Question
Is a cooking thermometer (metal and touches food) required to be immersed in a mikvah? (It is not used for cooking)
If so, with a blessing?
If it requires immersion, what should be done since it is not waterproof (electronic)
Thank you very much
Answer
Hello
There is no need to immerse the thermometer.
Since it is not a preparation or cooking utensil, but rather a tool for a person to check the state of the food.
