Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.

cook a variety of foods to your
desired finished food temperature.
The TIME COOK
I

frozen foods and foods which are
difficult to cook precisely with

guesswork out of cooking because

the preset temperature. The Hold
feature
will
maintain this temperature
for up
to
twelve hours or
until
you
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
