Common questions
Questions before you buy
Where do you insert a meat thermometer in chicken breast?
Slide the probe into the thickest centre, often from the side.
How do you use a meat thermometer on chicken breast?
Wait for a stable reading and sanitise the probe afterwards.
What if the breast is thin?
Insert horizontally to keep the sensor centred.
Can appearance replace temperature?
No; browning does not measure the centre.
