STABILIZATION ALERT
- Insert the probe into your food and hold the icon. The word HOLD will blink and after several seconds, a “beep” will sound to indicate the stabilized temperature.
- Reading is held as long as you are holding the icon. Release to return to normal.
MAX/MIN
- Double-tap the icon to display the maximum temperature for the current session. Tap again for the minimum temperature.
- To exit, tap again.
- Hold the icon during MAX/MIN to clear values.
AMBIDEXTROUS DISPLAY
- Built-in motion sensors detect when the device is upside-down and rotate the display accordingly. A simple solution for awkward angles and left-handers alike.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-
Sleep Mode
If left idle for more than 10 minutes, the thermometer will automatically enter sleep mode. Simply tap the touchpad or move the thermometer to wake. -
Motion-sense Backlight
Motion sensors allow the backlight to be illuminated by a simple swing of the thermometer, making it operable even with heat-proof gloves on. -
Antimicrobial Coating
Silver-based antimicrobial additive is impregnated into the plastic shell to inhibit pathogen growth with efficacy rated at 99% or greater. -
Tapered Sensor Tip
The ultra-sensitive thermistor sensor is located at the tip of the probe, requiring a minimum insertion distance of 0.25″ (5mm).
PERSONALIZATION
Toggle various functions on your thermometer using switches found inside the battery bay. You must restart the device to have these changes apply.
- toggle C°/ Fo
- toggle auto sleep
- toggle stabilization alert
- toggle tenth degree
ACCURACY TEST
- To check the accuracy of your thermometer, we recommend devising an ice bath test. Fully pack a large cup with crushed ice and fill up to 3/4 with purified water.
- Let the slurry sit for a minute, then give it a stir to allow the temperature to equalize throughout. Insert the tip of the probe into the very center of the cup and stir gently. In 3 to 4 seconds, the display will read within 0.9 °F (0.5°C) of 32°F (0°C).
TROUBLESHOOTING
- WON’T SWITCH ON: Retract and extend the probe or change the battery
- NOT ACCURATE: Test accuracy using a crushed ice bath or contact customer service
- DISPLAYING “LO BATT”: The Battery is running low, change the batteries
- CHANGE C°/ F°: Use personalization switch 1 to toggle between units
- DEVICE ASLEEP: Tap on the pad or move the device to wake
- RESET FACTORY SETTINGS: Turn off the device and flip all personalization switches downwards
- DON’T HEAR “BEEP”: Make sure to hold the touchpad long enough
- “HOLD” DOESN’T BLINK: Use personalization switch 3 to activate the stabilization alert
USE & MAINTENANCE

THAWING MEAT CORRECTLY
-
Ideal: Refrigerator
The ideal situation would be to have time to plan ahead for tomorrow’s meal. If that’s the case, the best and safest way to defrost your frozen meat is in the refrigerator meat will defrost at a consistent temperature that’s below the USDA’s safety mark of 40 °F (4°C). However, this method may take up to 24 hours to fully defrost larger cuts of meat. -
Not So Ideal: Cold Water
When you have to prepare your dish within the day, then defrosting in cold water is the way to go. Place your protein in a resealable bag and submerge it in a large bowl of cold tap water. Use the water to help push the air out of the bag before you seal it. Just as with the refrigerator method, thawing times depend on the size of the protein. Small items like sausage, chicken breasts, and thin cuts of steak will defrost within an hour. Thawing larger cuts can take 2 to 3 hours. -
Emergency: Microwave
If you’re completely out of time and require immediate defrosting, your microwave is the only option. Remove the protein from its plastic packaging, place it on a clean plate, and use your microwave’s defrost function. Keep a close eye on your protein as microwaves can cause hot spots and defrost unevenly. Check the defrosting progress every 45 seconds or so.
IMPORTANCE OF RESTING MEAT
- When we’re cooking large pieces of meat like rib roasts or turkey, we’ve always been told to let the meat rest before cutting into it. Why is that? There are a couple of reasons why ‘resting’ meat is a good idea.
- As meat cooks, the muscle fibers start to contract and the juices get pushed out, much like wringing a wet towel. This moisture moves outward toward the surface of the meat, where some of it eventually evaporates.
- When you take your meat off the heat, the moisture is still unevenly distributed throughout the protein. If you cut into it right away, the liquid will actually pool out and your beautiful dish will end up very dry. By letting it rest, the muscle fibers will start to relax, pulling in and reabsorbing the juices. Cut it open now, and some of the liquid will still spill out, but far less than before. The result is a far more juicy piece of meat.
- There’s also a second reason why you want to let it rest. A large piece of meat will actually continue to cook for a few minutes after you take it out of the oven. This is called carry-over cooking and is why many recipes tell you to take the meat out of the oven a little before the meat is done cooking.
- Once you take it out from the oven, tent the meat in foil to keep it warm once the internal temperature peaks. The amount of resting time for a particular cut of meat or cooking technique will vary, though it’s usually between 10 and 20 minutes. Your recipe will be your best reference for this.
