Page 33

Temperature Probe cooking tips:

•Stir foods during cooking when recom- mended.

•Stir soups, casseroles, and drinks before serving.

•Cover roasts with foil after cooking and let stand a few minutes. Remove foil if you decide to cook it longer.

•Remove the probe from the oven when not cooking by temperature.

•For casseroles, the tip of the probe should be in the center of the food. Stir foods when recommended. Replace the probe.

•For liquids, balance the probe on a wooden spoon or spatula so the tip of the probe is in the center of the liquid.

•For roasts, the tip of the probe should be in the center of the largest muscle, but not touching fat or bone.

Microwave Cooking

•Casseroles cooked using the Tempera- ture Probe should be made from precooked foods. Do not use raw meats, raw vegetables, and cream sauces in casseroles.

•Dry casseroles do not work well.

•Thaw frozen casseroles and meats in the microwave oven before inserting the probe.

•If you are cooking more than one indi- vidual serving at the same time, such as mugs of soup, check the probe setting in several of the items – all the mugs may not heat at the same rate.

•Dry meat loaf mixtures do not work well.

•Check pork and poultry with thermom- eter in two to three places to ensure adequate doneness.

•Roasts may vary in size, shape, and composition. Use the Temperature Probe as a guide.

Don’t:

•let probe or probe cable touch any part of the oven interior.

•let probe touch foil (if used). You can keep foil away from probe with wooden toothpicks. Remove foil if arcing occurs.

•use paper, plastic wrap, or plastic contain- ers. They will be in the oven too long and might distort.

•force probe into frozen food.

•plug the pointed end of the Temperature Probe into the socket.
