Early History

This section does not cite its references or sources.
You can help Wikipedia by introducing appropriate citations.
The first thermometer was a thermoscope. Different versions of the thermoscope were invented by several inventors around the same time. The first to put a numerical scale on the thermoscopes was the Italian inventor Santorio Santorio. In 1593, Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer (using the contraction of air to draw water up a tube). In 1714, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer.
Types of thermometers
Mercury-in-glass thermometer
Thermometers have been built which utilise a range of physical effects to measure temperature. Most thermometers are originally calibrated to a constant-volume gas thermometer.

Preprogrammed probe cooking thermometer-timer
The Biloxi Sun Herald - Nov 17 1:22 AM If you cook your turkey the old-fashioned way - in a roaster - you will find this gadget will save you from over-cooking the bird. Just put the probe in the turkey and run the heat resistant cable to the programmable thermometer-timer (which sits outside your oven). No need to open and close the oven door - wasting energy and slowing cooking times - because the digital display shows the internal Save
CDN thermometer easy to read
Akron Beacon Journal - Nov 15 6:32 AM Nothing ruins a turkey like overcooking. To track its climbing temperature from across the kitchen, where you no doubt have other Thanksgiving duties to worry about, we like the large number display, multipurpose function and ease of use of CDN's new Touch-Screen Probe Thermometer/Timer.Save
Exurbanites abound in our metro area
Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune - Nov 16 8:04 PM Laurie Ziegler commutes from a spot so far west of Minneapolis that on her way home she can lose the signal from AM radio. So far west that the thermometer on her dashboard can register a drop of 10 degrees. So far west that "the last tank of gas I charged on my debit card hasn't cleared my bank by the time I am filling up again." When she reaches her 8 acres in Wright County, however, she has Save
Mormon missionaries proselytize despite hurdles
Rapid City Journal - Nov 16 11:03 PM At 5 p.m., the thermometer reads 103 degrees in the shade, and Elder Jeff Pyper, a burly young Mormon missionary with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has been knocking on doors in a Rapid City neighborhood all afternoon.Save
What's In Store | Sili Sling; CDN Touch-Screen Probe Thermometer/Timer
Miami Herald - Nov 16 12:19 AM WEIGHT LIFTER: Add the Sili Sling to the arsenal of approaches for lifting a roasted turkey out of a hot pan. The oval-shaped, perforated silicone liner with handles can sit on the rack, directly under the bird. It works, although the handles can get hot enough to require oven mitts if you're transferring the turkey out of the oven immediately. It does not seem to inhibit browning under the bird. Save
