Using the oven
Using the temperature probe
For many meats, especially roasts and poultry, measuring the internal temperature is
the best way to determine if the food is properly cooked. The temperature probe lets
you cook meat to the exact internal temperature you want. This function can be used
with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast, or Pro Convection. After the internal
temperature of the food reaches 100 °F, the increasing internal temperature will be shown
on the display.
How to use the temperature probe
1. Push the probe into the meat, so that the tip is in the center of the meat.
• Insert the probe completely into the
meat as shown in the illustrations. It
should not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
If you do not fully insert the probe
into the meat, the temperature probe
function will not work correctly
because the probe will sense the oven
temperature, not the temperature of the
meat.
• For bone-in meats, insert the probe into
the center of the lowest and thickest
portion of the piece.
• For whole poultry (turkey, large
chickens, etc.), insert the probe into the
thickest part of the inner thigh, parallel
to the leg.
• If you activate the Keep Warm function
to keep the meat warm after you have
cooked it using the temperature probe
function, the meat may be overcooked.
