Hints for using the Temperature Probe
Do...
l
stir foods during cooking when recommended.
l
stir soups, casseroles and drinks before serving.
. cover roasts with foil after cooking and let stand a
few minutes. Remove foil if you decide to cook it
longer.
l
remove the probe from the oven when not
cooking by temperature.
Don’t...
l
let probe or probe cable touch any part of the
oven interior (including the turntable).
l
let probe touch foil (if used). Foil can be kept
away from probe with wooden toothpicks.
Remove foil if arcing occurs.
l
use paper, plastic wrap or plastic containers.
They will be in the oven too long and might
distort.
. force probe into frozen food.
l
use probe for food that needs to simmer.
. plug the pointed end of the Temperature Probe
into the socket.
Temperature Probe cooking tips
l
For casseroles, the tip of the probe should be in
the center of the food. Stir foods when recom-
mended. Replace the probe.
l
For liquids, balance the probe on a wooden
spoon or spatula so the tip of the probe is in the
center of the liquid.
l
For roasts, the tip of the probe should be in the
center of the largest muscle, but not touching fat
or bone.
l
Casseroles cooked using the Temperature Probe
should be made from precooked foods. Do not
use raw meats, raw vegetables and cream
sauces in casseroles.
l
Dry casseroles do not work well.
l
Thaw frozen casseroles and meats in the
microwave oven before inserting the probe.
l
If you are simultaneously cooking individual
servings, such as mugs of soup, check the probe
setting in several of the items - all the mugs may
not heat at the same rate.
l
Dry meat loaf mixtures don’t work well.
l
Remember that roasts may vary in size, shape
and composition. Use the Temperature Probe as
a guide, along with the timings for minutes per
pound found in the Cooking Guide.
