Convection Roasting With Probe; Using The Oven - GE GRCR3960ZWW Use And Care Manual

Using the Oven

Convection Roasting with the Probe
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
On some models a temperature probe has been provided
for use in the oven. This probe is designed to withstand
high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with
other products, such as those used for microwave ovens,
may not be designed to withstand high temperatures. Use
of probes other than the one provided with this product
may result in damage to the probe.
Never leave your probe inside oven during a self
cleaning cycle.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal
food temperature is the best test for "doneness". The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one
end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet
on the oven wall.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on
the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper
probe placement.
1. Lay the probe on the
outside of the meat
(along the top or
side) and mark with
your finger where
the edge of the meat
comes to on the
probe. The point of
the probe should rest
in the centre of the
thickest meaty part
of the roast.

(on some models)
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and
removing from the meat and wall outlet. Do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing the probe.
TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE SURE
FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED BEFORE
INSERTING.
(Refer to Oven Control Centre's Operating Instructions
insert to set the oven for convection roasting with a
probe.)
2. Insert the probe into
the meat up to the
point marked off with
your finger. It should
not touch the bone, fat
or gristle.
No more than 2
inches of the probe,
not counting the
handle, should be left
exposed outside the
meat.
