BakeOcouple

POSITIONING FIXTURE FOR REPEATABLE THERMAL PROFILING OF TRAYED BAKED GOODS

Achieve consistent, high-yield baking results with the BakeOcouple™ positioning fixture—a novel tool that enables precise, repeatable placement of thermocouples into small, thin baked goods such as buns, biscuits, muffins, and pastries, ensuring accurate measurement of critical temperature thresholds. Placing loose thermocouples into dough can result in random, inconsistent placement and deliver unreliable measurement results. BakeOcouple’s simple, elegant design enables thermocouple centering, depth control, and stability, ensuring temperature measurement precision and consistency.
