Laser thermometers

A laser thermometer reads the temperature of the surface through infrared radiation. They usually say that the first pancake is never good, and that is precisely because the frying pan has not reached the right temperature yet. With a laser thermometer, you can check exactly what temperature the cooking surface is. We think the laser thermometer is a bit of an underrated measuring tool - in so many aspects of cooking, accuracy is paramount, but on a stove, you settle for instructions like 'medium heat'. If you know what surface temperature you are frying at, you will be able to recreate those perfectly cooked pancakes, fish fillets or pieces of meat time and time again.
