Can this be used to check the temperature of milk in a pot, for making farmers' cheese at home?

I'm not sure what the temperature of farmer's cheese should be (so is it in the range of what the thermo pop can measure); but if the question is can it determine liquid temperatures, the answer is yes and very quickly.

Range is from -58F to +572F with +/- 2 degrees accuracy up to 248F degrees, so I don't see any reason why not. I believe cheese making would be a fine application.

Yes it can. I used it at work also to make sure the ovens were at exact temp.

The answer is NO. This is to be used to observe or read temperature in short term where the dial (working parts) are NOT exposed to DIRECT HEAT as in the internal temp of chicken, candy or other like cases as in checking the internal temp of grilled beef, pork etc.

This is just a guess, because all I've used it for is meats, etc. I don't think the range of the thermometer goes high enough to check frying oil or sugar temperatures. Like I say, this is just a guess...I would have never thought of it (maybe I should get out of the box more!!)

I don't think so, but I have not tried it. It is to measure surface temperature. If you point it at the interior wall, it will measure that temperature, but not air temperature or working temperature.

Should work . Husband even used it to check for heat / coldness of our house windows for drafts . Bit, the main use in our house is temp of oil for chicken wing and deep fryer for Turkey . When he gets it he's checking temps all over even my boobs... Donna lol lol

I haven't had mine that long but I purchased mine to use in making cheese. I have used it three times to make cheese and I have left it in milk until my mixture comes to temp. The directions tell you not to place it on the bottom of the pot. I love it.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

I suppose it depends on what you are making. I've used it to test the temperature of Hollandaise sauce and it worked fine for that purpose.

Nope. It's not intended for that use. Just check the internal temperature about half-hour before end of recommended cook time then you'll know how to gauge it.

I have no info on how accurate a cheese thermometer should be, but this is not as accurate as the baking thermometers like the ones from Polder. This is close, but the scale is not long, which means that it is up to interpretation. Wow thanks to spell check. If the readings don't have to be that accurate, then this one should work. If not, then look at the baking ones with a digital read out. Good luck,

This depends on the cheeses you use and how much they have been diluted with wine or something else. The water bath will keep the cheese from burning, so any temperature you want is fine. the higher the temperature the thinner the mixture. You decide what consistency you like and record that setting. If you always use the same cheeses and the same mixture, your recorded setting will work for you. Cooking is not a science, but is based on science. have some fun experimenting with different cheeses and mixtures. the Trudeau will keep you from the serious error of burning your cheese while you find out what you like best.

Daniel, If you're careful you should be able to do that. I use it to check the temperature of tea in a tea pot sometimes and it's right on the money with that. I'd recommend taking a couple readings on different spots and going with what seems to be the most consistent. Id also recommend pointing it at the label instead of the glass. You may in fact be reading the temperature of the glass - but it should be pretty close if not exactly the temp of the wine inside. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking the laser is the exact spot the temp is being taken. Place the larger opening on the gun directly on the bottle.

I don't think I'd rely on it for pasteurization, as it measures the temp at the tip -- not along the entire length of the probe.I'd be worried about just getting a "spot" temperature -- unless you are absolutely sure that your entire tank has been mixed to a perfectly even temperature.

Yes, this would be able to check the temp of a BBQ or smoker. I have had one for a few months now and it has worked great so far. No problems or issues.

I suppose you could, provided you take the necessary precautions in somewhat water proofing the temperature probe. I Initially used mine for home brewing and found it to be about 5 degrees off from other calibrated thermometers which is not good in home brewing. You might want to look around a bit more before committing to this unit.

Don't see why not. The temperature range is -58 to +572F or -50 to +300C. The only caveat is that there is no clip for attaching it your pot. But, it is instant read. So, if you are OK with dipping it in to read the temperature and then removing it, you should be good.
