4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Inserting the Probe

Carefully insert the thin probe into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones. Ensure the probe is inserted deep enough, past the safe cooking line, to allow both the internal and ambient temperature sensors to function correctly. The probe features two sensors:

• Internal Temperature Sensor: Measures meat temperature (-4°F to 212°F / -20°C to 100°C).
• Ambient Temperature Sensor: Measures the surrounding cooking environment temperature (32°F to 572°F / 0°C to 300°C).

The BOHON app provides comprehensive control and monitoring features:

• Real-time Monitoring: View current internal and ambient temperatures on your phone. Readings are updated approximately every 0.8 seconds.
• Meat Presets: Select from 11 preset meat types (e.g., Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish, Hamburger) and desired doneness levels (Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well, Well). The app will suggest target temperatures based on USDA guidelines.
• Custom Presets: Set your own target temperatures for specific dishes or preferences.
• Alarms and Notifications: Receive alerts on your phone when the target temperature is approaching or reached. The app can also account for a resting period, notifying you when to remove the meat from heat to reach the final desired temperature after resting.
