Using the temp probe
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, measuring internal temperature best
determine
s
proper
doneness
. The
t
emp probe lets you cook meat
with
exact
ness
.
Once
the
food's
internal temperature reaches 100 °F
(37.7 °C)
, the
current
internal
temperature
appears o
n the display.
How to use the temp probe
1.
Push the tip of the
t
emp probe into the meat as fully as possible, so that the tip is in
the center of the meat.
•
Insert the probe completely into the
meat
(see left) without
touch
ing
bone,
fat, or gristle.
•
If you do not fully insert the probe,
it
will sense the oven temperature
; thus,
the reading will not reflect the food's
degree of doneness
.
•
For bone-in meats, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest
,
thickest
p
art
of the piece.
•
For whole poultry (turkey,
chickens,
etc.), insert the probe into the
thickest
part of the inner thigh, parallel
to the
leg.
•
If you activate the Keep Warm function
to keep the meat warm
after cook
ing
with
the
t
emp
p
robe, the meat’s
internal temperature will exceed the
intended "done"
temperature.
