Infrared thermometers, often referred to as “point and shoot,” capture the invisible infrared energy naturally emitted from all objects. When aimed and the trigger is pulled, the thermometer instantly scans the surface temperature of an object from up to two feet away. This is a very useful tool for taking oven temperature and also the temperature of different areas in the refrigerator or room. The IR-Gun-S, by ThermoWorks, has a range of −76° to 1022°F/−60° to 550°C.
