Operating Instructions

1. Insert the Stick: Carefully insert the MeatStick into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones. Ensure the entire stainless steel probe is inside the meat, with only the ceramic handle exposed.
2. Set Up Cook in App: Open "The MeatStick" app. Select the type of meat and desired doneness. The app will provide recommended target temperatures and cooking profiles.
3. Monitor Temperature: The app will display real-time internal and ambient temperatures. The quad sensors provide a comprehensive view of the meat's temperature, with the app typically registering the lowest internal temperature as the cook temperature for food safety.
4. Receive Alerts: The app will notify you as your meat approaches and reaches its target temperature, accounting for carryover cooking.
5. Remove and Rest: Once the target temperature is reached and the app indicates, carefully remove the MeatStick from the meat. Allow the meat to rest as recommended for optimal juiciness.
