Food Thermometer IHT-1M

No, the infrared sensor is designed to measure surface temperatures only. It works best for checking the heat of a pan, a pizza stone, or the surface of a steak, but it cannot penetrate the oven door or measure the internal temperature of food.

The thermometer uses an internal motion sensor to detect when you pick it up or move it, automatically waking the device from sleep mode. When you set it down, it will eventually enter sleep mode to conserve battery life, so you don't have to worry about manually turning it off.

The IHT-1M comes with chef-recommended presets for five specific meat types and five doneness levels, which are fixed. However, you can always use the manual mode to set your own target temperature if you prefer a specific doneness that differs from the presets.

The probe is designed for standard kitchen use and provides a quick, accurate reading for most cuts of meat. While it is sufficient for most steaks, chicken breasts, and standard roasts, you may need to be mindful of depth when probing very large, deep-cut turkeys.

The 250mAh rechargeable battery is designed for efficiency and supports fast charging, taking about one hour to reach a full charge. Depending on your frequency of use, a single charge will typically last for several weeks of regular cooking sessions.

Yes, the device is designed as a 3-in-1 tool, meaning you can use the cooking timer independently or alongside the temperature monitoring features. This allows you to track both the internal temperature of your meat and the overall cooking time simultaneously.
