GE CHS985SELSS

The GE CHS985SELSS Precision Cooking Probe is a device that works in conjunction with your GE Appliances Cafe induction cooktop to accurately control the temperature of a liquid within +/- 1°F. It enhances cooking operations such as slow cooking, simmering, and poaching, and enables precise cooking methods such as sous vide.

Here are some of the key features and possible use cases of the GE CHS985SELSS:

Precise temperature control: The probe can be set to any temperature in the range of 80°F to 200°F in increments of 1°F. This allows you to cook food to the exact temperature you desire, resulting in perfectly cooked meals every time.
