Infrared food temperature checks help determine temperatures that probe sensors can't reach. The right food temperature measurement equipment is essential for ensuring accurate readings.
About Infrared Food Thermometers
This non-contact infrared thermometer quickly checks the temperatures of seafood, meat, fresh produce, perishables and other food and non-food items. It is hand-held and provides surface measurements from a distance.
Infrared thermometers are also suitable for cold storage containers and commercial HVAC systems.
An NIST traceable calibration certificate can be ordered and received at an additional cost within three days.
Features of Infrared Thermometers With Laser Sight
- Laser sighting control: Laser sighting can be switched on/off for greater accuracy.
- Power consumption: The thermometer maintains ultra-low power consumption in shutdown mode.
- Display: The unit has a backlit LCD display.
- °F/°C switchable: Easily switch between default Fahrenheit and Celcius.
- Temperature data storage: Store temperature readings for quick data access.
- Audible alarms: Receive notifications of errors and issues with readings.
- Accessories: The device includes a soft carrying case for protection.

Applications for Food Infrared Thermometers
- Meat and poultry: Infrared thermometers are commonly used in restaurants and commercial kitchens to measure meat's surface temperature without piercing it.
- Baking: Bakers use infrared food thermometers to check the temperature of baked items to ensure they are thoroughly cooked.
- Quality control: Food processing facilities use these thermometers to monitor food throughout their production and transportation process for compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP).
- Cold storage monitoring: These thermometers can also check that cold storage rooms, containers, refrigerators and freezers are at the optimum food storage temperature.
- HVAC systems: Infrared technology can inspect HVAC systems to assess air temperatures from the ducts, which helps determine the system's efficiency, and detect unusual heat sources to evaluate the possibility of a hazard.
- Industrial equipment: Check the likelihood of machinery and equipment overheating by measuring the temperature from a distance with an infrared thermometer. Electronic equipment can be temperature-checked for the same reason.
- Medical applications: Infrared thermometers can check patients' temperatures without contact or measure the temperature of medical equipment surfaces to determine their sterility.
- Fire safety: Infrared thermometers can identify overheating or flammable equipment or materials to indicate potential fire risks.
