Meat Probe
When
cooking
meat
such as roasts, hams or poultry,
use the
meat
probe function
to check the internal
temperature
without
any guesswork.
For some foods,
especially
poultry
and roasts,
testing
the internal
temperature
is the best method
to insure
properly
cooked
meats.
Important
note:
•
Use only the meat probe supplied
with appliance.
Using any
other probe
or device
may result in damage
to appliance
and the meat
probe
receptacle.
Never
leave or store meat
probe inside oven.
Handle
the meat
probe carefully
when inserting
and
removing
from food
or probe
receptacle.
Do not use tongs
to pull on meat
probe cable
when inserting
or removing
from food
or receptacle.
Defrost
food
completely
before
inserting
meat
probe
to
avoid damaging
probe.
•
To avoid
possibility
of burns, after
cooking
carefully
unplug
meat
probe using a pot holder
to protect
hands.
Proper meat probe
placement:
Always
insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center
of the thickest
part of meat.
Do not allow
meat probe
to touch
bone, fat, gristle
or cookware.
For bone-in
ham or lamb,
insert meat
probe
into the center
of
lowest large
muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat
loaf or
casseroles,
insert meat
probe into center
of food.
When
cooking
fish, insert meat
probe just above
the gill.
For whole
poultry
or turkey,
insert meat
probe
into the thickest
part of inner thigh,
below
the leg (See Figure 30).
To set meat probe:
Prepare
the food
and
properly
insert the tempera-
ture probe
into the food.
Do
not preheat
or start cooking
before
properly
inserting
the
meat
probe.
Probe should
be
inserted
into the food
and
receptacle
while the oven is
still cool.
