No, you can`t measure the internal temperature of meat or anything else with an infrared thermometer. They are non-contact pieces of equipment and only read the external temperature of any type of surface, including the food you’re preparing. So, though you can use it to check the temperature of the oven or grill you`re cooking the meat on or measure the outside temperature of the meat, you`ll need to use a probe thermometer to get a proper reading of the internal temperature to determine if you`re meat is cooked properly.
