The MYT200 will easily measure the temperature of meat or poultry. The scale shows the USDA recommended temperatures for safe cooking. It will take 1-2 minutes for the temperature to register. The MYT200 thermometer can remain in food during cooking. The MYT200 can also help you know when your bread is perfectly cooked. Yeast, a living organism, is considered to be the magic ingredient in bread making. It is dormant until combined with warm water (proofed). The ideal temperature for this is 105–115°F/40–46°C. At temperatures of 120°F/49°C and above the yeast is destroyed. This is why it is important to use the MYT200 thermometer to check the temperature of the liquid the yeast is combined with. Add the yeast to be dissolved when the liquid temperature is 105–115°F. Measurement Range: 100 to 200°F/38 to 93°C
