Best for: Checking internal temperature and taking the guesswork out of doneness.

An instant-read thermometer gives you a quick temperature reading inside the food. It is especially handy when the outside looks ready but you need to know what is happening in the middle.

How to Use It

Insert the probe into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone.

Wait for the reading to settle.

Check more than one spot or piece against the appropriate safe cooking temperature.

Clean the probe between checks, especially after testing undercooked food.

Care tip: Wash and sanitize the probe as directed, keeping the display and electronics out of water unless they are rated for immersion.
