Frequently Asked Questions

What guarantee is there for ETI UK manufactured probes?

All Electronic Temperature Instruments manufactured probes that are sold separately to a thermometer unit carry a six-month guarantee in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Does a plastic probe compromise on accuracy?

Not at all. The smooth FEP material is designed specifically for the food and catering industry.

Is a plastic probe as hygienic as a metal probe?

It is naturally non-stick and wipes clean with standard antibacterial probe wipes, ensuring you can prevent cross-contamination between checks.

How quickly does the FEP plastic probe take a temperature reading?

The probe has a response time of 8 seconds. This allows kitchen and catering staff to carry out their routine hot and cold food temperature checks efficiently, without holding up service or food delivery.

Can a plastic probe withstand high cooking temperatures?

Yes, it can. While it is made of flexible FEP plastic, this probe is highly heat-resistant. It can safely and accurately measure food temperatures up to 250 °C, making it perfectly suited for checking hot meals, roasted meats, and freshly baked goods in busy catering kitchens.

Why should I choose a plastic thermometer probe over a metal one?

Standard metal penetration probes feature sharp, rigid tips that can pose a security or injury risk in vulnerable settings. An FEP plastic probe is softer and flexible, eliminating the danger of it being used as a weapon or causing accidental harm. This makes it a crucial health and safety tool for high-security areas like prisons, or high-risk environments like mental health wards, nurseries, and aircraft.
