USING THE BUILT-IN THERMOMETER – CONT'D
HOW TO CORRECTLY INSERT THE THERMOMETER
FOOD TYPE:
PLACEMENT
Steaks
• Insert thermometer
Pork chops
horizontally into the center
of the thickest part of the
Lamb chops
meat.
Chicken breasts
• Make sure the thermometer
Burgers
is close to (but not touching)
Tenderloins
the bone and away from any
Fish fillets
fat or gristle.
• Make sure the tip of the
thermometer is inserted
straight into the center of
the meat, not angled toward
the bottom or top of it.
NOTE: The thickest part
of the fillet may not be
the center. It is important
that the end of the
thermometer hits this area
so that desired results are
achieved.
Whole chicken
• Insert thermometer
horizontally into the thickest
part of the breast, parallel to
(but not touching) the bone.
• Make sure the tip reaches
the center of the thickest
part of the breast and
doesn't go all the way
through the breast into the
cavity.
NOTE: DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner than 1 inch.
