For a more reliable doneness check, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the food, away from bone or the cooking pan. Check near the end of cooking, then compare the reading with a food-safe temperature guide for what you're making. For thin cuts, insert the probe from the side to reach the center.
