Temperature Probe cooking
tips:
l
Stir foods during cooking when recom-
mended.
l
Stir soups, casseroles and drinks before
serving.
l
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.
l
For casseroles, the tip of the probe
should be in the center of the food. Stir
foods when recommended. 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 Tempera-
ture Probe should be made from pre-
cooked foods. Do not use raw meats, raw
vegetables and cream sauces in casse-
roles.
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-ail the mugs may not heat at the
same rate.
l
Dry meat loaf mixtures do not work well.
l
Check poultry with thermometer in 2-3
places to ensure adequate doneness.
l
Remember that roasts may vary in size,
shape and composition. Use the Tempera-
ture Probe as a guide, along with the
timings for minutes per pound found in the
“Microwave cooking chart” on page 41.
Don’t . . .
l
let probe or probe cable touch any part
of the oven interior (including the turn-
table).
l
let probe touch foil (if used). You can
keep foil away from probe with wooden
toothpicks, Remove foil if arcing occurs.
l
use paper, plastic wrap or plastic contain-
ers. They will be in the oven too long and
might distort.
l
force probe into frozen food.
l
use probe for food that needs to simmer.
l
plug the pointed end of the Temperature
Probe into the socket.
