Abstract
A portable temperature probe. The probe has a handle probe assembly with a longitudinal, steel, antimicrobial, heat-conductive element. A removable, hollow, stainless steel sheath is provided for enclosing and protecting the probe assembly. The heat-conductive element is hardened to resist bending and silver plated for maximum heat-conductivity. The sheath can be carried in a pocket to keep the probe easily accessible, sanitary, and protected from bending. A magnetic closure on the sheath allows the probe to be quickly accessible for removal and storage. The entire unit can be sanitized along with other kitchen utensils without corroding.
Claims17
A portable temperature probe comprising:
- a) a longitudinal heat-conductive element having a proximal end and a distal end;
- b) a magnetic insulator having a front surface and a rear surface, said front surface being operatively connected to said proximal end of said longitudinal heat-conductive element;
- and
- c) a handle operatively connected to said rear surface of said magnetic insulator, said longitudinal heat-conductive element, said magnetic insulator, and said handle forming a probe assembly.
A portable temperature probe, comprising:
- a) a probe assembly comprising a longitudinal heat-conductive element comprising silver-plated, centerless ground H13 nitrided steel, wherein the probe assembly comprises:
- a′) a proximal end and a distal end;
- b′) a magnetic insulator having a front surface and a rear surface, said front surface being operatively connected to said proximal end of said longitudinal heat-conductive element;
- and
- c′) a handle operatively connected to said rear surface of said magnetic insulator;
- and
- b) a removable, hollow, longitudinal sheath having a proximal end and a distal end for enclosing and protecting the probe assembly.
