Thermometrics Corporation has an extensive webpage describing the various types of temperature sensors used in measuring food temperatures in both professional settings and at home.

They have an additional webpage that reviews the reasons why knowing food temperature and time at temperature is important.

That page echoes the USFDA webpages on the subject that are linked in the TempSensor.net Directories along with others.

As the Holidays approach, more warnings will be posted about food temperature and the proper cooking temperatures and safe time for cooked foods to be out in the open without refrigeration. After all, bacteria have to live, too!
