Probe Cooking

What should my staff know about probe cooking before we start?
The probe is very helpful when you are not sure of the correct cooking time or you have a specific
internal temperature you must reach.
• You can cook by either time or temperature [probe] with the Cadco, Ltd. Line Chef™
Combination Oven
• You are able to use the probe in multi cycle cooking programs.
• The probe can eliminate guess work by stopping the cooking cycle at a preset internal product
temperature.
• Place the probe in the thickest part of the product you are cooking to assure accurate readings.
• Do not position the probe next to a bone or in fat or your readings may not be accurate.
• Be sure to clean the probe and wipe it with an alcohol swab after each use.
• A dirty or contaminated probe can cause cross contamination and food borne illness.
• Always keep the probe clean and free from food residue to avoid cross contamination.
• When you use the Probe Plus™ feature you will always use the probe.
• Most product shrinkage [and moisture loss] will occur between the internal product temperatures
of 130°F. and 160°F.
• When you have a "window "of only 20°F. between rare and well done, you must be careful not to
over cook your meats
• Use the probe to establish cooking times for new products or standardize cooking times for
existing products.
• When in doubt always use the probe and cook to the proper internal temperature.
