The Cuisinart CSG-100 Surface Thermometer is a compact, accurate tool for monitoring the surface temperature of any grill, griddle, or pan. Simply place the small thermometer on your cooking surface and you'll quickly spot hot spots—before they burn your food. The two wire handles let you safely move the thermometer from side to side (use heat-resistant gloves), and the fog-proof screen is designed to stay clear even during high-heat cooking. Whether you're a backyard grill master or a home cook who wants even browning, the CSG-100 gives you the data you need for consistent results.
Using the CSG-100 is straightforward: place it on preheated grill grates or a griddle surface, wait for the reading to stabilize, then glance at the dial. The wire handles make repositioning easy. To test accuracy, place the thermometer next to a known reliable probe thermometer on the same surface; if readings differ significantly, contact our support team for calibration guidance. You can also boil water and check it reads 212°F, but note this unit is designed for surface, not liquid, temperature.

Knowing the actual surface temperature of your grill or griddle lets you detect uneven heat zones and adjust your cooking technique. This is the secret to consistent sears and perfect browning.
For a quick check, place the thermometer in boiling water (surface reading should be near 212°F for fresh water). Alternatively, compare it to a calibrated grill probe on the same surface. If it's off, contact us.
On gas grills, position it over the burner for maximum heat; on charcoal, move it around to find cool and hot zones. Use the wire handles to reposition frequently.
Keep the thermometer dry and store it in a drawer or tool bag. Avoid leaving it on a hot grill when not in use. With proper care, it will provide years of accurate readings.
Place it on a surface next to a known reliable thermometer and compare readings. If there's a significant difference, contact our support team for guidance. It is factory-calibrated and should not require regular adjustment.
Preheat your gas or charcoal grill, then place the thermometer on the grate. Wait for the reading to stabilize before noting the temperature. Use oven mitts when handling hot wires.
No, it's designed for flat cooking surfaces only. Do not use it inside an oven or in liquids.
Built-in grille thermometers usually measure air temperature, not surface temperature. The CSG-100 gives you direct surface temperature for more accurate searing and cooking.
Wipe with a damp cloth after it cools. Never submerge it in water.
Finally know my grill temp!
I replaced my old probe thermometer because it was slow. This one gives a reading in seconds and is accurate within a degree or two. Great for cooking steak.
I am particular about cooking meat to the right temperature, and this thermometer helps me do that. The display is large enough for my aging eyes. It responds quickly and reads the actual surface, which is more useful than oven temperature. I use it on my cast iron skillet and on the griddle. The battery seems to last a long time.
It works well, but the probe is a bit flimsy. I wish it came with a case.
This thermometer put an end to my burnt burgers. I can check the surface heat of my cast iron skillet and know exactly when it's ready. It is simple to use and gives a quick reading. The only complaint is the probe cover is hard to remove.
Good for checking griddle temperatures before making pancakes. It's accurate enough for home cooking. The magnet on the back is handy for storing.
I got this for my boyfriend who loves grilling. Now he stops saying 'is it hot yet'.
I use this on my Blackstone griddle to even out hot spots. The reading is quick and I can move it around. It's not as fancy as an infrared gun, but it's a lot cheaper. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
So easy to use. Just point it at the pan and get a temp. The color is cute too.
Reliable thermometer. I use it for baking stone surface temperature.
I bought this because my mother always said the proper pan temperature is the secret to good cooking. This thermometer lets me see exactly when my pan is ready before adding oil. It is a small gadget, but it has improved my frying. The instructions are easy to follow.
I compared it to my expensive Thermapen and it's within a couple degrees. It's now my everyday thermometer. The only issue is the on/off button is a little stiff.
