What is the difference between a yogurt thermometer and an instant read meat thermometer?

Marjorie.....slightly different in readouts.....but they are interchangeable.....HOWEVER....this particular thermometer is not that accurate, so I would be wary of purchasing it....just an fyi.

Not much, other than on the yogurt thermometer the target high temp (180F) and cooled temp (110F) are highlighted so you know your key points to achieve. It just makes it easier. You most certainly could use an instant read thermometer, remembering your target temps. The clip on the Euro Cuisine thermometer makes it easy to keep in on the pot while you heat up your milk.

I love this yogurt thermometer. You can see clearly when the mixture reaches he target peak temperature of 180, and also when the mixture temperature drops to 113 (to add the yogurt culture). The clip fits nicely on the pan, and adjusts so the bottom of the themometer doesn't touch the bottom of the pan. Great value!

The Thermometer comes with a very handy and easy to read plastic card with all the meat and poultry temperatures on it. This handy little card is attached to the plastic sheath with a silver chain. The print is easy to read unlike thermometers that have the temperature printed on the sheath. If you did not receive a temperature chart please contact us and it will be mailed out to you at no charge.

The thermometer has 2 modes... for reading people's temperature and for reading the temperature of objects. The second mode can be used for reading the temperature of a room (point at the wall) or a bathtub (or other pot of water, I have used it for measuring milk temperature making cheese). Note that you have to switch modes, which takes fumbling through some poorly designed menus, so it is not a fast process. However, it can be used for general measuring of objects within normal temperature ranges (min is 32* F, max I have not found exactly but it can measure at least 110* F).

It takes only seconds for it to acquire the actual temperature; it begins counting up from room temperature immediately and fast. It gets within a few degrees within five seconds; it can take perhaps another five if you insist on a precise measurement. Remember, since you let any meat sit for two minutes so all the juices won't run out, it will continue cooking - for beef another five degrees - so hitting your target temperature on the nose isn't necessary.Since it's only $10 on Amazon, I probably wouldn't bother with a battery. It'll be time to get a new device. As it's only on for seconds at a time, I wouldn't worry.

It has a digital readout so it could be used for various foods. It also has preset temps for various meats and how you prefer them such as medium well etc.

about 21/2 to 3 hrs.. Best bet is get an instant read thermometer. Beef is done at 170 degrees.

The big difference for me is its a lot easier taking the temperature of an active toddler. My boy will not hold still for an under the arm thermometer and this works great. Also, I can take his temperature while he is sleeping with out disturbing him. I'm very happy with mine and definitely recommend it.

NO. Kefir strains are mesophilic, meaning they ferment at room temp. Electric yogurt makers are incubators that maintain temperature at the level needed by thermopilic Yogurt cultures, which require temps around 105-114 degrees. If you try to make kefir in a yogurt maker, you will probably kill your kefir grains. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/difference-between-yogurt-kefir

It is a thermometer, so it will detect temperature in whatever it is inserted into - water, meat, dough, etc.I have used it only on meat, and it read in about 5-6 seconds as advertised. However, I don't consider this "ultra-fast"! And it appears to be acceptably accurate based on comparison with another thermometer I have.

As I see it, infra-red is surface temperature device. I use the Fluke to check the BBQ case, the grate and if the food is big enough, the food but I depend on an instant read thermometer for the internal temperature. And of course the touchy-feeley method is useful if you do steaks frequently enough to build up that skill.

your grill probe is shorter and more blunt on the tip, and also has a bracket to hold it on the grill. The food probe is longer with a point on the end to stick it into the meat. there both a thermal couple reading temperature. just do not submerse in water as you will ruin the probe.

The reading is instant which gives you the ability to read temps in various locations of the food. I'm not familiar with Thermapen...sorry!

I wish I could be more help but I have not ever used the thermometer that way. I've only used it to test temperature when meat is taken out of the oven. For that purpose it works great.

I'm under the impression the difference between yogurt and Greek yogurt is the straining which ones you lose the excess liquid you end up with more protein. cup for cup between Greek yogurt and yogurt is the protein. This is a awesome strainer !

We use an instant thermometer with no problem. It is not an oven as it has no insulation. I would not think an oven thermometer would be desirable because what you really need to know is the temperature of the food you are cooking rather than the temperature of the surrounding space. In an oven food starts to cook at about 180F and the length of time it takes to cook is very dependent on the amount of liquid the food contains.

Definitely a myth. I cook my yogurt in a stainless steel pot and use this thermometer every time.

They taste similar but kefir is better for your gut and is more liquid than yogurt. I hope this helps.
