Using The Thermometer In Different Cooking Scenarios; How To Correctly Insert The Thermometer - Ninja FOODI FG550 Manual Del Propietário

USING THE NINJA® FOODI™ SMART XL GRILL – CONT .
6 While the unit is preheating, insert the
thermometer horizontally into the center
of the thickest part of the piece of protein.
Refer to the chart on the adjacent page
on further thermometer placement
instructions.
7 When the unit has preheated and
"ADD FOOD" appears on the screen,
open the hood, place food with inserted
thermometer in the unit, and close the
hood over the thermometer cord.
Correct thermometer placement.
Thermometer grip is fully inside unit.
8 The progress bar at the top of the display
will track doneness. Flashing doneness
indicates progression to
that doneness.
NOTE: When using Grill, Roast, and Air
Fry, the unit will beep and display FLIP.
Flipping is optional, but recommended.
9 The unit will automatically stop when
desired doneness is almost reached, as
it accounts for carry-over cooking, and
"GET FOOD" will display on the screen.
10 Transfer the protein to a plate while
"REST" displays on the screen.
Thermometer does not need to still be
inserted. The protein will continue to
carry-over cook to your set doneness,
which will take about 3–5 minutes. This
is an important step, as not resting could
lead to results looking "less" cooked.
Carry-over cook times can vary based
on size of protein, cut of protein, and type
of protein.
NOTE: The thermometer will be HOT.
Use either oven mitts or tongs to take
the thermometer out of the protein.
NOTE: To check the internal temperature
of other pieces of protein, press and hold
MANUAL and insert the thermometer
into each piece of meat.

USING THE THERMOMETER IN
DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS:
Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same
size to different levels of doneness:
• Set the Preset feature to the highest
desired level of doneness.
• Insert the thermometer in the protein with
the higher desried level of doneness.
• After preheating, place proteins inside
the grill. When the lower desired level of
doneness is reached, remove the protein
without thermometer.
• Continue cooking the remaining protein
until the next desired level of doneness
is reached.
Cooking 2 or more proteins
of different sizes:
• Insert thermometer in the smaller protein
and use the Preset feature to choose the
level of doneness.
• When that protein is done cooking, remove
it from the unit.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer
to the larger protein and use the arrows to
the left of the display to choose its level of
doneness.
Cooking 2 or more different types
of protein:
• Insert thermometer in the protein with the
lower desired level of doneness.
• Use the Manual feature to choose the
desired internal temperature.
• When that protein is done cooking, remove
it from the unit.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer
to the other protein and use the Manual
feature to choose the desired internal
temperature.

HOW TO CORRECTLY INSERT THE THERMOMETER

FOOD TYPE: PLACEMENT
Steaks • Insert thermometer
horizontally into the
Pork chops
center of the thickest
Lamb chops
part of the meat.
Chicken breasts
• Make sure the
Burgers
thermometer is close to
Tenderloins
(but not touching) the
Fish fillets bone and away from any
fat or gristle.
• Make sure the tip of the
thermometer is inserted
straight into the center
of the meat, not angled
toward the bottom or
top of it.
NOTE: The thickest
part of the fillet may
not be the center. It is
important that the end
of the thermometer hits
this area so that desired
results are achieved.
Whole chicken
• Insert thermometer
horizontally into the
thickest part of the
breast, parallel to, but
not touching, the bone.
• Make sure the tip
reaches the center of
the thickest part of the
breast and doesn't go
all the way through the
breast into the cavity.
NOTE: DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner
than 1 inch.
