Instant read vs infrared — choose the right KIZEN®

A probe thermometer and an infrared thermometer do different jobs. Most serious home cooks use both — a quick guide.

Instant Read Meat Thermometer

Use it when internal temperature matters — when food safety or doneness depends on the center of what you're cooking.

  • Steak, chicken, turkey, pork, lamb
  • Fish, bread, candy, custard
  • Frying oil, water, sauces, liquids

Infrared Temperature Gun

Use it when surface temperature matters — when you can't (or shouldn't) touch the surface to measure it.

  • Pizza stones, griddles, cast iron pans
  • Grills, ovens, smokers
  • HVAC vents, engines, repair surfaces

For serious cooking, the two work best together. The infrared gun confirms the cooking surface is ready; the instant-read probe confirms the food itself is done.

Bought this 4 years ago on the recommendation from a friend who is a chef. It continues to work great whether in the house cooking on the stove or in the oven, or out on the grill. It turns on and lights up when the probe is extended making it easy and convenient to use. Has magnet built in that allows ours to live on the side of our fridge in convenient reach of the oven. We have checked its accuracy multiple times over the past 4 years and it has been flawless. Would highly recommend this thermometer especially given its cost. Would not grill or smoke without this tool and would purchase again if we ever need another.

Easy to use and very accurate. Perfect for fish. I use it a minimum of several times each week. Indispensable kitchen tool if you cook fish or meat.

Amazing product for chefs/cooks. I’m a sous chef and I use this daily. I love the design. Nice and sturdy and durable. Easy to clean like any other thermometer. I love the functionality, only turns on when the probe is out so the battery life is great.

This meat thermometer works great, is easy to use, and clean.

Cannot imagine using a griddle without this tool. This gives you the ability to know hot zones on your cooking surface. Also, allows you to know when griddle is too hot for the items being cooked or not hot enough. This temp gun works very well, especially for the price level.

Truly it’s one of the things you never knew you needed. Got a new set of skillets and joined a Facebook group on cooking with them. They kept talking about proper temperatures for cooking. Being a poor judge I decided to buy this. I now know why I was never a good cook, lol. Really I use it daily and often more than once. It’s easy, just point and pull the trigger and know if your temperature is ready to go. I think there’s many more uses but I’m so happy with my use for it that I bought another as a gift.

About KIZEN®

KIZEN builds practical temperature tools for people who want better control over their cooking and projects. From backyard grilling and holiday roasting to pizza ovens, griddles, candy making, HVAC checks, and automotive maintenance, KIZEN focuses on reading temperature fast, clearly, and reliably.

A steak shouldn't be guessed by color alone. A pizza oven should be hot enough before the dough goes in. A griddle needs the right surface temperature before breakfast starts. A repair project is easier when hot spots can be checked safely from a distance. KIZEN brings that level of control into the kitchen, the garage, the workshop, and the backyard.

The KIZEN Instant Read Meat Thermometer also meets CE and RoHS specifications. Every KIZEN tool is backed by a hassle-free lifetime guarantee — if something goes wrong, support is there to make it right.
