The Hygiplas Catertherm is a handheld digital thermometer designed for routine temperature monitoring in commercial kitchen environments. It uses a detachable stainless steel probe to take readings across a wide temperature range, displaying results clearly on a large LCD screen. Two AAA batteries are supplied, and an auto shut-off function helps preserve battery life during busy service periods.

In practice, this type of thermometer is used daily by kitchen teams to verify core temperatures during cooking, check chilled and frozen storage, and confirm hot-holding temperatures meet food safety requirements. It is a straightforward, reliable tool that supports HACCP compliance without adding complexity to the workflow.

Key practical benefits include:

Fast, readable temperature display reduces time spent at the probe point
Detachable probe makes cleaning and storage straightforward
Wide temperature range handles hot and cold applications from the same unit
Compact and lightweight — fits comfortably in a chef's pocket
Auto shut-off reduces battery consumption during service

There are no installation requirements — the Catertherm is a handheld, battery-powered unit ready to use out of the box. It is suited to kitchens of any size and is equally at home in a small café kitchen as in a large production environment. For operations requiring data logging or Bluetooth connectivity, it is worth considering whether a more advanced model would better meet your compliance recording needs.

If you are unsure whether this thermometer is the right fit for your team's monitoring requirements, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this thermometer suitable for checking core cooking temperatures?

Yes — the stainless steel probe is designed to take core temperature readings in cooked foods, making it appropriate for verifying that meat and other proteins have reached safe internal temperatures. It covers the full range required for both cooking and cold-storage checks.

Does this thermometer support HACCP record-keeping?

The Catertherm gives accurate point-in-time readings suitable for manual HACCP logging. It does not include data logging or connectivity features, so readings would need to be recorded manually. If your operation requires automated logging or digital records, a more advanced thermometer with those capabilities would be worth considering.

How do you clean and maintain the probe between uses?

The probe is detachable, which makes cleaning straightforward — it can be wiped down with food-safe probe wipes or sanitising solution between uses. Always allow the probe to cool before cleaning after hot applications, and ensure it is dry before reattaching.
