Using Your CPT for Prime Rib or Turkey: Yes, You Can!Updated 7 months ago

Many of you love using your Combustion Predictive Thermometer (CPT) for smaller cuts, but you're wondering about those big, show-stopping pieces of meat. 

One user perfectly summed up what many of you are thinking and posted it on our Reddit forum:

"I use the thermometer a lot for things like roasting a chicken or making a smaller beef roast, but I was wondering if anyone has had success using it for a really large piece of protein like prime rib or a large turkey? I just assume that the probe is too short to get into the center so is it even worth using?"

Well, I've got great news for you: Your CPT is more than up to the task! 

Let's break down how you can use it to nail those impressive roasts every single time.

CPT Placement

• The Side-Step: Our CEO, Chris Young (yep, the big boss!), recommends sliding that probe in from the side, like a ninja. Slice parallel to the thermometer to hide the insertion - no unsightly holes, and you'll hit that thermal bullseye every time!

Chris whipped up a quick video showing how he makes his mouthwatering holiday prime rib here. If you're feeling inspired, check out the recipe in the comments section.

• Turkey Tactics: Remember, turkeys aren't solid all the way through (they're hiding a secret cavity in there). Aim for the thickest part of the thigh or breast instead of the center.
• Go Deep: Don't be shy - your CPT can handle it! As one of our savvy users pointed out, "You can push it all the way in to the yellow, instead of to the minimum mark." Trust me, your CPT won't mind a bit.

Big Cuts? No Sweat!

Our users have successfully tackled everything from 26-pound turkeys to 10-pound prime ribs. One even nailed a 40-pound turkey on the grill!

Tips

• Double Up: For extra-large or oddly shaped cuts, use two probes.
• Trust the Magic: Remember, your CPT predicts cooking time – super handy for these long-cooking beasts.
• Size Doesn't Matter: At least when it comes to probe length! Our CPT is designed to reach the heart of even the beefiest roasts. 

So there you have it! Your CPT is ready for anything, from chickens to turkeys. It's not just possible to use it for big roasts – it's a game-changer. 

The CPT's predictive magic means you can time everything just right, whether you're cooking for two or twenty-two. 

Go ahead, be bold with your next big roast. And hey, when you nail it (because you will), share your success with us! We love seeing what you cook up.

Happy roasting, everyone! 🍗🍖🎉
