Since you need to be able to see it without opening the door, I find the only place I can put it is hanging from the front of one of the racks. I've found this to be a very accurate product and essential for cooking as my oven thermostat is generally off by 25 degrees.

I have never used it to check oven temperature. I bought it to check the air temperature from the ac vent. It works fine. I would not say it's very accurate. I would accept + - 1 or 2 degree.

'Not sure what your planning to do with it, but it's a normal oven heat settings safe. It seems your question should be directed to the manufacturer. It's intended for baking, ergo, COOKIES, etc.

The thermometer will give an instant read and will continue to read if the temperature is changing.There is a hold button so you can always see what the last reading was. It does have an auto off after 10 min.As answered in all the others "IT CANNOT BE LEFT IN THE OVEN" However if you are warming a liquid you can leave the probe in as long as you like

It is very accurate and I place it on the oven since the begining, so when the oven is hot the thermometer has gone at the same pace. I will buy it again

Adequate, however a cheap oven thermometer is preferable. Drop in to boiling water if oven thermometer registers 212 it is accurate for your purposes

Hi Joe. Well I just checked and I through my instruction away. I'm pretty sure I read up to 500 degrees. I have baked with mine at 375 degrees with no problem. Hope this helps, I really like mine.

I would guess not because new ovens like mine has digital electronic processing. This sensor output is calibrated to send a temperature signal that the electronics understand. Your old oven probably does not have the same electronic processing and therefore would not read the temperature properly. Again this is my opinion, I could be wrong.

I placed it directly under heating element.It's about 3/4 inch clearance and no melting or burning to date.I bake items at 450 degrees at least twice a week.Works perfectly.

I placed it under the heating element of my electric oven. In my oven, the heating element sits on little "feet" on the bottom of the oven, and it lifts up on a hinge attached to the back of the oven. So, I trimmed the liner to fit and placed it under the element.

As most have said, you can get the temperature of the internal oven surface. I don't think you are asking this, but just in case you were wondering, you can't check the internal temperature of meat with this since it will only give you surface readings.

Keep in mind that this is designed as meat thermometer and is intended to measure the temperature of the meat(while cooking) it only goes to 200 degrees. I don't think you want to leave it the oven at any temperature higher than 200 degree. That being said this works fine for checking the temperature of meat, however I would purchase a different model for use as a over thermometer, fortunately Amazon has many to choose from. I hope that helps you.

I put mine in the freezer overnight and it gave a good reading. Then I left it out on the cupboard to check it for accuracy and it came up to the furnace's room temperature to the exact degree. So then I put it in the 'frig. That seemed to take a little longer - a day or so. I'm very happy!

No, you can open the oven door and take an instant reading. But, keep in mind that the oven temperature will drop any time you have the door open and it may take a short period of time to reach back to the reading you just observed. Dick Y

This thermometer is to measure oven temperature and to help calibrate the oven. Especially handy for bakers where accurate temperature is critical.

I would say you could get a pretty good reading as long as you take the temp reading from one of the parts of the oven that doe not have a real shine to it. Even if you purchased this and it didn't work on this particular situation you will find a bunch of other times you will use it later. That is after you get done taking the temp of everything in your site when you first get it , Ha

It's called a temperature probe and no you cant stick it in the oven as my wife did. Yes it has a battery and plastic casing which makes it great for intermittent temp checks. Check how hot the faucet water, how cold the fridge is and mostly the temps of chicken, meat and fish !
