on 2 levels
PLACEMENT
• Insert thermometer horizontally into the
center of the thickest part of the meat.
• 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.
• Make sure the thermometer is close to
(but not touching) the bone and away from
any fat or gristle.
NOTE: The thickest part of the fillet may
not be the center. It is important that the
tip of the thermometer hits the thickest
part so desired results are achieved.
• 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.
