Important: This thermometer is meant to track food temperatures periodically throughout the process, it is not oven safe and cannot be left in food during cooking. How to Use: (1) Remove food from oven and insert thermometer in the thickest part of the meat, 3/4 inches past the center, not in contact with bone, fat or gristle and wait for the temperature to stabilize. (2) If additional cooking time is needed, remove the thermometer from the food and return the dish to the oven. Recalibration: This thermometer can be recalibrated if temperatures begin to seem inaccurate. Attach the thermometer sleeve over the stem aligning the hex nut with the wrench. Immerse the thermometer steam at least 2 degrees into an ice slurry (32 degrees F). Let the temperature stabilize and use the wrench to rotate the hex nut until the thermometer reads 32 degrees F. If the sleeve is not accessible a wrench or pliers may be used. Cleaning and Care: Handwash only. Do not immerse in water or put in dishwasher. Attach sleeve through hole for recalibration or extend the handle.
