Can you use an infrared thermometer for cooking?
Yes, you can, and the Erickhill Infrared thermometer is best used in a cooking environment, but there are other areas where it could be used. For example, use it to register the surface temperature to protect your children on playground equipment. Also, food and serving pans can be checked if you own a restaurant buffet or operate a catering business.

After the heatwave we've been through, I'd use this to check the temp of the lawn furniture. Some metal lawn chairs will sear your butt like a 12-oz porterhouse, complete with grill marks. 😃

[@MrCastIron]

Yeah, I didn't think about lawn furniture, but that is something else it could be used on! I’ll take the porterhouse, though, lol!!

[@rhughes1795]

I'm glad to discover your channel. I've searched "cast iron cookware" almost daily on YT for many years, and am bummed it took YT algorithm so long to pop you onto my feed, but glad I can now watch so many of your vids.

[@MrCastIron]

That’s cool! I’m glad you found us too, my friend! If we can ever help answer any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, ok!?

[@peterc.anderson1840]

I also sent you're video to my nephew and my brother. Both now have a peaked interest in cast iron

[@MrCastIron]

That’s great! Thank you for sharing this with them, and be sure to let them know if they ever have any questions or problems with cast iron to reach out to me anytime, and I’ll do my best to help them!

[@CookingwithStephennJacklyn]

Definitely an awesome 👌 product and super easy to use. Thanks for sharing and I wish you and Teresa a wonderful week. Cheers ✌️ 🍺

[@MrCastIron]

You’re welcome, Stephen, and thank you too, my friend! We are doing great, and I hope you and Jacklyn are too!!

[@GingerSnapKitchen]

Very nice review, Mike! I LOVE my infrared thermometer! They’re super helpful! ❤️

[@MrCastIron]

Thanks Stephanie! I bet you have a pink one too, right!?

[@GingerSnapKitchen]

@@MrCastIron The world is an imperfect place, Mike. I wish that had been an option. 🙂

[@MrCastIron]

@@GingerSnapKitchen lol! I think there are pink ones too 😎

[@livingyourstory]

Thermometers are SO handy not only for ease of use but food safety. Great call Mike. Cheers!

[@MrCastIron]

Thanks, guys! A good thermometer and an instant-read are great tools for any cook!

[@BBQPITDOG]

Nice unit you got there Mike and I checked it out on Amazon....very affordable! Thanks for the info Bud!

[@MrCastIron]

Thanks, Big Rob! They were surprisingly cheap, I thought too! Have a great week ahead, buddy!

[@PaulieDetmurds]

You can use it,....to some degree! LOL! In all reality, I would never do such a thing. In the Navy, we were required to have thermometers in several places, one on the flat top, one in the oven, one in the and one in the deep fat fryer. Great video Mike.

[@MrCastIron]

Lol! Thanks, Paulie! I’m sure you guys did have to monitor everything when you were cooking in such large amounts!

[@LazyCookPete]

I use one for checking the surface temperature of my junket puddings. I find it quite useful.

[@MrCastIron]

That’s interesting, Pete!

[@ignoranceisnotatrend4669]

Could be used for checking the temp on a offset smoker

[@BakersBBQ]

I need one of these for my Blackstone 👍🏻

[@MrCastIron]

Yes, Mike, they are perfect for checking hotspots on a grill or flattop!

[@dculbersondal]

Great video!! Thx!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@peterc.anderson1840]

Thank you sir, I just ordered me one of them. I have a probe for cooking (not happy with it) it will have to do for now. I plan on using it with and without the new trivet that's coming. I want to know the temp of all my cast iron, over the flame and the outer edge of cooking surface. With and without the trivet. PS; I made fried potatoes with onions this morning as per you're video and they turned out fantastic! Beautiful golden brown 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you sir!

[@MrCastIron]

You’re welcome, Peter, and thank you too, my friend! I think you will be able to monitor your temperature on your cast iron better with one of these. Thanks for trying our tater recipe, and I’m glad they turned out good for you too! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@micahpauldunford2052]

I ordered one and a digital meat probe hope u get credit thank you

All this time, MY instant read thermometer, aka..the palm of my hand hovering like a UFO about 2-3” above the iron surface, has been upgraded, LOL..I think this would be helpful to someone new to CI, or just a fun new tool in the kitchen🥳🤩😎💯..Best to you and Teresa!

[@Kakkoii_ne]

Is the temp reading only surface or can it also tell you the inside temperature?

[@MrCastIron]

Yes, it is only surface. It does not read internal temperature.

[@HumbleBearcat]

What is the optimal temperature for pan frying an egg on a cast iron skillet so that it won't stick? Is there a different optimal temperature vs. stainless steel pan?

[@MrCastIron]

I cook mine at medium to medium-low.

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@MrCastIron At what degree Fahrenheit using the infrared?

[@MrCastIron]

250-300F

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@MrCastIron So 250-300 deg from beginning to the end or higher in the beginning?

[@MrCastIron]

Yes, I usually start at the high side and then turn the heat down lower because cast iron retains heat. You’ll have to experiment with it, but I know you’ll get it figured out!! Let me know how it goes ok!!??

[@TOMGARVEYtheKETOCOOK]

Very nice , 👌

[@MrCastIron]

Thanks Tom!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Very interesting

[@MrCastIron]

Yes sir! Thanks Dave!

[@lcook0825]

Can you use it to check the temperature of steak you are cooking?

[@MrCastIron]

Great question! Yes, you can, Larry, but only the exterior. It doesn’t register the internal temperature.

[@lcook0825]

@@MrCastIron thanks as always Mike.

[@MrCastIron]

You're welcome, Larry!

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

I think this tool would be handy if cooking with CI on a pit or bbq grill, as there is no real good way to monitor the heat of the coals/fire so you'd need to know the pan/pot temp to control you pit temp. I don't trust the thermometer on my grill, and it's not a cheap unit. If I fire up all 4 burners on low it hits max 650 degrees in no time. So we use a 4 probe Ink Bird to monitor not only ambient temp, but internal temps for long cooks, or our Thermo Pro instant read. The "About this product" on Amazon, the very last sentence reads, "Temperature readings from these IR thermometers are inanimate objects, the measured temperature for humans or animals will not be correct." The reason for bringing this up is the negative reviews were mostly about incorrect human temps. It's not it's purpose. Other than that, nice unit Mike. TYFS

[@MrCastIron]

Yeah, I’m with you on not trusting my grills thermometer. I don’t know why they are so inaccurate, but mine sure is. I meant to mention this is not intended for human use, but I failed to do so. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, my friend!
