MEAT PROBE

Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most

effective way of ensuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork.

Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep

warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.

The following temperature settings apply to the probe

function:

°Default: 170°F / 76°C

°Minimum: 130°F / 54°C

°Maximum: 210°F / 99°C

Proper probe placement

°Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.

For bone-in ham or Jamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of

the food. To find the center of the food visually measure with the probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill.

°For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 1-.
