Testo instrumentation for catering and restaurant services

Australians are spending $45 billion each year on eating out, according to a report put together by Future Food. However, they're aren't interested in greasy foods, they're craving healthy options. That means the products you're serving as a restaurant or caterer need to be fresher than ever.

It's essential that you keep your stock at the perfect temperature otherwise you risk spoiling the food and losing money. In order to keep track of it all, you need the right instruments for every step of the journey.

Receiving incoming goods 

There's a lot of room for error during the transportation of incoming goods as the cargo can go a while without being checked on, plenty of time for goods to go off if the temperature isn't right.

The Testo 104-IR allows you to carry out inspections of incoming goods and spot check during transport or food inspections. This pocket-sized thermometer measures both incoming goods and surface temperature of the individual foods or whole pallets. It features a folding probe to measure core temperatures of products. When the probe is away, the infrared measurement can be turned on for surface measurements.

Looking after goods in storage 

Once the food has made it to storage, it's important that temperature monitoring continue to be a main priority. This can involve reading loggers for different measurement locations which can be troubling if you aren't able to catch an error in time to avoid spoiling goods.

Our Wi-Fi data logger system testo Saveris 2 gives you eyes over temperature and humidity automatically, sending the measurements to the cloud. You can access this information any time from your smart device allowing you to fix inaccurate temperatures before they become a bigger issue.

Measuring temperature during preparation

When you're getting ready to prepare your food, it's important to do a double check of the food before you start cooking it. Of course, this can get tedious if you don't have the right tools to provide you with quick measurements.

For quick, reliable measurement readings, turn to the Testo 106 food thermometer. It measures up to two measurements per second, getting right to the core temperature of the food. And don't worry about your presentation, the measuring tip was designed to ensure you can hardly see the puncture mark.

Final service check

Before the food is served, it pays to do a temperature check to ensure the food isn't going out undercooked. Again, this is an area that could slow you up if you don't have the right tools.

The Testo 104 food probe thermometer is essential to quality assurance, cold chain documentation and hygiene regulations. It allows you to do a quick spot check, probing the core temperature of liquid, semi-solid and viscous media. Again, its probe is slim so your patrons won't see the puncture mark when you serve them. It's HACCP compliant and waterproof, perfect for your kitchen.
