black probes

[LaLaMatt]

ok, so a couple of smokes and my probes for my thermometer are mostly black. Does that have a big impact on functionality? How do I clean them without damaging them?

thanks,
Matt

Wipe the cords with clean damp cloth or sponge but don't submerge them. The probe ends you need to keep more clean and sanitized. I use a kitchen sponge that has the scrubbie on the one side with antibacterial cleaner such as Clorox clean-up or Kitchen Cleaner. In fact I use that stuff for much of my kitchen sanitizing duties. But I save money and make my own now than buying it.

Rubbing alcohol will take it right off, if it's really thick, use a green scrubbie with the alcohol.
Otherwise a paper towel will do the job.
