Carryover Times + TempsUpdated 8 months ago

We don't recommend resting for most things, but there are some times when it's very useful.

If you plan to rest your food, set the target temp lower to compensate and leave the thermometer in. That way you'll know exactly when to slice and quickly cool your food if it's in danger of going too high.

Carryover effects can vary greatly (depending on temperature differential, water content, mass, and surface area), but they are repeatable with the same cut and same cooking plan.

Keep track! You might not nail it on the first try, but with the Predictive Thermometer you can tune it in.

We're still working on getting a precise-enough carryover prediction to be worthwhile. We've got a whole math team for that!
