Cooking with Meat Probe

CAUTION

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in Figure 27, and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera- ture which is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.

IMPORTANT

•Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, electronics, and the receptacle.

•Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

Proper placement of probe in food.

•Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food (See Figure 28). For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.

•For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint.

•For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.

•When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

•For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of inner thigh, just below the leg (See Figure 29).

NOTE

On some models, the meat probe receptacle may be located in the top of the oven cavity, toward the front.
