The Flow of Food

What is a Dimple?

• A facial feature when you smile

• A mark on a food thermometer to show the end of a temperature-sensing area

• A device with metal probes to check temperatures

• Used to check the internal temperature of food

What is an advantage of an Infrared Thermometer that you cannot find in other kinds?

• It measures temperature from a distance

• It can identify whether something is red

• It allows time for the holder of the thermometer to be able to let it sit, so you can do other things

• It has multiple settings and other attachments to use for varieties of things

What is the difference between an Immersion Probe and a Surface Probe?

• Surface Probes measure the temperatures of surfaces, while Immersion Probes measure skin temperature

• Surface Probes measure the temperature of liquids, while Immersion Probes measure temperatures of flat cooking equipment

• Surface Probes measure coolers and ovens, but Immersion Probes measure griddles or pans

• Surface Probes measure temperatures of flat cooking equipment, unlike Immersion Probes, which measure the temperature of liquids

What are the three types of thermometers?

• Time-Temperature Indicator (TTI), Surface Thermometers, Laser/Infrared Thermometers

• Bimetallic Stemmed Thermometers, Thermocouples, Thermistors

• Thermocouples, Thermistors, Distance Thermometers

• Time-Temperature Indicator (TTI), Air Thermometers, Thermistors

What is the boiling point method? (Steps in Order)

• 1. Clean your thermometer

  2. Put water in a pan, and bring to a boil

  3. Put the thermometer in the boiling water

  4. Keep the thermometer in until it reaches 32 degrees

  5. Reset thermometer

• 1. Put clean water in a pot/pan, and bring it to a boil

  2. Put thermometer (or probe) into boiling water

  3. Wait 30 seconds, or until the indicator stops moving.

  3. Adjust thermometer to 32 degrees Fahrenheit

• 1. Clean thermometer

  2. Place in a cup of water

  3. Wait for it to reach 0 degrees Fahrenheit

• 1. Place thermometer in a cup full of ice

  2. Add water to the cup

  3. Check temperature

• 1. Put temperature in a cup of water

  2. Add ice to the mixture

  3. Stir with thermometer and check temperature
