The meat probe
Why?
The meat probe is a luxury feature which
will control the exact cooking of meats
and eliminate all elements of guesswork
or need to weigh and calculate.
How?
The probe consists of a skewer like sensor
probe at one end of a heat resistant cable,
and a plug at the other. (This device
should not be submerged in water, just
wiped clean with a damp cloth). Its method
of operation is as follows:
1
.
Remove the existing plug from the
probe socket which is located in the top of
the left hand side of the oven.
2. Insert the probe sensor into the centre
of the joint, taking care to avoid touching
bone and pockets of fat as this will give a
false temperature reading.
3. Place the joint, in a suitable tin, into the
oven cavity, and locate the probe
connecting pin into its socket.
4. Select the finished internal meat
temperature by means of the electronic
programmer and according to the
following chart:
Roasting Chart - Internal Temperatures
Pork
Well done
85 °C
Lamb
Medium
75 °C
Well done
82 °C
Beef
Rare
60 °C
Medium
70 °C
Well done
80 °C
Chicken
Well done
82 °C
(as poultry is a difficult shape with a great
deal of bone it is difficult to register a
correct finish temperature).
To do this, depress button D (^), and
keeping it depressed select the finished
internal cooking temperature by turning
knob E (—/+), release button D (
7
^).
Cursor light 4 will come on to show that
the programme has been accepted. This
cursor light and the temperature are
shown in red on the display.
5. Select the cooking method by means of
the oven control knob and the cooking
temperature by means of the thermostat
control knob.
The probe will register 30 °C to start with
then continue to register the internal
meat temperature throughout the cooking
period and convey the information to the
programmer. This will give a visual
read-out as cooking continues, and switch
off the oven when the selected temperature
has been reached. At no time it is
necessary to weigh the meat, the sensor
determines the cooking time. However,
the cooking time is obviously influenced
by the cooking temperature.
Once the selected temperature has been
reached the digits in the display start to
flash and the alarm will sound for two
minutes.
Turn the oven and thermostat control
knobs to their off positions.
Open the oven door and remove the probe
from the meat, then remove the probe
from the socket and replace the safety
plug. When the probe is removed from the
display digits and cursor light go out and
the oven automatically returns to manual
operation.
