An accessory for measuring temperature in solidified products such as
frozen meats and frozen food in general, adapted to pierce the frozen
product. The accessory comprises a cavity enclosing a thermometry element
suitable for such purpose and is defined by a body made of a
thermo-conducting material. The accessory comprises a tubular portion
that can be inserted into the product which temperature needs to be
measured, and an operator handle for the accessory. A cavity enclosing a
temperature sensing element extends along the tubular portion to the
proximity of its distal end, which has a pointed end. The distal section
of the tubular portion comprises at least one helical cutting edge for
cutting the frozen product, which allows the insertion of the accessory
when being turned. The operator handle is perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis of the tubular portion, and comprises a hole that
connects with the cavity that contains the temperature sensing element.
