such as roasts and deep items
like foods in a crock pot.
Since heat conducts along
this thermometer faster than
through the food, take the tem-
perature in two to three areas to
verify the food temperature.
When inserting into food, let the
thermometer come to tempera-
ture at least one minute before
reading it.
You can also use disposable
(single-use) temperature indica-
tors to" check the internal tem-
perature of foods. Disposable
temperature indicators are de-
signed for specific ranges such
as 160 to 170 ° E Thus, you
should use these sensors only
with foods that should reach an
internal temperature within the
range. Remember, ground beef,
160 ° F; roast or steak, 145 ° F;
and poultry, at least 160 ° E
These single-use sensors
can't be inserted into food while
it is cooking. Instead, insert a
sensor into food toward the end
of the estimated cooking time. It
will change color when food
reaches the proper temperature
range.
Pop-up temperature devices
often are used for turkeys and
roasting chickens. These devices
are manufactured to pop up
"when the food reaches the final
temperature for safety and done-
ness. If accurately placed in
food, these timers are reliable
within one to two degrees.
However, it's recommended
to check other parts of the food
with a conv, entional food ther-
mometer.

tact the Bath County Coopera-
tive Extension Service.
Farming accidents
reduced with a
simple precaution
Countless farmers and land-
scapers have lost fingers and
arms using farm and landscap-
ing machinery, Injuries are com-
mon when operating machines
like corn pickers and mulchers,
because workers may be tempt-
ed to reach in and try to quickly
remove items that have become
stuck while the machine is still
on; other times, clothing or dan-
gling possessions are caught by
accident, An innovation, called
the L.T. Safety Devicet offers
users a safety device when using
corn pickers, mulchers or simi-
lar machinery. It protects users'
fingers and limbs from acciden-
tally getting caught and severed
while the machine is operating.
The user must always be a safe
distance away in order to engage
the machine, using the L.T.

the likelihood of bacterial conta-
mination.
When cooking food, don't
depend on color and texture to
indicate doneness. Recent
research has revealed that these
two factors are unreliable indi-
cators of when foods are suffi-
ciently cooked to kill pathogens.
For instance, ground beef may
turn brown before reaching an
internal temperature *that kills
pathogens. A hamburger cooked
to 160°F is safe, regardless of its
color. A roast or steak reaching
an internal temperature of 145 °
F is safe to eat. For safety, poul-
try should reach at least 160 ° F
throughout. You should also use
a food thermometer to ensure
that foods remain at a safe tem-
perature., of, 40 ° .F, ,or below, or
140 ° F or above.
Digital arid dial are two gen-
eral types of food thermometers.
Thermocouple and thermistor
are digital thermometers. A ther-
mocouple can measure and dis-
play the final temperature the
most rapidly, allowing you to
quickly check the internal tem-
perature in several places to
ensure that food is thoroughly
cooked. This feature is useful for
large items such as turkeys or
roasts, when it's advisable to
check the temperature in more
than one place.
The thermocouple and ther-
mistor can effectively measure
the internal temperature of both
thin and thick foods. These digi-
tal thermometers aren't designed
to remain in food while it's
cooking. Instead, use them to
check final temperatures near
the estimated cooking time. To
prevent over-cooking, check
temperatures before food is
expected to finish cooking.
The oven-safe bimetallic-coil
is a dial food thermometer. It
remains in the food while it's
cooking and constantly shows
the internal temperature and
generally is used for large items
such as a turkey or roast. It can
accurately measure the tempera-
ture of relatively thick foods

The inventors, Chris Len-
hardt and Danny Moses II, from
Keavy, Kentucky, began devel-
oping the L.T. Safety Device in
1999, The men have seen a lot of
their friends hurt, and know of
many other Instances where
people have been injured by the
products their invention is
designed for. They know that
many of these could be prevent-
ed if people use this precaution,
This original idea is now
being made available for licens-
ing to manufacturers interested
in new product development,
especially in the agricultural
equipment safety products in-
dustry. Mr. Lenhardt and Mr.
Moses is hoping to have the L.T.
Safety Device in full production
and available to the public with-
in the very near future.
