Tip:
Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes after
it is removed from oven. This allows time for the meat’s internal
temperature to stabilize and the juices to redistribute. This will
result in a roast that is both juicier and easier to carve.
Precautions
• Do not touch the tines after use. The tines will
be HOT.
• The fork housing is constructed with heat resistant
plastic. HOWEVER, take caution not to subject
the housing to prolonged high temperatures (most
often over the grill). The electronic circuitry inside
the fork housing may be damaged if subjected to
prolonged high temperatures.
• Clean the thermometer tines before each use to
prevent cross contamination.
• Wash tines with hot soapy water after final use.
