    Useful cooking temperate guide::

    • Poultry (chicken, turkey, duck): 75°C
    • Red meat steaks (beef, veal, lamb): 63°C rare, 71°C medium, 77°C well done
    • Mince, sausages & other processed meats: 75°C
    • Fish: 69°C
    • Pork: 70°C
    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 13:02

      Personally, I tend to cook sausages to 90C-100C as they do not look brown enough at 75C.

        It’s not about the look, it’s about safe eating temperature.

        • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 13:14
          +5

          I think we're in agreement.
          My point is that, while sausages are safe to eat at 75C, I feel a higher temperature is needed to get a more appetising colour.

            @Dinjay: Youre mixing up internal vs external temperature, they aren't the same.
            If you want them more brown, cook it hotter.
            Internal temp doesn't have anything to do with exterior colour.
            You don't cook a steak to 180f internal to get a better crust, you just sear it at a higher heat.
            A thermometer is perfect to get it right though

            • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 14:18

              @Phesto: I meant both inside and outside.
              My personal experience is that the sausages look/smell/taste better when cooked to a higher temperature - YMMV.

              You do make an interesting - I could try searing at a higher temp and then cooking to 75C at a lower temp to see if that makes a difference. Doing that while BBQing for a group may be difficult, so I will need to try for a small batch.

                @Dinjay: I always sear mine then throw them in the oven to hit 75 - 85

            @Dinjay: Just use the flamethrower from gugafoods. +20 points to flavour if you play the signature guitar music and say "I know it doesn't look good right now but.."

      These are extremely conservative. Especially with techniques like sous vide you can shave over 10 degrees of some of those for lush tender meat, such as chicken breast.

    • ericshurn on 17/01/2025 - 13:22

      63 degrees celcius for steak would be well done, wouldn't it??

      • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 13:25
        -5

        I understand the recommendation for rare as seared on the outside at 63 degrees - the inside can be rare.

          what? this probe is for measuring the internal temp

          • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 14:23

            @commiewealth: The info I wrote was directly lifted out of the healthdirect link above. I don't cook rare, so I am not sure how best to do that….

            • Phesto on 17/01/2025 - 17:50

              @Dinjay: That's referring to internal temp not external temp. The external temp of a seared steak would be in the hundreds

      • Xizor on 17/01/2025 - 13:48

        Strictly speak nah, more medium to medium well. Especially if sous vide where cook temperature is even and controlled. On a flame or grill its a whole other matter.

    • d3ft on 17/01/2025 - 14:00
      +12

      Those red meat numbers are miles too high. Medium rare is closer to 55.

      • Rusty McMusty on 17/01/2025 - 17:32

        I have one of these and used it a couple of nights ago when cooking a thick-as (3-4 cm) steak. I took it off the grill at 58° (I was aiming for 55°) and it was a perfect medium rare. Great little device, got mine from Amazon when on special for the same price.

    • ozlurker on 17/01/2025 - 14:01

      If you follow these temps you're gonna get overcooked meat. Most meat will rise 10C after taking off the pan.

      • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 14:33

        It seems you are right. I guess it's best to remove beef from the BBQ around 5C before reaching the desired temp.

  • MtGeobugi on 17/01/2025 - 13:03

    Thank you OP, ordered.

  • Acopic on 17/01/2025 - 13:16

    Assume this can't be left in while in the oven/bbq?

    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 13:20

      I expect not - excluding the probe, the thermometer body does not feel like it would last in heat - not to mention the battery inside.

      • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 13:29

        You could try something like the IBT-2X with the external probes.

    • fruitloafer on 17/01/2025 - 13:20

      no it can't. you need one with a remote probe and wire

    • when2buy on 17/01/2025 - 13:46

        You can get wireless probe ones too. Amazon I got a couple of these for 60ish each from ebay and haven't had an issue. Replaced my wired ones and i use em in the smoker/bbq/oven/air fryer

    They have an issue with connecting to PayPal and NordVPN is telling me it's a suspected scam website?

      I think I also got something similar when I used them. There are plenty of ozb deals for the same website, so I went ahead and bought a couple of things. Both items arrived without any problems.

    I must admit, I like my Inkbird instant read being orange in colour. Easier to find when you need it quickly!

    • souths123 on 17/01/2025 - 14:46

      I may be wrong, but I think you just use it to check how it is cooking rather than leaving it in the whole time, esp with hood down on bbq or in oven

      Clearly a troll.

      Nobody who uses a Meater Pro would bother with this.

      • yamumma on 17/01/2025 - 19:02

        I have a Meater Pro (only a single) and prefer this for BBQ. Can check on multiple pieces, or a big fillet that varies in thickness.

        Meater only good for roasts, etc.

    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 14:53

      You might look into something like INT-11P-B as it looks similar to Meater Pro from what I can tell.

      User error

  • End3vour on 17/01/2025 - 15:02

    Says temp range goes up too 300 degrees. Assuming this is OK to check temperature of oil (for deepfrying)?

    • ohyesss on 17/01/2025 - 15:13

      Yes it is. Never seen deep frying at 300°

      • End3vour on 17/01/2025 - 15:18

        Yes meant to say deep frying temp is well within the 300 max temp. Mainly checking if it's OK to stick the probe in oil.

        • ohyesss on 17/01/2025 - 19:50
          +1

          Yeah its fine to put it in oil. I've done it heaps of time for deep frying around 160-180°

    if you go direct to the website this isn't showing, but this link still goes to the deal. Maybe they have sold out but the link is still allowing to purchase? Might take a while to get stock in that case

    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 15:36

      It comes up on search as OOS, so you might be right about restocking.

      I had to hold myself back from buying the really cool version for the moment. For some reason, I want to plot the meat temperature over time, but can't find a practical reason to do it.

        • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 18:12

          Interesting.
          Does it integrate with home assistant?
          I was considering Inkbird for data logging because of the HA integration, but I haven't delved in any further because I can't find a good use-case.

          • Phesto on 17/01/2025 - 18:43

            @Dinjay: The fact you can't find a good use case means it's pointless. This will be perfect for you. Explore further once you have a need for it.

  • Francis82 on 17/01/2025 - 15:38

    Novice bbq er here ,is it best to take the temp for a steak on the bbq (as it's cooking on the grill) or quickly onto a normal plate or hotplate for a more accurate reading ,
    for medium rare, also say for several steaks going,have a Weber family q .

    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 15:40

      I measure while on the BBQ - I just lift the side of the steak and then insert the probe through the side to minimise disrupting the cooking.

    • Gravy Train on 17/01/2025 - 15:41

      Fine to do it still on the heat. The sensor is only on the tip of the thermometer so inserting to the middle of the thickest part of meat is all you need.

      • Francis82 on 17/01/2025 - 15:46

        Many thanks mate cheers!!

  • babolat360 on 17/01/2025 - 16:08

    Can anyone enlighten me on the differences between these two models IHT-1X and IHT-1P? Both seem to have the same specs ie 3-5s reading time, temp range, battery, form

    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 17:20

      Apparently the only difference packaging and colours according to the store rep in the previous deal post.

    What's so special about this particular brand? There are plenty of similar thermometers on ebay and amazon for under $20

    • Dinjay on 17/01/2025 - 17:36
      +1

      There are often generic versions of any brand product for cheaper and those might suit you better depending on your use case.

      Personally, I didn't have the expertise and didn't want to spend too long researching, so I bought mine based on popularity on ozb. So far it's been great, but it's my first so I can't compare to anythig yet.

      The Inkbird IHT-1P comes up on Amazon as a best seller so presumable Inkbird hits the right spot for value for money for many people. This version (IHT-1X) is supposed to be the same as the IHT-1P except for the colour and packaging.

    Thank you OP! Got 1!

  • fookos on 17/01/2025 - 17:07

    Thanks OP. Just grabbed one. I’ve got a decent one that is similar but not backlit, which I’ve sometimes needed. Rechargable is good too even though battery lasts yonks anyway.
