Probe
i^L,., WARNINGI
Consuming undercooked food can resultin foodborne illness. Use probe
according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking
temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at
www.foodsafety.gov or www.lsltDoneYet.gov.
Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry.
The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food
temperature reaches the programmed temperature.
Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to
ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.
Proper Probe Placement
After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking
pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.
[] Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the
probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of
the food. For best performance the probe should
be fully inserted into the food. if the probe is not
located properly, it may not accurately measure the
temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some
foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for
cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
[] The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
[] For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest
part of the breast.
[] For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center
of the roast.
[] For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
[] For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the
probe into the center of the dish.
[] For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into
the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.
