Sensor stick: Where is the measuring point?

Where exactly is the sensor inside the stick located? Is very near the pointy tip? Should be, or?

I tried it for bread and don’t want to stick it too deep. The tip should be in the center I guess.

Every sensor I have seen has the sensing portion in the tip.

I would aim for the center of what you are cooking.

Second this. Sensor close to the tip which should be in the central part of your food!
