Accuracy+/- 2°C



The colour change occurs over 2°C to 3°C band; e.g. For a 70°C trigger activation point (black to red), this would look like:

The change stops immediantly you remove the source of heat. In the single use sensors, it is cumulative. Therefore if you remove the sensor when the the tip has just begun to change, you can re-apply it until the temperature rises high enough to turn the tip red. In this way, you can keep checking a piece of meat or a whole chicken, until the sensor tip eventually turns red. When the change occurs, it only requires to be at the trigger temperature for five to ten seconds.

The Cook-It Sticks™ are covered by patent.
