What kind of meat are you talking about? If you are pan frying, stick it in the thickest part of the meat... If it is a roast, before you put it in the oven, stick the probe all the way through the meat. Mark the spot on the probe with your finger and pull out. With your other hand feel about where half way is and mark it with the bottom edge of a piece of masking tape ... When you want to check the temp, stick the probe down to your marked spot and it will be in half way I don't think it really matters that much ... You only need to be close and keep it in for a few seconds and it will just give you a general idea so you know your meat is done enough to be safe to eat.

How would that work? What if the thermometer said that one part of the meat was cooked so I thought it was all done when it was just that one part that is done? Also how does the temperature of the meat tell you when it is done?, before you put it in the oven, stick the probe all the way through the meat top to bottom. Mark the spot on the probe with your finger on top of the meat and pull out. With your other hand feel about where half way is and mark it with a small rubber band or piece of tape ...

Hi. I am completely blind in both eyes. How do I know when meat is done cooking? I can not see what color it is and I do not trust the cooking time that is written on the instructions because no 2 ovens are the same. sent from my BrailleNote _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
