Study: Here’s Why Consumers Don’t Use Thermometers When Cooking
According to a study conducted by researchers at Purdue University, few people use thermometers when they cook—even if they know how.
One of the major reasons that consumers don’t use thermometers, researchers found, is because they tend to draw inspiration from outside sources—celebrity chefs, cookbook authors, magazines, restaurant managers, and food blogs. These outlets rarely ever mention or demonstrate the importance of cooking food to proper temperatures.
