Abstract
A device for positioning a temperature sensor includes a support structure and a lower platen supported by the support structure. The lower platen includes an upper surface, and at least a portion of the upper surface is located in a horizontal plane. The device further includes a sensor guide structure that includes an aperture having a centerline axis. The aperture is oriented horizontally and is configured to receive a temperature sensor. The sensor guide structure is vertically movable relative to the upper surface of the lower platen in proportion to a thickness of a food product supported on the upper surface of the lower platen, as measured in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
