Testo 106 Digital Food Thermometer

Fast Core Temperature Checks for Professional Food Control

The Testo 106 digital food thermometer is a compact penetration thermometer designed for quick core temperature checks in professional food applications. Its integrated stainless steel penetration probe can be inserted directly into food and other suitable semi-solid products, making it ideal for food production, catering, commercial kitchens, restaurants and food retail.

With a wide measuring range from -50°C to +275°C, a slim probe tip and adjustable visual and audible temperature alarms, the Testo 106 provides a practical solution for routine food temperature inspections and quality control.

Slim Penetration Probe for Core Temperature Measurement

The Testo 106 features an integrated stainless steel penetration probe for measuring temperature inside food rather than simply at the surface. The slim probe tip helps minimise puncture marks while allowing direct core temperature measurement in suitable foods and semi-solid products.

Wide -50°C to +275°C Measuring Range

The wide -50°C to +275°C measuring range allows the thermometer to be used across chilled, frozen and heated food applications. This makes it suitable for temperature checks at different stages of food production, preparation, storage and serving.

Fast Food Temperature Checks

The Testo 106 has a measuring rate of 0.5 seconds and a specified t99 response time of approximately 10 seconds in moving liquid. Its compact design and straightforward operation make it particularly convenient when multiple temperature checks need to be carried out during routine food inspections.

Visual and Audible Temperature Alarms

Upper and lower temperature limits can be set directly on the instrument. When a specified limit is exceeded, the thermometer provides visual and audible alarms, helping users identify temperature deviations quickly during food checks.

Auto Hold for Easier Reading

The Auto Hold function automatically recognises when the measured temperature has stabilised and retains the final value on the display. This makes readings easier to view and record during repeated core temperature measurements.

Designed for Professional Food Applications

As a compact penetration food thermometer, the Testo 106 is particularly suited to professional environments where food temperatures need to be checked regularly. Typical applications include catering operations, commercial kitchens, food production, restaurants, hospitality and food retail.

Optional TopSafe Protection

The Testo 106 can be combined with the optional Testo TopSafe protective case for use in more demanding food environments. When used with TopSafe, the instrument achieves IP67 protection and is suitable for measurements in accordance with HACCP and EN 13485 requirements.
