Probe Kit

The kit contains a battery powered digital thermometer, with the temperature range from -99.9°C to +299.9°C and two needle probes, which are 1mm diameter and come in two lengths, 60mm and 120mm. The longer probe is designed to reach the centre of larger joints of meat. The kit contains a Traceable Calibration Certificate for the instrument and a waterproof countdown timer.

A section of the probe foam seal provided is placed on a dry area of the vacuum pouch before piercing with the needle probe. This ensures the vacuum is retained when the needle is carefully withdrawn through the foam seal. Using the digital thermometer will result in gaining a temperature reading of the food item to ensure it has reached the temperature required before serving or chilling for mis en place.

This kit is especially useful when developing and establishing specific times and temperatures for sous vide items. Each kit is supplied with a mini tub of probe wipes to ensure high quality hygiene standards can be met.
