stuckincincy Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I have heard ad infintum - when you insert a temperature probe into meat to be roasted - do not let the probe contact bone. I hear this precaution all the time. What happens when the inserted probe, in fact, contacts bone? Is the reading falsely high, or it it falsely low???

stevestojan Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 So, let me get this straight... When checking the heat of your meat, you wanna know what affect the bone has? just clarifying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I actually did Google it (I googled "turkey temperature bone", and the few sites i clicked said "When checking the temp, avoid the bone as this can give an inaccurate temp reading." None of the three I clicked said in which direction, but the link to the Hormel site (the 2nd result) wouldnt open for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Excellent website for why... 132538[/snapback] Nice. I looked there first. No info. My highly educated guess is that calciferous objects are not noted for heat conduction, so the appearent reading would be less. The concrete encasing your brain would be a useful analogy.

VABills Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer in the center of the inside thigh muscle, making sure the bulb of the thermometer does not touch the bone. If the bulb touches the bone, the thermometer will give an inaccurate reading. http://www.bhg.com/bhg/story.jhtml?storyid...ata/sc_1592.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 It's either a conspiricy by the meat packers or the AMA. Probably both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty ugly. I have a Yamaha VStar 1100. I don't know how anyone in their right mind can pay $20K plus for a production motorcycle. I could have bought my bike twice and plenty of additional chrome for the price of a comparable HD. I'm thinking about building one, though. That'd be kinda cool.

stuckincincy Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 A query about meat temperature morphs to motorcyles.
