 How to use a cordless digital kitchen thermometer

To prevent food poisoning, you need to be sure your food is cooked to the proper internal temperature. The best way to do this is with a kitchen thermometer, but if you have to open the oven door to repeatedly check the food, it will lower the temperature in the oven and raise it in the kitchen. The solution to this is to use a remote control wireless digital kitchen thermometer. By leaving the probe inside the dish during cooking, you can then set the remote digital reader that you take with you to the desired temperature. When the food reaches the set temperature, an alarm on the remote reader will go off, letting you know that the food is cooked. These addresses are similar to the Brookstone Grill Alert,

- Insert the batteries into both the thermometer and the remote control, according to the instructions included with the thermometer. Some require AAA batteries for both or AAA for one and AA batteries for the other. In most cases, both the thermometer and the remote control will need two batteries each.

- Place the probe plug for the thermometer into the connector on the transmitter. Turn on the transmitter by pressing and holding the power button until the LED light flashes.

- Turn on the monitor (remote) by pressing and holding the power button until the LED display on the remote control lights up. You should see a radio broadcast signal to show that the transmitter is connected to the remote unit.

- Watch for a single triangle on the remote monitor, indicating that there is no connection and the "reset" button on the transmitter and remote monitor may need to be pressed to reset the signal. The triangle will change to a triangle with several concentric circles around the top of it, like a radius icon.

- Press the "select" button on the transmitter until the type of dish being cooked is displayed on the LED display. These correspond to the cooking temperatures from the meat chart at the link in the Resources section.

- Press the "cook" button until you see doneness (rare, medium rare, medium and well done) displayed.

- Keep the remote monitor with you, but within 300 feet of the transmitter. When the meat has reached the correct temperature, it is indicated with a tone or a voice. Some models will inform you when the meat is 5 degrees F below the target temperature so you can prepare to remove it from the oven within the next 5 to 10 minutes.

- Remove the probe before serving. Another alarm will sound if the meat is left to cook too long. Turn off the remote transmitter and press and hold the power buttons each for at least two seconds or until the LEDs turn off.
