WARNING
How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very
fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat
thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal
temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of
doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your
appliance.
• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear
and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be
cooked to 160° F.
• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
