No two pieces of protein are alike, and, for that reason, they’ll
never cook the same. That’s why we recommend paying close
attention to the sizes of meat listed in our cooking charts.
Here are some more tips to ensure a great cooking experience.
Reasons meat cooks differently
Did you know? Meat keeps cooking
when you remove it from the grill.
To prevent overcooking, the unit will beep right before your food
reaches desired doneness, taking carry-over cooking into account.
Removing your food
Transfer meat to a plate using silicone-tipped
tongs with the thermometer still inserted.
WARNING: Thermometer and grip will be hot.
Carry-over cooking & resting
Allow protein to carry-over cook
and rest for 3–5 minutes. “REST” will
appear and timer will count up.
NOTE: Skipping carry-over cooking and cutting into food right away may result in a rarer level of doneness.

Beef Doneness Guide
Everyone's idea of doneness diers. This guide shows you what you
can expect from each of our preset beef doneness settings.

NOTE: Beef Doneness Guide is based on New York Strip Steak.
Using dierent cuts of steak and dierent sizes can alter the outcome.
Reference usda.gov for food-safe temperature recommendations.
Proteins come in dierent shapes and sizes,
which require dierent cooking times. If you are
cooking proteins that are dierent sizes, insert one
thermometer into the smaller cut, and the other
into the larger cut, and the grill will tell you when
each one is done.
For cuts 2 inches or thicker (e.g., filet mignon)
we recommend selecting the lower temperature
setting within the desired doneness category (e.g.,
Rare 1 instead of Rare 2).
For your convenience, cooking
charts were created for use with
cold meat, straight from the fridge.
For even juicier results
If time permits, let meat come
to room temperature for about
30 minutes before cooking for a
more juicy center.
