h2. What is an infrared thermometer?
Infrared thermometer is a [*instant read
thermometer*|https://ladydeep.net/the-best-instant-read-thermometer-for-cooking/].
Infrared thermometers measure temperature by measuring infrared light
information. Food, ovens, and various objects emit some of the most invisible
infrared light, depending on how hot or cold that they were. By focusing the
light on a detector with the name "thermometer", infrared thermometers can
measure the temperature of any object exactly.
Thankfully, you don't need to be an expert to enjoy the benefits of using an
infrared thermometer for cooking! They are heated through light rather than
being directly exposed to it. This benefit makes the infrared thermometers fit
for pizza ovens and other high temperature applications.

h3. Infrared thermometer
Infrared thermometers are extremely easy to use: Simply point the thermometer
at the object you want to measure, pull the trigger and read the report.
However, depending on what you are measuring, you may need to be careful where
you are pointing! Since infrared thermometers only measure surface
temperatures, getting an accurate reading of oven and cookware temperatures
requires a bit of creativity.
h3. Measure oven and grill temperature
Place the pizza stone, griddle, or cast iron skillet in your oven and wait for
it to heat up.
Point the infrared thermometer at the pizza stone or another object once the
built-in thermometer in your oven or oven has reached the desired temperature.
Make sure that the infrared thermometer is pointed at the object and not inside
or around the surface, notice the area below the grill.
Continue to keep the thermometer activated while pointing at the subject until
the temperature reading stabilizes.
If using a cast iron pan, apply cooking oil or non-stick spray to increase the
accuracy of the result.
h3. Measuring cookware temperature
Start heating your skillet.
If measuring cookware without liquid, apply cooking oil or non-stick spray to
the inner surface before measuring. Point the infrared thermometer at the oil
and hold the trigger until the temperature reading is stable.
If measuring cookware with liquid, stir the liquid before measuring and measure
only a small sample in the ladle if possible. Point the infrared thermometer at
the liquid and hold the trigger until the temperature reading is stable.
h2. Tips for infrared thermometers and other uses
Your infrared thermometer isn't just for cooking! Since all objects emit
infrared light, your infrared thermometer can also measure refrigerator
temperature, body temperature, and more.
However, note that infrared thermometers only measure surface temperature, not
internal temperature. Therefore, if you want to measure the internal
temperature of an oven or refrigerator, you will need to measure an interior
surface such as a pizza stone. Similarly, infrared thermometers cannot measure
the internal temperature of foods, so you should still use probe thermometers
for steaks and similar foods.
