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 (Figure 35).
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.
