Uni-T A63 2-in-1 Food Thermometer

The Uni-T A63 2-in-1 Food Thermometer is a professional-grade tool designed for precise temperature monitoring in culinary environments. By combining non-contact infrared technology with a high-quality stainless steel folding probe, this device offers versatility for checking both surface and internal temperatures. It is engineered to provide rapid, accurate readings, ensuring that food safety standards are met and cooking results are consistently perfect.

Advantages

This thermometer stands out due to its dual-measurement capability, which allows for quick surface scans and deep-core temperature checks with a single device. The inclusion of an FDA GRAS certified stainless steel probe ensures food safety, while the IP65 waterproof rating and drop-resistant housing provide durability in busy kitchen environments. Users benefit from a rotating LCD display that maintains readability at any angle, a built-in laser sight for precise infrared targeting, and an integrated HACCP indicator that simplifies the assessment of food safety compliance.

Suitable for

• Monitoring internal temperatures of meats, poultry, and fish
• Checking surface temperatures of grills, pans, and ovens
• Ensuring food safety compliance in professional kitchens
• Measuring temperatures of liquids, sauces, and baked goods
• Home cooking and professional culinary preparation

When it may not be suitable

This device is primarily designed for food-related temperature monitoring and may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring extreme temperature ranges beyond its specified limits. It is also not intended for medical use or measuring human body temperature.

Key specifications

• Accuracy: ±0.5°C in the critical range of -30°C to 100°C
• Probe type: NTC stainless steel
• Protection rating: IP65 waterproof
• Display: LCD with image flip function
• Power: 2x AAA batteries
• Features: Data hold, MAX/MIN measurement, temperature difference function, and LED alarm

How to use

To use the infrared function, point the device at the target surface and press the trigger to obtain an instant reading. For internal temperature checks, unfold the stainless steel probe and insert it into the thickest part of the food, ensuring a minimum depth of 12.7 mm for accurate results. The device allows for easy switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and the display automatically rotates to ensure the numbers are always upright. After use, clean the probe thoroughly and fold it back into the housing to protect the sensor and ensure longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the temperature range meets your specific cooking requirements
• Ensure the probe length is sufficient for the types of food you typically prepare
• Consider the need for regular calibration if used in a professional HACCP-regulated environment

Usage recommendations

Always clean the stainless steel probe with food-safe sanitizer before and after every use to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid exposing the infrared sensor to steam or heavy grease, as this may affect measurement accuracy over time.
