No more variance!

Can it measure high temperature sample?

Yes, the soup's temperature significantly drops, so a stabled measurement will be available in about 30 seconds.

Can it measure any types of soup?

If the soup is high in fat content, the oil may separate from the suspending fluid creating light and dark spots. Please agitate before pressing START button for a stable reading.
