How far to stick meat thermometer?

The general guideline for using a meat thermometer is to insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, making sure it does not touch any bones or the bottom of the cooking pan. The tip of the probe should be placed ideally in the center of the meat. The depth to which the thermometer should be inserted will depend on the type of meat being cooked. As a general rule, for thicker cuts of meat, such as roasts, the probe should be inserted at least 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm). For thinner cuts, such as steaks or chicken breasts, the probe should be inserted approximately 1/2 to 1 inch (1.25-2.5 cm). It is always a good idea to consult the specific cooking guidelines for the type of meat you are preparing, as recommended probe depth may vary.
