To use:
1. Pull the meat or poultry out of the oven far enough to insert the stem
about 2 inches into the thickest part of the food but not touching bone.
2. Insert tines of fork into the center of food and wait 5 seconds.
3. Press and hold the “Press” button and read the LED display for level of
doneness.
4. Repeat this process until food is cooked to PERFECTION!
The USDA recommends the following method for taking food temperature:
Poultry:
Insert the meat thermometer into the inner thigh area near the
breast of the chicken or turkey but not touching the bone.
Ground Meat & Poultry:
The thermometer should be placed in the thickest
area of ground meat or poultry dishes. The thermometer may be inserted
sideways in thin items such as patties. If stuffed, stuffing temperature must
reach 165°F. Do this near and at the end of the stand time.
Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal, Ham - Roasts, Steaks or Chops:
The thermometer
should be inserted into the center of the thickest part, away from bone, fat
and gristle.
With your new Temperature Fork you will no longer have to guess when
your food is ready. The Temperature Fork’s built-in sensor accurately
gauges food temperatures from rare to well done. The indicator lights
show you at a glance how thoroughly your food is cooked. Not only is the
temperature fork a superb cooking thermometer, it is also a great serving
fork! The Temperature Fork works perfectly in the kitchen, dining room and
on the grill.
