Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

•Meat and poultry cooked on the appliance often browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

•We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your appliance.

•Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

•Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 160° F.

•NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

Water Level
