The Rubbermaid CM200C stainless steel meat thermometer has temperature readings in Fahrenheit for ensuring proper food preparation temperature. Its stainless steel construction resists scaling and corrosion. It has hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP)-recommended temperatures marked on the face for various types of meat and may be put inside the meat in the oven to monitor temperature during cooking. A pre-set marker on the dial indicates a specified temperature. It has a stem length of 4-3/8 inches with a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F in increments of 2 degrees F. It is certified to National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) standards for food safety. Food service thermometers are used to monitor the temperatures of food or of food preparation and storage environments, such as ovens, freezers, or refrigerators, in commercial or home kitchens. The thermometers can be mechanical, with dials, or electronic, with digital displays, to show temperature readings in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or both. Some dials have markings that indicate optimal cooking temperature zones for meats, candy, or dough. Thermometers are commonly made of stainless steel (mechanical) or plastic with stainless steel probes (digital).Rubbermaid manufactures cleaning, organizing, and material handling products for commercial, medical, and industrial applications.
