Hi - where's the best place to put the thermometer in the oven?

think where you can read it and move it if needed. Where will not be in the way of pans going in and out. As centered as possible.

I place mine in the middle of the oven while it heats up then remove it carefully.

Hi! Hang the oven thermometer somewhere in the center part of the rack. I copied the previous statement from this e-how link: http://www.ehow.com/how_8767465_check-oven-temperature-accuracy.html E-how.com has more articles about oven thermometers.

We actually use the thermometer inside a smoker not an oven but we put it on the rack as close to the meat as possible.

Having tried one in all sections of the oven, I find it works best hung on the front of the upper rack. Beware of opening the oven door during cooking, it lowers the cooking temperature.

It depends how big your oven is, but normally if you hang it from the upper rack (given you have room) so it will be more or less in the middle of it. Hope this helps you, good day!

Hang it from a rack where you can see it without opening the door. Middle shelf is best

To get the best reading I find it needs to be in the center of the meat or whatever you're cooking. For instance if I'm cooking a roast I put it in about half way and wait for the temperature to get to it's reading. Hope this helps.

You could probably use a regular oven thermometer. My Sun Oven came with one though.

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.

There is a thermometer attached to the interior of the oven - very visible. The oven usually reaches 325 to 350 degrees on a clear day.

For most items that I cook you can put the baking dish directly on the oven rack. If I am cooking an item I know will spill over then I use a cookie sheet under the baking dish.

You can close the oven door on the cable with no problem. You can't leave the monitor in the oven. BTW, the monitor has a magnet on the back so I put it on my refrigerator while I have the probe in the oven. You could also stick on the side of the oven.

I usually put a cookie sheet on the bottom shelf in the oven when I make homemade bread. It seems to make it cook more even

Directly on the oven rack. No need to use a cookie sheet. My wife has baked several cakes, casseroles, etc. w/o any problems. She found the handles to be a great addition. Buy one & enjoy!

Honestly, not sure of the "best" place. I keep it in a dry cool part of my pantry. Hope this helps!

Yes, kind of - You would need to open the oven and point it at something inside. It will tell you the surface temperature quickly with pretty good accuracy. It you want to measure the oven air temperature, it's better to use a meat thermometer with the remote probe located inside the oven where the food would be placed.

no need to put it in the oven just add a little extra smoking dust and let it cook a little longer on the stove .Cooking in the smoker is about the same as using an oven,except better.

I don't put mine in the oven and leave it, don't think that's recommended. I believe that you're supposed to insert it and do a spot check of the meat temp, rather than leave it in place while it's cooking. That's what works for me.

You can leave it in the oven while the food cooks. If you "poke and read," it takes a minute or two. It's definitely not an instant-read thermometer.

right on the grill surface, where you would want to measure the temperature of where you put your food.

It says in the description that you can use it in the oven :) It's near the bottom of the list of features.

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.
