Pop-Up timers LIE!
« on: July 16, 2016, 08:38:22 AM »
I'm new to this- so you all may already know this. I only found out last night (while trying to achieve a decent turkey breast) that the stupid pop-up timer doesn't pop until an internal temp of 180-185. So... While I was trying to get 165... My wife kept insisting that the timer has to pop up or it's not done.  :-\

Needless to say... My meal was less than decent. Actually, the entire thing will be turned into pot-pie later this week.

At least yours is still edible. I've made stuff my dogs wouldn't eat. It's a process Matt, live and learn. Next time you'll know. Hang in there.
