Using the probe (on some models).
Formany foods, especially masts andpoultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.

After preparing the meat and placing it
on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid,

bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.

the inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg of a whole turkey.
