Temperature Probe cooking
tips:
l
Stir foods during cooking when recommended.
l
Stir soups, casseroles and drinks before
serving.
l
Cover roasts with foil after cooking and let
stand a few minutes after cooking. 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 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 tigetables 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 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 Temperature Probe
as a guide, along with the timings for minutes
per pound found in the ‘Microwave Cooking
chart’ on page 30.
