Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found atwww.foodsafety.gov or www.IsItDoneYet.gov.Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry.The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal foodtemperature reaches the programmed temperature.Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking toensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.Proper Probe PlacementAfter preparing the meat and placing it on the cookingpan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.Ŷ ,QVHUWWKHSUREHLQWRWKHIRRGVRWKDWWKHWLSRIWKHprobe will rest in the center of the thickest part ofthe food.
