Where to Place the Meat Thermometer?
• Ground Beef – Place in the thickest area of ground beef dishes such as meatloaf. The thermometer should be inserted sideways in thin items such as hamburger patties. • Roasts and Steaks – Insert into the center of the thickest part, away from bone, fat and gristle. • Casseroles – Insert into the thickest portion. When using a thermometer, do not touch the cooking pan.
