4.1 Probe Insertion

Proper probe insertion is crucial for accurate readings:

  • Internal Temperature: Shows the temperature inside the meat.
  • Ambient Temperature: Shows the temperature of your cooking environment (oven, grill, smoker).
  • Target Temperature: Set your desired doneness level using the app's presets or custom settings.
  • Alerts: The app will notify you when your meat reaches the target temperature or if other conditions (like high ambient temperature) are met.
