What is the temperature range this thermometer can measure? It shows that "The ChefAlarm comes with one Pro-Series High Temp Cooking Probe that measures to 572 degrees F", what is Lowest Temperature it will measure? ?? degrees F to 572 degrees F

The range is between -58 to 572 degrees F (-50 to 300 degrees C) accordingly to specs but the operating range is 32 to 122 degrees F (0 to 50 degrees C).

Hello cooking friend. The temperature probe is a sealed thermocouple. It should work fine in frying or any application within it's temperature range. Ours works great !!!!

The dial indicates gradations between 200 to 400 degrees, plus a "warm" range.I hardly ever use higher than 350 because I cook with olive oil. I love my CucinaPro 12 inch skillet.

The probe is 2 3/4 inches long. I would think you don't have to go to the very center to get an appropriate reading. Remember also, the meat temp will rise at least 5 degrees after taking it out of the oven.

Nope. It's surface-temp only. Really good for checking the frying pan or cooking oil temp, but no probe, strictly non-contact surface readings.

I've confirmed you can purchase replacement probes from Thermoworks that work with this unit. Any probe designed for their ChefAlarm will work interchangeably with this device. I have both and confirmed it myself. I've switched the probe for ChefAlarm and OXO chef and they both respond the same with temperature. http://www.thermoworks.com/products/alarm/chefalarm.html

No, I believe the thermometer can only reach 300 degrees. It has a hard plastic face and might melt, as well. I do put it in the warmer (165 degrees) to check temps and it does great.

"How do I set" has several meanings, will try to cover all of them. 1. there are no "user settings" on the temperature probe, if you want to check for approximate accuracy stick the probe in boiling water, at near sea level it should read 212, the reading will be lower as elevation above sea level increases. Or put the probe in ice water, should be near 32. 2. To set temperature alarm, use the up and down keys and slide alarm switch from off to alarm. 3.To set the down timer use the hour and minute buttons to set time and press the start/stop button to turn on/off. 4. Set the control/read out unit outside the oven and probe inside the oven. My pyres unit "died" and new ones do not have metal shield protected probe. Now use a similar unit made by Thermoworks, highly recommended. Great product and company.

When the Pyrex digital oven thermometer died, it was replaced with products from Thermoworks. Thermoworks offers several models, the "regular" model goes from 32 to 392 F, the "high temp"model Chef Alarm reads to 592, the cable can handle 700 deg F for short periods. The Chef Alarm can be used in grilling. Thermoworks is the standard go to thermometers for home cooking. Their Tech support and warranty services are great. Good value products.

Two settings on this model. Low and high. I returned mine, because I need more flexibility in the temperatures for cooking. A different model has the range of temperatures that I needed.

According to the instructions sent with mine, the probe tip is rated to 392 degrees. The cables can withstand 500 for a short period of time. Personally, I would use it as an instant read thermometer at really high temps. It is not really "instant" like the $96 thermonmeter, but will tell you the internal temp within 5 seconds. You just poke it into whatever you are cooking until you get the desired temp. I usually test several spots for something like a turkey or a roast with a bone. Try it, you won't be sorry. (But read the instructions)

Not sure my answer went through from cel phone.I dont have a working food thermometer, so I can't tell you what temperature it reaches. However, it has always seemed plenty hot, any hotter and it would kill the taste. So I've never thought to check the temp. I've found it to be a perfectly good coffee maker, pretty efficiently serving up a strong cup of hot coffee which I take black. It 's not as good as some of the jura capresso barrista complexes that do everything, but its not $1000 either.

I've never actually taken temperature readings, but I feel it does a good job with the burgers and steaks I grill on it. I also use it for salmon patties and it does a super job on those.

I believe it to be 400-425. The last marked temp on my gauge is 350, and the next one says "sear" without a number, but you can't "sear" at 350 very well. Use it cautiously until you get used to what it will do and how quickly. It will "burn" very quickly if you don't watch closely. You can get very nice grill marks. The mid area of the cooking surfaces on my unit provide the most uniform and accurate temperatures.

We never cooked anything that needed that high temp. It did consistently reach 375 degrees. The cooker quit working after a few months so we had to get another fryer from a different company. Needless to say, we were not real pleased with the fryer.

The probes furnished with the thermometer would not stand up to 392F. I would go with the temperatures listed by Taylor. The instructions on setting the high and low settings and alarm times leave something to be desired. Once you figure out how to set it, the thermometer works very well. I use them on HVAC equipment and recirculating hot water heating systems to measure supply and return temperatures. By checking the temperatures several times a day, I make sure the equipment is operating correctly.

I did have to purchase two additional probes in order to bring it to 1,700 degrees on my raku kiln. They are cheap though...around $5.00
