Temperature probe cooking tips
For casseroles, the tip ot
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.
For roasts, the tip of the
probe should be in the
center of the iargest
muscle, but not touching
fat or bone.
• Casseroies cooked using the
Temperature Probe shouid be
made from precooked foods. Do
not use raw meats, raw vegeta­
bles and cream sauces in
casseroles.
• Dry casseroles do not work well.
• Thaw frozen casseroles and
meats in the convection micro­
wave oven before inserting the
probe.
• If you are cooking individual
servings such as mugs of soup,
check the probe setting in sev­
eral of the items - all the mugs
may not heat at the same rate.
• Dry meat loaf mixtures don’t work
well.
• Remember that roasts may vary
in size, shape and composition.
Use the timings for minutes per
pound as a guide as well as the
Temperature Probe.
