Cooking by Temperature

For many foods, internal temperature is the best test of doneness.

Roasts or poultry are cooked to perfection when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods accurately to a serving temperature you desire is simple and easy.

TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven shuts off automatically when the food is done.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion on page 14.
