Analogue probe thermometer Hendi 271384
Technical data 01 / 02
This analogue probe thermometer provides a battery-free way to check food temperature, with a stainless-steel probe for readings inside the food. At a preparation bench, staff can check the centre of a roast rather than relying on its surface, helping them assess cooking progress before the food moves to service.
Where it is used
Use the probe for food-temperature checks during preparation or cooking, including centre checks on roasts in a professional kitchen. It is not designed to remain in an oven: take a reading after removing the food, rather than leaving the thermometer in place during cooking. The supplied protective cap covers the probe during storage, and its metal clip lets staff attach the instrument to workwear between checks.
The analogue scale gives a direct reading without a battery-powered display, which is useful when the thermometer is needed repeatedly at a busy checking station. Insert the probe into the food at the point to be assessed, then use the reading to inform the next preparation step.
Care
Stainless steel resists corrosion and is straightforward to keep clean, useful properties for equipment handled around food in a damp kitchen. The probe’s stainless-steel construction suits repeated checks, while the stainless-steel scale housing supports routine cleaning after handling.
Cover the probe when storing the thermometer. The cap shields its tip from contact with other utensils, and the clip keeps the instrument close at hand when staff move between checking points.
How to choose
The scale spans 0 °C to 300 °C, so one instrument can serve for both chilled-food checks and hot readings. This is useful for kitchens that need to check products across different preparation tasks without changing to another thermometer. Its manual analogue operation also avoids dependence on batteries at the point of use.
Measurement tolerance widens at higher temperatures, so readings should be interpreted in relation to the temperature band being checked. The dial’s 52 mm diameter provides a viewing area for reading the markings at the bench. Overall height of 140 mm helps assess how the thermometer will be handled and stored alongside other utensils.
