When it comes to food safety and temperature control, choosing the right digital food thermometer is essential. At Techris Systems Ireland, we stock a wide range of calibrated food thermometers, designed for restaurants, catering kitchens, HACCP compliance, and cold chain monitoring.

But with so many thermometer options available, how do you choose the best one for your needs?

Choosing the Right Food Thermometer?

The best thermometer for you depends on several key factors:

Application: Are you checking cooked food, chilled storage, or ambient environments?

Environment: Will it be used in a commercial kitchen, cold room, delivery van, or food production area?

Temperature range and accuracy: Do you need high-accuracy readings for HACCP logs?

Design and usability: Do you prefer pocket-sized, folding, or multi-channel options?

Our Most Popular Food Thermometer Types:

Plug-in probe thermometers – ideal for kitchens and food prep

Folding (fold-away) thermometers – compact, safe, and easy to store

Pocket thermometers – perfect for quick checks on the go

Multi-channel thermometers – for monitoring multiple points at once

Coolbox thermometers – great for mobile food transport

Fridge and freezer thermometers – essential for cold storage and HACCP logs

Each model is carefully selected for its accuracy, durability, and ease of use, making them suitable for professional food industry environments.

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point — a systematic preventive approach to food safety that is mandatory for all food businesses in Ireland. It involves identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards throughout the food production and handling process to ensure the food you serve is safe to eat.

Why is HACCP Important for Your Food Business?

HACCP procedures are designed to prevent contamination and foodborne illnesses by managing critical control points such as cooking, cooling, and storage temperatures. Compliance with HACCP regulations is not only a legal requirement but also key to maintaining customer trust and passing food safety audits.

How Do Food Thermometers Support Your HACCP Plan?

At Techris Systems Ireland, we supply a wide range of calibrated food thermometers specifically designed to help you meet your HACCP requirements. Using a reliable, accurate thermometer is essential for:

-Monitoring cooking temperatures to ensure pathogens are destroyed

-Check chilling and freezing temperatures to prevent bacterial growth

-Maintaining temperature logs required for audits and compliance

Supporting HACCP documentation with Calibration Certficates Traceable To National Standards.

Our HACCP Compliant Thermomters:

Our range includes digital probe thermometers, folding thermometers, fridge/freezer thermometers, and data loggers — all supplied with free calibration certficates traceable to National Stanards to guarantee accuracy and compliance.

When purchasing a digital thermometer or data logger, many businesses ask: Is a calibration certificate necessary? And how often should calibration be updated?

The answer largely depends on your industry regulations and quality standards. For many sectors — including food safety, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries in Ireland — having a current calibration certificate is mandatory to demonstrate accuracy and compliance.

Why is a Calibration Certficate Important?

A calibration certificate provides official documentation that your instrument has been tested against nationally recognised standards to ensure accuracy and reliability. In Ireland, calibration certificates traceable to National Standards give you confidence that your measurements meet required tolerances.

Many food safety and pharmaceutical applications require calibration certificates to be renewed at least annually to maintain compliance with HACCP, GMP, ISO, and other regulatory guidelines.

How often should I calibrate my Thermometer or Data Logger?

Annual calibration is standard for most food and pharma applications. Some critical processes or high-accuracy requirements may call for more frequent calibration.

Environmental factors, instrument usage, and manufacturer recommendations can also influence calibration frequency.

Our team at Techris Systems can help you determine the optimal calibration schedule for your specific application.

Calibration Certificates Included with All New Thermometers and Data Loggers

At Techris Systems Ireland, every new thermometer and data logger comes with a free calibration certificate traceable to National Standards — included in the price. Our calibration lab uses the latest high-precision reference equipment to provide comprehensive, compliant calibration services you can trust.

At Techris Systems Ireland, we often get asked about the key differences between non-contact infrared (IR) thermometers and contact thermometers — two common types of temperature measurement tools used across the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors.

Understanding these differences is crucial in choosing the right thermometer for your specific application, ensuring accurate, reliable temperature readings that comply with industry standards.

Contact thermometers require physical touch with the surface or product being measured. Common examples include probe thermometers, folding thermometers, and data loggers with sensors.

Non-contact IR thermometers measure surface temperature remotely by detecting infrared radiation emitted from objects. They do not need to touch the item, allowing for faster and safer temperature checks.
