5.1 Using the Thermometer

1. Insert Probe: Carefully insert the stainless steel probe into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones. Ensure the probe is inserted past the safety line (ceramic handle) to protect the internal electronics from high heat.

3. Monitor Temperature: Place the meat in your oven, grill, smoker, or air fryer. Keep the dock station within 10ft of the cooker for optimal signal to the probe. Monitor the temperatures in real-time on the dock's LCD screen or through the app on your smartphone.
4. Receive Alerts: The app will notify you when your meat reaches the target temperature or when the ambient temperature deviates from your set range.
5. Rest Meat: Once the target temperature is reached, remove the meat from the heat. The app may provide guidance on resting times to ensure optimal juiciness and tenderness.
