| Roast |
A meat thermometer is the best way to determine when a roast should be taken out of the oven. The thermometer should be inserted so bulb reaches center of thickest part of meat. Follow meat-cooking directions. |
| Roast fowl |
About 20 minutes before the bird should be done, press a thick part of drumstick. If it’s very soft, the fowl is done. The thermometer in the thigh will read 200 degrees when both the stuffing and turkey are done. |
| Candy |
The thermometer tells you when candy is ready to take off heat. Keep your eyes in line with the marking when you read thermometer and be sure the bulb is completely immersed in mixture. Or you can drop a little syrup into cold, but not icy, water. For the soft- and hard-ball stages, use your fingers to shape the drop. The hardness of the ball formed indicates the temperature of the candy. |
