ROASTING
Because of variations in Skillets and cuts of meat and poultry, it is important to use a
meat thermometer when roasting to accurately determine internal temperature. To test
temperature, insert thermometer into the thickest piece of meat or poultry, making sure
it does not touch a bone or any part of the Skillet.
