Step 1:
Use steak at least 1 to
1%
inches thick. Lay probe on top of
steak to determine the position
probe is to be inserted. Gauge
distance from edge to center of
largest muscle; mark with thumb
where edge of meat or fat meets
probe. Be certain NOT MORE
THAN 2 inches of probe, not
counting handle, is left exposed
outside of meat.
Step 2:
Lifi
probe from meat
keeping thumb in place on probe.
Insert probe as near as possible to
center of thickness of steak. Push
probe into steak to where thumb
meets fat or meat.
Step
3: For rare steaks cook first
side to 90 on meat thermometer
dial; for medium to 100; for
well-
done 110. Set Meat Thermometer
Dial to preferred doneness.
Step
4: At sound of buzzer, turn
steak; check probe to be certain it
has not moved out of position.
Reset pointer on Meat Thermometer
and cook second side. See guide on
oven near Meat Thermometer Dial.
NOTES:
●
If there is a question about
whether probe has moved out of
position during cooking, turn knob
so pointer moves down on dial until
buzzer sounds. Note indicated
temperature and reset pointer to
SIGNAL OFF. Push probe farther
down into roast, about 1 inch, then
after a few minutes redetermine
internal temperature as above. If
new temperature is lower, the probe
was probably out of position. If so,
allow meat to cook to proper
internal temperature.
●
Let meat thaw enough to allow
inserting probe. The probe is
sturdy but take care not to force it
too hard into roast.
● Do not disconnect probe during
cooking. Use hotpads when
removing probe at end of cooking.
Do not use tongs to pull on cable
since they may damage it.
