USING THE OVEN: Probe / Cookware Probe WARNING Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at www.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 food temperature reaches the programmed temperature. Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food. Proper Probe Placement After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies. Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards. Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning. Keep cookware clean to promote even heating. 12 49-80788
