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 it longer.

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

. let probe touch foil (if used). Foil can be kept away from probe with wooden tooth- picks. Remove foil if arcing occurs.

Temperature Probe Cooking Tips

For casseroles, the tip of the probe should be in the center of the food. Stir foods when recom- mended. 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.

Casseroles cooked using the Temperature 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 simultaneously cooking individual servings, 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 don’t work well.

Remember that roasts may vary in size, shape and composition. Use the Temperature Probe as a guide, as well as the timings for minutes per pound found in the Cooking Guide.

Removing and Cleaning the Temperature Probe

1.After oven has shut off, unplug the Temperature Probe using hot pads.

2.Wipe probe with a hot sudsy cloth, rinse and dry thoroughly. Use a plastic scouring pad to remove cooked-on foods.

3.Probe may be placed in the silverware basket of the dishwasher.
