How Do You Use An Instant-Read Meat Thermometer?
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that roasted meat or poultry is thoroughly done. Instant-read thermometers are versatile and fast, and provide a temperature reading in just a few seconds. Read the instructions that came with the instant-read meat thermometer. Prepare meat or poultry as desired and put into oven or microwave, but do not insert the thermometer. To test doneness, pull roasting pan out of the oven or microwave and insert instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, without touching bone. Wait a few seconds for the reading to appear. Remove thermometer and put meat back into oven if more cooking time is needed. Repeat until meat is done according to temperature on the thermometer.
