Temperature Probe cooking tips:

l Stir foods during cooking when recom- mended.

l Stir soups, casseroles and drinks before serving.

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

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

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

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

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

l Casseroles cooked using the Temperature Probe should be made from precooked foods. Do not use raw meats, raw veg- etables and cream sauces in casseroles.

l Dry casseroles do not work well.

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

l 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.

l Dry meat loaf mixtures do not work well. l Check poultry with thermometer in 2-3

places to ensure adequate doneness. l Roasts may vary in size, shape and

composition. Use the Temperature Probe as a guide, along with the timings for minutes per pound found in the “Microwave cooking chart” on page 63.

Don’t:

l let probe or probe cable touch any part of the oven interior (including the turntable).

l let probe touch foil (ii used). You can keep foil away from probe with wooden tooth- picks. Remove foil if arcing occurs.

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

l force probe into frozen food.

l use probe for food that needs to simmer. l plug the pointed end of the Temperature

Probe into the socket.
