Watch out using 303 for food processing. It's restricted for some
uses
in the US. It pits.

What do you know about Inconel 600 for food, specifically for a
thermocouple probe in simmering tomato sauce or acidic meat
marinade?
The applications tech at Omega knew even less about it than I do.

The probe I bought from them reads 212.1F in boiling water.

"The main limitation with thermocouples is accuracy; system errors
of
less than one degree Celsius (°C) can be difficult to achieve."

I don't know anything about it, but this site says it's an
"effective
tool" in food processing.

That stands to reason, because it's a very corrosion resistant
nickel-chrome-iron alloy.

You'll see many Google references to Inconel 600 and food
processing.

Many references, little hard data.
