Roasting with the roast probe
How it works
The roast probe measures the core
temperature of the food precisely,
enabling consistent results every time
you roast. This is particularly useful
when roasting joints of beef or fillet. The
duration of the progamme and time it
ends will depend on the temperature of
the food to start with.
The oven switches itself off
automatically when the core
temperature of the food being cooked
reaches the set temperature.
You can use the roast probe with almost
all of the oven functions. Except:
Infra-red full grill, Economy grill and
Defrost.
The roast probe should not be used
with poultry. Because of the amount of
bone and cavity space it is difficult to
find a good place to insert the probe.
Ensure that the roasting filter is fitted
on the back wall of the oven when
roasting on the rack or in an open
dish.
When you have finished using the
probe, remove the plug from the socket
and close the cover flap (when it is cool
enough to touch).
Take care as the probe shaft may be
hot.
Never leave it in the oven when not in
use. It could get damaged by the heat
produced in another function. Keep it in
a safe place, in a drawer, for example.
Proceed as follows:
^
From the right hand side, insert the
tip of the probe into the middle of the
meat. Ensure that it is not touching
any bones, and that the tip is not
sticking into a layer of fat.
^
Place the roast in the middle of the
oven, on the rack with the grill pan
underneath, or in the grill pan.
^
Raise the cover flap and insert the
probe plug into the socket until it
engages.
Make sure the probe cable cannot
come into contact with the grill
element.
