Use the scale on the front of the timer and set it up against the side of the steak. The timer scale and thickness input choices increases in one quarter inch increments from ¾ to 1 ¾ inches. Measure each steak from four different sides. Sometimes steaks are cut uneven. Always use the thickest measurement. If the measurement is in between the quarter increments, input the next larger increment. Example, if part of the steak measures 1 inch and part of it measures 1 1/16 or 1 1/8 inch, input and accept the 1 ¼ thickness choice.
