VERSATILE AND PRECISE!

• The IRT220 is perfect for professional results

with meats, poultry, yeasts, dough and chocolate
tempering. Use this thermometer for foods cooked
in conventional or microwave ovens, smoke ovens,
rotisserie or on the grill.

• This Insta-Read® thermometer is a precision

instrument, yet is rugged and durable. Use it

®

for quick, accurate readings during stovetop
cooking — or after food has been removed from
conventional or microwave ovens.

• The slender stainless steel stem penetrates meat

easily, and minimizes the loss of juices.

• Temperature and eld ccalibration guides are

available at www.CDNkitchen.com

Note: Clean the thermometer stem before each use.

Impor tant: DO NOT LEAVE IN HOT OVEN OR
MICROWAVE.

Tip: Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes

after it is removed from oven. This allows time for the
meat’s internal temperature to stabilize and the juices to
redistribute. This will result in a roast that is both juicier
and easier to carve.

Note: Clean the thermometer stem before each use.

HOW TO RECALIBRATE YOUR
THERMOMETER

A bimetal Insta-Read® dial thermometer may lose
accuracy after years of use or after a particularly
hard jolt. The hex nut on the underside of the
thermometer is used to bring the thermometer back
into calibration. First, you need a container of water
at a known temperature – the closer to the mid-range
the better. A fever thermometer is ideal for measuring
the temperature of the water.

Making an Ice Slurry

1. Fill a 1 cup measuring container with a slurry of ice
water using 3 parts crushed ice to 1 part water.

Note: It is very difcult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water temperature.

It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C.

2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes.

Using the Calibration Tool on Sheath

1. Seat the hex nut on the thermometer into the
wrench on the sheath.

2. Immerse the stem into the middle of the ice slurry
or boiling water (212°F/100°C at sea level) to a
depth of at least 3 inches. Do not let the stem

touch the bottom of container.

3. Rotate the nut clockwise to increase the reading.
Rotate the nut counter clockwise to decrease
the reading.

4. Stop adjusting when the pointer indicates the
temperature of the water.

Using Boiling Water

Boiling water (adjust for altitude above 1,000 feet*)
can be used to recalibrate your thermometer.

Please be cautious around boiling water.

*Note: For every 500 feet of elevation, reduce the expected
boiling point of water by 0.5°F/0.25°C.
