MeatThermometer

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

■Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

■After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
