured thermometers for different food groups (e.g., red for raw meat, blue for raw fish) is a cornerstone of HACCP. It's the easiest way to prevent cross-contamination.

Speed vs. Accuracy

In a busy service, every second counts. Look for a thermometer that provides a reading quickly (under 20 seconds) but doesn't sacrifice accuracy (look for ±1°C).

Probe Type and  Size

A pointed-tip penetration probe like this one is perfect for checking the internal temperature of meats. Ensure it's long enough to reach the core of your thickest cuts.

Durability and  Design

Kitchens are tough environments. Features like fold-away probes, wrist straps, and  robust plastic casings help your thermometer last longer and  stay hygienic.

Ease of Use

A good food thermometer for kitchen use should be simple. Look for a large, clear display, straightforward buttons, and  functions like auto-shutoff that make life easier.
