How to use a meat

thermometer?
When using a meat thermometer, always make sure that the unit is
regularly calibrated to ensure accurate temperature readings. Use the
ice point or boiling point method for calibration depending on the
intended use of your meat thermometer. Accurate temperature readings
are critical for maintaining food safety.

In using a meat thermometer, follow these steps:

1 Clean and sanitize the tip of the meat thermometer.

2 Slowly insert the thermometer probe at least 2


inches into the thickest part of the food, avoiding
fat portions and bones.*

3 Make sure that the sensor of the thermometer


probe is inside the food.

4 Wait for the reading to stabilize before recording


the temperature. Allow at least 15 to 20 seconds
for the correct temperature to register.

5 Once recorded, remove the thermometer and


wipe it clean.

*For oven thermometers, leave the thermometer inserted into the food and monitor the temperature reading.
