Types of thermometers for drinks

In the industry of kitchen thermometers there is some variety today. So, in particular, on shelves of specialized shops it is possible to meet metal, liquid and electronic (digital) thermometers. We will begin with the simplest – liquid. The principle of their work is known practically to everyone – when heating liquid in a tube of the device begins to extend and climbs a scale up. Most often in liquid thermometers mercury is used, but in kitchen it is extremely dangerous therefore all similar devices for liquids have a spirit basis. Most often such thermometers are used to baby food – surgical accuracy isn't required here.

Electronic thermometers work by the principle of change of resistance at various temperature. The thermoresistor which shows a certain value when passing of current on it is the cornerstone of the majority of such devices. Further data come to a microcomputer and are compared to the table of temperatures. On the screen you see already ready result. With electronic sensors wines skilled judges and wine makers most often decorate the bottles.

As the measuring device in the metal thermometer serves the strip from two various metals fastened among themselves. It is known that different metals have different heat conductivity and extend with a different speed. At temperature change the coefficient of expansion of a strip is transferred to the metering device paired to the scale showing drink temperature.

What will we check?

Most often thermometers for drinks get for two purposes: take temperature of wine or for control of comfort temperature of children's products. It should be noted that if milk or tea for the child can theoretically quite be found out by means of the ordinary kitchen multipurpose thermometer, then it is better to test wine the device, especially for it adapted. Of course, not each mom is ready to take temperature to a milk mix for the baby the same thermometer that she uses for preparation of fried meat. For this reason today it is possible to find in children's shops and pharmacies also special children's thermometers. Separately it is worth mentioning thermometers which are used in cheese making. If, suddenly, you look for the device for measurement of liquids on home cheese dairy, it is the best of all to stop on the thermometer with the long metal probe and the case which won't crash even when falling in the container with serum.
