TEMPERATURES
!
WA R N I N G
NEVER
partially cook meat
or poultry to finish cooking
later. Cook food completely
to destroy harmful bacteria.
HOW TO TELL IF
MEAT IS COOKED
THOROUGHLY
Meat and poultry cooked with this
appliance often browns very fast on
the outside.
Use a meat thermometer to be sure
food has reached a safe internal
temperature and cut into food to
check for visual signs of doneness.
When reheating takeout foods
or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, cook to 165° F/74°C , or until
steaming hot.
