BIOS Professional Meat Thermometers and Manuals

Start with the model or item number on the thermometer and search the manufacturer's product or support pages. Keep the manual for the exact version, not merely the same brand.

Clean the probe, place its sensing area in the centre of the thickest food and avoid bone. Wait for a stable reading and compare it with current Canadian guidance.

Only if the instructions for that model identify the probe or thermometer as oven-safe. Handheld instant-read units should normally be removed after checking.

Check it against an appropriate reference using the manual's procedure. Adjust only if the model supports calibration; otherwise contact support or replace a unit that reads outside its tolerance.
