A method for
handling food, comprising the following steps: • Providing several thermometers (10), each with a
thermometer (10) specific identifier, wherein each
thermometer (10) comprises at least one
core temperature sensor (14) and an external temperature sensor (15); • Providing at least one
food item (100) in which one of the thermometers (10) is inserted, hereinafter referred to as the "inserted
thermometer", wherein the
core temperature sensor (14) of the inserted thermometer (10) is located further inside the
food item (100) than the external temperature sensor (15); • Continuously measuring an external temperature with the external temperature sensor (15) of the several thermometers (10); • Continuously wirelessly transmitting the external temperature together with the specific identifier of each thermometer (10) to a
control unit (30).• Transferring the food (100) together with the inserted thermometer (10) from a first receiving chamber with a first receiving chamber temperature to a second receiving chamber with a second receiving chamber temperature, wherein the two receiving chamber temperatures differ from each other, •
Thermometer assignment: Assigning, using the
control unit (30), which of the several thermometers (10) was transferred as the “inserted thermometer” together with the food (100), based on the measured external temperature of the several thermometers (10).
