Understanding Digital Thermometers
A digital thermometer reads and displays temperature digitally. It is quick and easy to use, making it a favorite for measuring temperature in cooking, medicine, and other applications. Most digital thermometers give readings in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) by default. However, you may need to change the unit of temperature depending on the purpose or preference. Here is how to do it.
