OVEN CONTROLS
Cooking with Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking
foods such as roasts, hams or poultry.
For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check
internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly
cooked food.
When set correctly, the probe feature will signal an alert
when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set
target temperature.
When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-
ture which is visible in the display during the cooking
process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to
open the oven door to check the thermometer.
To properly place the probe:
•
Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the
center of the thickest part of meat or food (
Figure 32
).
For best results, do not allow the probe temperature
sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.
•
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint. For meat loaf or
casseroles, insert the probe into center of food. When
cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
•
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor
into the thickest part of the breast (
Figure 33
).
Figure 31: Using the probe
•
Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable
or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using
the provided handles, as shown in
Figure 31
.
•
To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking with the
probe, use care when disconnecting the probe from
the receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be
sure to always use a pot holder to protect your hands.
•
Before starting self clean, verify that the probe is
removed from the oven interior. The high tempera-
tures during self clean may damage or destroy the
probe.
•
To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foods
completely before inserting.
