l
For casseroles, the tip of the probe
should be in the center of the food.
Stir foods when recommended.
Replace the probe.

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.

Casseroles cooked using the Temper-
ature Probe should be made from pre-
cooked foods. Do not use raw meats,
raw vegetables and cream sauces in
casseroles.

Thaw frozen casseroles and meats in
the microwave oven before inserting
the probe.

all the mugs may not heat at the
same rate.

Drv meat loaf mixtures don’t work
well.
