Temperature probe

NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Do not store the probe in the oven.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

Proper placement of the probe

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

1Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

2Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.
