With the temperature probe, roasts, pork loin and
various cuts and sizes of meat can be cooked to
perfection.
The probe, in fact, allows foods to be cooked to
perfection because it accurately monitors the core
temperature of the food.
The core temperature of the food is measured by a
sensor located in the tip of the probe.
For cooking with the temperature probe see "Meat
probe cooking".
