Positioning the Meat Probe

After preparing the meat and placing on the rack or cooking tray, follow these steps for proper probe placement.

1.Lay 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

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