how to Use Your meat probe
• Prepare the meat for cooking prior to setting the oven. Insert
the skewer of the meat probe into the center of the meat.
Make sure that the skewer is not inside any fatty portions of
the meat and does not touch any bones. The point should
rest in the thickest part of the meat. When you are cooking
fowl, the tip of the skewer should rest toward the center of the
bird.
