It's been since the 19th Century. The thermometers are basic, uses the bi-metal thermometers two different types of metals in coil (inside the metal stick or stem) formed, which contract and expand depending on the temperature to which they are exposed.

The round dial converts read the contractions and expansions in a Celsius and Fahrenheit. It is important to note that get the most accurate reading of the coil wrapped metals are immersed up to a point designated by a dimple on the stem must. Partial immersion, that do not reach the dimple in inaccurate measurements. Assuming that the dimple on the stem is higher than a few inches off the ground, the thermometer can not be used to measure the temperature of the chicken breast, potatoes, steaks, etc. It is primarily used with the thicker, rounder meat such as roasts.
