Where it belongs in your plan
Place an appliance thermometer where you can read it with a quick look. Use a food probe only as directed, and record when the power stopped so temperature readings have a time frame.
Before you choose
Follow the placement and cleaning instructions. A current temperature reading cannot tell you how long food was warm earlier; note when the power stopped.

Protect refrigerated food
Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and the freezer at 0°F or below. Leave the doors closed. A cooler needs ice or another cold source; insulation alone will not keep food safely chilled.

Keep an up-to-date medicine list and prescription information with your supplies. Protect medicines from water. For refrigerated medicines, follow the labeled temperature range and ask a pharmacist about any interruption to storage.
Read the guide →A few useful answers
Can one reading prove food stayed safe?
No. You also need to know how long the food was without adequate cooling. Note when the power stopped and follow the food-safety guide.
Can I use any thermometer in the same way?
No. An appliance thermometer monitors the compartment; a food probe measures food when used as directed. Follow placement, cleaning, and temperature-range instructions for the model you choose.
