Is It Done Yet? (Cave Tools Thermometer Review)

Since I've been a mom, I've been concerned over cooking things properly for my children. Is the baby food mushy enough? Is the formula too cold? Are the grapes cut small enough? However, I've never used a food thermometer to check the temperature of meat. Well, enough of that! I got myself a Cave Tools digital thermometer.

Not having a thermometer for so long, it does take some discipline for me to use it (mostly to remember I have it to use). I have been using my Instant Pot a lot since the baby's birth and that's given me time and space to use the thermometer. I plan to start making my own yogurt in my Instant Pot so this is going to come in handy for making sure the milk is at a high enough temperature and then cooled to a low enough temperature in that process. 

way hot enough for chicken
 I like how sleek it is; it doesn't take up much room in my overflowing kitchen drawers. The thermometer is 100% stainless steel, waterproof, shatterproof. I keep it alongside my Instant Pot cord and accessories so I see it often. It's very easy to use - just turn it on and stick it in. There is a 4-6 second read on it, so it doesn't take long to make sure your food is safe.

I can't think of a thing I dislike about it. The battery is a replaceable watch battery so this thermometer has the capacity for a long lifetime! The digital display is easy to read, as you can see in my pictures. 
I did just read that turkey is supposed to be at 165...oops...helps to know these things prior to reading, but no one got sick. So maybe other parts were at 165 and I should have used the MAX button on the thermometer. 
You can use this for candy making, yogurt making, meat, chocolate, liquids, deep fryers (although we did not use this in the oil when my brother-in-law deep fried our turkey; this is not long enough for that but we did use it after the fact), etc. So when you decide to buy yours, you can find it at Amazon (get 15% off using the code LH58KB66) or on the Cave Tools website
