I received the Ultra Accurate Instant Read Digital Cooking Thermometer Perfect For Kitchen Or BBQ By Quick Temp, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.
I never used a food thermometer before and wanted to try one. I am one of those cooks, who use a knife to cut a hole in the middle of the chicken or fish to see if it's completely done. I love my food well-done and don't want to get sick.
The thermometer comes with a guide on the back of the packaging with the correct info. If you lose the packaging or your child throws the packaging away (like mine then), the temperature information can be found online.
