Usage Recommendations

Place the probe into the thickest part of meats to get the most reliable internal temperature reading, avoiding bones and fatty areas for best accuracy. For oven or pan checks, insert the probe carefully and wait a few seconds until the displayed temperature stabilizes. When not in use fold the probe down and store the thermometer in a dry spot to prolong its life.

Because the unit is dishwasher safe, wash cycles at high commercial temperatures are supported, but occasional hand drying helps prevent moisture build-up around the hinge. For precision tasks, allow the thermometer to come to ambient temperature after moving it from a very cold or very hot environment before taking another measurement.
