Always insert your thermometer at least 50 mm (1.97”) into your food. Don’t worry, it’s clearly marked.

Followup question: what’s up with that?

The water content of the food protects the tip of the predictive probe. It won’t go above boiling if there are any water molecules left. Science! Your pork butt protects the probe and the probe protects the pork butt. That’s why we put the more delicate electronics and battery in the tip.
