USING THE FOOD PROBE THERMOMETER
The food probe gives a live reading of the core temperature of the food, and in order to give the most
accurate result, it is important to insert it correctly. The temperature sensor is located in the tip of the food
probe, so this section of the probe should be inserted into the center of the food. The food probe measures
core temperature up to 212°F (100°C).
For boneless roasts and smaller items like steak,
chicken breast, and fish, lay the probe on top of the
food to find the depth to which you need to insert it in
order to reach the center of the thickest area. Once
you have this, use your fingers to mark the location
on the probe and insert it into the food from the side,
through and into the thickest section. For bone-in
roasts, use the same insertion technique, but be sure
to avoid touching the bone with the probe.
For whole poultry like chicken, turkey, and duck, insert
the food probe into the thickest part of one of the
breasts using the same technique outlined above.
