Proper Probe Placement Guidelines
After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking
pan follow these guidelines for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat, up to the
handle, such that the point of the probe will rest in the
center of the thickest part of the meat.
The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest
part of the breast.
For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center
of the roast.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the
probe into the center of the dish.
For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into
the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.
Check the temperature at other locations in the food
with a food thermometer once the probe temperature
is reached to ensure that all portions of the food have
reached desired temperatures.
