you have to poke it with your fingers!. make a fist, and then pinch the area between your thumb and index finger, they should have the same texture!.it's useful for steaks too!.the more loose ur fist is, the rarer the steak is!.

The food thermometer should be placed in the thickest part of the food and should not be touching bone, fat, or gristle!.
Compare your thermometer reading to the USDA Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures to determine if your food has reached a safe temperature!.
Make sure to clean your food thermometer with hot, soapy water before and after each use!
Large-dial oven-safe or oven-probe thermometers may be used for the duration of cooking!.
Because there are so many types of food thermometers, it is important to follow the instructions for your food thermometer!.
