How to Use a Classic Cooking Thermometer Timer

    Instructions

    • 1). Decide how you want to use the thermometer timer. Do you just want to time something, just measure its temperature, or do both?

    • 2). Keeping track of time does not require that you insert the temperature probe into the meat. In fact, you can leave it coiled on the counter and simply set the timer for the desired amount of cooking time.

    • 3). Measuring temperature requires that you insert the probe into the coolest portion of the meat. For whole poultry, this is the inside of the thigh. For cuts of beef, insert the probe into the thickest area, with the tip midway through the meat and not touching the bone. With the probe inserted and meat in the oven, close the oven door on the probe wire and place the main timer unit on the counter nearby. If measuring the temperature of sauces, immerse the end of the probe in the liquid.

    • 4). Set a temperature alarm so that you'll know when your meal is ready. Consult a meat temperature guide for the ideal temperature for the type and cut of meat that you're cooking. When the alarm goes off, you'll know that the meat is cooked through to that temperature. You can also simultaneously set a timer for something else, such as an item that's baking in another oven or cooking on the stove.
      Conversely, you might use the temperature alarm to keep track of a sauce on the stove top so it doesn't get too hot, while using the timer to tell you when cookies or rolls in the oven are done.
