Cooking with the
leave-in thermometer
The Foodi™ Smart Thermometer continues to monitor
doneness throughout the cooking process, unlike a traditional
instant-read thermometer.
STEP 2
Plug In Thermometer
• Insert thermometer in protein
using the guide on page 5.
STEP 1
Set up
• Remove thermometer from the
storage compartment on the right
side of the unit. Unwind the cord.
• Remove cap from jack inside
lid on bottom right, then put
cap in thermometer storage
compartment for safekeeping.
• Plug thermometer cord into jack.
STEP 5
Select Cook Function
• Press the PRESET button.
• Use the right arrows to choose
the desired protein.
• Use the left arrows to choose
the desired doneness.
• Press START/STOP to
begin cooking.
STEP 4
Add Food
• Move slider to PRESSURE,
STEAMCRISP, or AIR
FRY/STOVETOP.
• Use dial to select the desired
cooking function.
NOTE: When using the
thermometer with the Pressure
function, ALWAYS set the pressure
release to QUICK RELEASE to
avoid overcooking the protein.
STEP 6
Program Thermometer
STEP 3
Place Thermometer
• Add the food to the unit. Make
sure the thermometer grip is fully
inside the unit, then close the lid.
STEP 7
Carry-Over Cook & Rest
STEP 8
Replace Cap
• After cooking in the unit, it’s
important to let proteins carry-over
cook and rest on a plate for
3–10 minutes.
- 3 minutes for fish fillets
- 5 minutes for proteins under 1 lb
like steaks, chicken breasts
and thighs, and pork chops
- 10 minutes for proteins over 1 lb
like whole roasts and chickens
• Carry-over cooking is when food
retains heat and continues to cook
after being removed from the
source of heat. Resting helps lock
in the protein’s natural juices.
• Did you know? Meat keeps cooking
when you remove it from the unit.
To prevent overcooking, the unit
will beep right before your food
reaches desired doneness, taking
carry-over cooking into account.
NOTE: Skipping carry-over cooking
and cutting into food right away may
result in a rarer level of doneness and
may cause the protein’s natural
juices to run dry.
• When unit has cooled,
replace
the cap on the jack.
Using the thermometer in different cooking scenarios
SAME PROTEINS, SAME SIZE
DIFFERENT DONENESS
SAME PROTEINS
DIFFERENT SIZES
2+ DIFFERENT PROTEINS
1 Set the Preset feature to the
lower desired level of doneness.
2 Insert the thermometer in the
protein with the lower desired
level of doneness.
3 When the lower desired level
of doneness is reached, remove
the protein with the thermometer
from the unit. Use oven mitts
to transfer the thermometer to
the remaining protein.
4 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for
the second protein.
1 Set the Preset feature to the
desired level of doneness
for the smaller protein.
2 Insert thermometer in the
smaller protein. Then refer
to steps 5 and 6 above.
3 Using oven mitts, transfer
thermometer to the larger
protein, as thermometer is
hot, and use the arrows to the
left of the display to choose
the level of doneness.
1 Insert thermometer in the
protein with the lowest
desired level of doneness.
2 Use the Manual feature to choose
the desired internal temperature
(refer to Owner's Guide).
3 Use oven mitts to transfer
thermometer to the other protein,
as thermometer is hot, and use
the Manual feature to choose the
desired internal temperature.
