mina wants to check the temperature inside an oven.
azeem wants to check the temperature of chicken stock in a tall stock pot.
jeremiah wants to check the temperature of the griddle before placing hamburger patties.
huan wants to check the temperature of the last rinse cycle of the dishwasher.
options:
a maximum registering thermometer
a thermocouple with an immersion probe
a thermocouple with a surface probe
a thermistor with an air probe

Explanation:

• Mina (oven temperature): Oven air temperature is best measured by a thermistor with an air probe, as it senses air temperature.
• Azeem (chicken stock in tall stock pot): For liquid in a deep pot, a thermocouple with an immersion probe is used to submerge and measure liquid temp.
• Jeremiah (griddle surface for hamburger patties): Griddle is a surface, so a thermocouple with a surface probe is ideal for surface temp measurement.
• Huan (dishwasher last rinse cycle): To measure the maximum temp reached in the dishwasher cycle, a maximum registering thermometer is suitable as it records the highest temp.

Answer:

• Mina wants to check the temperature inside an oven. → a thermistor with an air probe
• Azeem wants to check the temperature of chicken stock in a tall stock pot. → a thermocouple with an immersion probe
• Jeremiah wants to check the temperature of the griddle before placing hamburger patties. → a thermocouple with a surface probe
• Huan wants to check the temperature of the last rinse cycle of the dishwasher. → a maximum registering thermometer
