Can you leave the needle probe in a grilling steak?

Yes. Just make sure the probe cable doesn't touch any hotspots and isn't jammed in anything.

yes but put the wire thru the hole at the side of the BBQ.... don't clamp the wire down with the BBQ lid. There should be a natural hole created by the lid and base of the BBQ when the lid is closed. For Tri-Tip roasts I do leave the probe in. I don't normally leave the wire probe in for stakes.. When I am ready to test each steak, I just scoot the steak over to the far front of the grill and insert the probe into the SIDE in the middle to get the temp. I am usually cooking several filet or other steaks at the same time so I test each steak one at a time.

Yes! Insert the probe into the thickest area of the meat (or thickest breast or thigh in a group of chicken pieces). Whatever the lowest acceptable temp for the meat you're cooking is, it'll all come out wonderfully!

I would not cut the wire. Put the probe anywhere that it is exposed to air, preferably not in direct sunlight or near a hot surface.

If you go to the ThermoWorks website you can buy a probe specially-made for doing air temps. It includes a little bracket to help you attach it to a grill. It's less than $20. I'm thinking of getting one to test the temp of my oven. Hope that helps, Joe

I really don't think the probe can be removed form the bottle. That seems like a question for the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't help more.

You can but you won't get a complete seal from the slow cooker if you leave the probe in.

im sure you could if you really wanted to, I I have never thought about using this to do so. I would recommend using the seal pup or a deer dressing knife.

Yes, they are. They are similar to the grill probe that comes with the ET-732 only they have a point on them for piercing the meat. Can be used for grill or meat. I always apply some heat-proof sealant where the wire goes into the probe. Extends the life immensly to keep the moisture out.

I don't see how you could if the meat is constantly spinning. The wire that comes off the probe would eventually twist it off.

Wash probe by hand being careful NOT to immerse in water. So the answer is NO. :)

I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean. Before I grill something like steak or chops I will spray a little Pam on the surface of the pan. If food grade silicone is not your thing then an oil of your choice would be fine. When you are finished cooking pour a little water on the pan and let the pan cool. The food will loosen up and you can rinse it away with warm water without damaging the nonstick surface. Even modern cast iron needs a chance to build up a good seasoned coating. If you wash it with soap and hot water each time it doesn't have a chance to season. I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

I suppose you could since the temperature goes to 400F, but the end of the probe is rounded so it might be difficult to put into meat. I was looking for an easier-to-read candy thermometer, and this is perfect and is designed to fit on the side of the saucepan with the probe in the pan.

Yes the temperature sensor is close to the tip of the probe, but you want to make sure that you are inserting the probe into the center of the meat. It is important to make sure that you are reading the center of the meat where it sometimes isn't cooked all the way through. Hope this helps! :)

My silicone coated needle probe did not last on the BBQ, so I would not use any probe for anything on the BBQ apart from taking a quick temperature reading. Here's my review of the probe: http://www.amazon.com/ThermoWorks-Pro-Series-Needle-Probe-ChefAlarm/product-reviews/B00EZBB8AQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_top_recent?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints;=0&sortBy;=bySubmissionDateDescending

yes, you have to puncture the meat, but the precision of perfect temperature monitoring more than makes up for what little juice you'll lose from a small puncture into the meat. The temperature is precise to one degree!! I've used it on turkeys and both bone-in and boneless prime rib roasts and have never been happier with the precision and of the peace of mind not to have to stand over and hover the meat to jab a standard meat thermometer every couple minutes. You stab in the probe, set the goal temp, and walk away - the remote monitor beeps when it's at the goal temp. precise and perfect every time. Best thing I've bought in a long time!!! you'll ruin more meat with imprecise temps than you will losing juice!! I think you'll love it!!

You certainly can! Just keep the cable out of the water(especially where it connects to the probe). I also suggest using a dremel cutter to make a 3/8" long slit at the top of the cooking chamber rim to run the cable through to avoid crimping when you put the lid on. FWIW: The pic with the 4 therms on the product page is mine. : )
