Volk launches meat thermometer

As a food item approaches the appropriate internal cooking temperature, the user inserts the Cook’d Right sensor into the thickest part of the meat and waits 5-10 seconds. A colour change at the tip of the disposable sensor indicates when the meat or poultry has reached a specific predetermined temperature. Compatible with a variety of proteins, the sensor may be used with any cooking method, including frying, roasting, grilling or microwaving, said Volk.

“The Cook’d Right Sensor is a valuable device for anyone in the meat packaging or selling industries,” said president Ed Gustafson. “The sensor is a convenient tool that ensures consumers are cooking their food items to a safe temperature, increasing food safety and consumer satisfaction.”

Volk Enterprises said the sensor was available for butchers, retailers and processors and may be packaged with meat and poultry products before they are sold to costumers.
