Details

Markings: "How to Use the/ Taylor/ ROAST MEAT/ THERMOMETER/ Prepare roast for oven as usual,/ then using the skewer packed here-/ with, drive a hole into the thickest/ part of the meat, pull out the/ skewer and carefully insert ther-/ mometer in the hole thus made./ The point of the thermometer/ should be in the center of the meat/ and must not contact bone,/ gristle or fat. Place the meat in the/ oven with the thermometer in-/ serted and leave the thermometer/ there during the cooking process./ When the black liquid in the tube/ reads in the desired stage remove/ meat and it will be cooked just right./ NOTE/ This thermometer is very sensitive./ Read immediately you open oven/ door as liquid will recede if oven/ door is left open just a short time./ Do not touch thermometer with/ damp cloth or place it on cold/ surface while it is hot. It will fracture the glass./ Authorities agree that moderate/ oven temperatures are best to con-/ serve flavour and juices. Use oven at/ 300 [degrees] F to 350 [degrees] F. A Taylor Oven/ Thermometer will tell you accu-/ rately. With high oven temperatures/ as much as from 25% to 30% of/ your meat is lost by shrinkage, and/ unpalatable food results. Best/ roasts are produced by keeping/ meats uncovered in oven, eliminat-/ing all basting and searing./ Taylor Instrument Companies/ Rochester, N.Y."printed on liner.
