Would I be able to get an accurate internal oven temperature reading (with the door open, of course)? We're having temperature stability problems.

heat your oven to temp. and once it has reached the temp. quickly open the door and shoot the side of the oven wall and it will give you a reading. close the door give it a few minutes to heat back up and then shoot the outside window and compare the two readings...you may need to replace your heating element in the stove and it is not that hard to do. The unite that I bought has been very accurate.

Yes, absolutely! It depends on where you're pointing the laser though. Obviously if you point it at the coils it'll read much hotter than if you point it elsewhere.

these devices detect ambient air and non reflective surface temperatures only. it should tell you the temperature of the interior oven surfaces. hope this helps.

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

I've had my oven quite awhile and have never found the door to be hard to open. When I initially unpacked the oven, there were pieces of cardboard and tape in many areas that had to be removed. I'm sure you've already checked for that, but you may want to give it another check. If you can find nothing keeping the door from opening flat, there's most likely a manufacturing problem and the oven should be returned. It's too nice a little oven to have and not be able to use.

It really varies with your oven and cooking technique. I use a commercial convection oven with the ability to inject steam this is a game changer over standard home ovens. using a convection oven I usually drop the temperature by 50 degrees and cook for the same time and experiment with the steam (which I usually use by the way). That being said the timing is somewhere about half of the usual time, I simply cook things until they are done keeping good notes in my cooking notebook/computer. Good Luck

You need open the door, because take the temperature of the object close to the IR, and the door of the oven have insulation to prevent accidents and keep the heat inside.

Sorry, I don't. I just installed this but it is supposed to convert bake times and temperatures to suit a convection oven. Still have to see.

It seems pretty accurate. However, the latch is not tight on ours..the metal hook seems to large, so if that is an issue with yours that might be the culprit for fluctuating temp.

The front doors to both ovens get pretty hot. I would not advise touching them when cooking.

I'll have to double check. I did keep the door open to photograph the dough though it did go on full blast but was gradually warming. So then quit the picture taken bcuz I thought it might flop. I'll let you next time I use it.

I believe it's 400°. To be honest, however, I have a very tiny oven and have never put a lid inside while baking. I used tinfoil. On the stovetop it seems just fine, though I do use their hot pads and handle mits.

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 !

Yes, put one probe for measuring the oven temperature near mid-height in oven and the other into the food. Mine showed my oven was was actually 35°F hotter than what was set on the dial and explained why cookies got burned so easily. Adjusted dial, no more burned cookies.

Given it is glass and metal it seems just fine. Is it accurate when left in the oven? I'm not sure or not as sure as I was with my 50 yr old mercury thermometer. Consequently, I've been cooking and inserting the thermometer and pulling it out during the process. Not optimal, but the readings seem fine if you wait 30 seconds or so.

Needle moves fairly quickly. What's your hurry? Put thermometer in when you begin pre-heating the oven. I found it to be very accurate. I am very happy with mine.

I have a window but still couldn't read the thermometer. I put it in the middle of the oven on a rack and then preheated the oven. Then I opened the oven and pulled the shelf out very quickly. Found out my oven is 25 degrees off and I didn't feel that opening the door made that much difference. My food didn't cook in the time allocated before thermometer so reading was in line with my findings.

Hi Leticia,We've been trying to get a contact e-mail and preferably a phone number since last week. We can definitely help you get squared away, but I want to spend a few minutes troubleshooting what you're doing now so we can correct it. The oven will easily get up into hotter temperatures than you are achieving now, but that will depend upon fuel (chunkwood) selection and how you are monitoring the stone temperature. Can you contact our customer service line at 206-438-3587 so we can help you? Thanks!!

Nope. It's not intended for that use. Just check the internal temperature about half-hour before end of recommended cook time then you'll know how to gauge it.

Mine seems to be accurate. I've checked it against our indoor thermometer in a different room.
