For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Thetemperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes flTto
the outlet f17the oven.
