Time Left to Cook
Time Left to Cook estimates the amount of time food needs to cook. Cook time
is determined by measuring and monitoring the cooking process, then applying
a series of estimating methods.
Time Left to Cook is designed to work best with large oven roasted meats,
but can also be used for other cooking applications.
1. Turn the unit on and confirm desired settings including the Target
Temperature.
2. For optimum performance, probe should be inserted into the thickest part of
the meat and plugged in at the start of the cooking process. Do not remove
the probe or power the unit off during cooking. The LCD display may turn off
due to inactivity, but you can press and release the "POWER" button at any
time to resume operation.
3. Once cooking begins, the rising temperature automatically prompts the
thermometer to calculate estimated cook time. The display shows rotating
dashes during the calculation process. Once the internal food temperature
reaches 105°F (41°C), the calculation will be displayed.
4. When estimated time left to cook expires (or reaches 0:00), an audible beep
sounds on the thermometer. In most cases, time left to cook automatically
adjusts for changes in the cooking process, however the following actions
may impact its accuracy:
•Removing food from the oven
•Adding cool liquids to cooking food
•Changing the oven temperature during cooking
•Disconnecting or removing the probe during cooking
•In some cases, basting
If you feel Time Left to Cook estimation has been compromised, reset the
thermometer by pressing and holding the "POWER" button to power OFF and
press again to power back ON.
