I am cooking 2 corned beef roasts today, one to be eaten tonight and one to turned into sandsich meat with an electric slicer, so I went ahead and threw them both in the slow cooker. I've never bothered to check temp in a slow cooker because if it's fork-tender, it's obviously done.
I obviously don't want to cook the sandwich roast until it's falling apart or I won't be ablt to slice it. My dad suggested I pull it out at medium and I'm wondering if it's safe to leave my meat thermometer in with all the steam. Of course I've used it in the oven before, but an oven doesn't trap moisture the way a slow-cooker does.
Will the moisture damage my thermometer? Thank you in advance!
