USING PRODUCT:
The thin tip of the probe measures the current
temperature as displayed on the LCD.
The thermometer always displays the current
temperature (it does not lock to a reading).
1. Press button on back of product to switch on.
2. To measure the temperature, gently insert the
tip of the probe into the centre (thickest part)
of the meat/food.
Ensure the probe is not in contact with bone, fat
or gristle as this will affect the validity of the
reading.
3. The LCD will show the current temperature at
the end of the probe (it may take a few seconds
to reach its final temperature).
Always clean between each use. Do not leave the
thermometer in oven while cooking. Do not use the
thermometer to lift or turn food items.
TEMPERATURE CHARTS
For your guidance, the temperature chart at the
back of this booklet shows meat temperature
recommendations from both Heston and from the
USDA*. Heston’s temperatures are often slighter
lower and are specifically developed to give the
best possible taste and texture result for each
food type. However, it is important to understand
that if you choose to use temperatures lower than
the USDA guidelines, there may be a greater health
risk involved; particularly when cooking meat,
poultry & fish. Use of fresh ingredients and safe
food handling is very important. The manufacturer
accepts no responsibility or liability for food borne
illnesses which may occur from food prepared
using this product or temperature charts.
* USDA = United States Department of Agriculture,
currently publishing the most detailed recommended
guidelines.
RESTING MEATS
Once meat/poultry has reached its final
temperature, always rest for a minimum of
3 minutes before carving/ serving. For really
succulent meat that is easier to carve, Heston
recommends resting:
– Small cuts (eg: steaks, breasts & burgers) for
5 minutes.
– Larger cuts (eg: roast chicken & other roasting
joints) for 30 – 45 minutes.
