Is this thermometer oven safe, or do you need to insert it and then remove it while your roast is in the oven?

You cannot leave it in the oven. You'll have to pull the roast forward, insert the thermometer, turn it on after insertion then remove and push the roast back into the oven.

I used mine in the oven, and the plastic started melting. and smelling I don't recommend it for oven. Inspite of the melt, it still works in the BBQ. It would probably be ok if you didn't leave it there, just insert and remove. But be careful.

If I had to guess I would say no. There are others that specifically say it can be lieft in the oven. Other than that though it's a very good therometer and seems very accurate.

No you can't leave it in the meat, it would most likely ruin it. If you want one to leave in the meat try one do the Maverick brand thermometers. They make one that uses two probes--one for the meat and one for the grill, 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

You can use it for regular kitchen use if you are inserting the probe, taking the temperature and removing it. But you shouldn't leave it in a hot place like an oven while the food is baking. The body is made of plastic and I think it would melt. I use it to take the temperature of foods I'm cooking on the stove top and oven all the time. It is quick reacting and will usually show the temperature within 10-20 seconds.

The thermometer is to be inserted into the meat you are cooking. It doesn't matter if you are cooking the meat on a grill or in an oven. It shows the temperature of the meat, not the grill or oven. Hope this helps.

this thermometer is not useful for me roasting. It only measures the surface temperature. To check arose you need a "meat thermometer". You can get an inexpensive one in any supermarket that does the job very well.

I don't know what they make it out off. I don't see why you couldn't use it in an enclosed roaster so long as you follow the instructions.

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.

It has a built-in oven thermometer hanging at the top. It's face is pointed upwards, so you can read it without opening the oven. I've had my oven for a couple years and have done LOTS of cooking with it. It seems that the built-in thermometer is no longer accurate: it often reads high. I don't tend to worry about it...the food cooks just the same. If you are not using the entire shelf for your pot, you could add a regular oven thermometer or use a meat thermometer inside your pot if you're not satisfied with the built-in one.

I don't know. Do the directions say it is ok to leave it in the meat in the oven?

Remove the spacer from the pan. After you season your roast, using high heat add a small amount of oil, 1 to 2 tbls to the pot. When hot, brown meat on both sides. Once browned, remove the roast and replace the spacer. Your recipe will most likely tell you to add a small amount of water. When cooking, yes,. you want to cover.

My experience has been that it was my oven that was wrong, not the thermometer! My food came out much better and the way it was supposed to when I followed this thermometer rather than the temperature reading on my oven's display!!! Hope that answer helps... good luck!

Hello Mike, the thermometer should not be off when inserted into the meat. If it is off, just turn it on again and let it read the temperature for 10-15 seconds and press the hold button. That will give you the most precise reading. If you are sill having issue, please contact us at BlizeTec dot com. We are always here to help! Many blessings, BlizeTec

The probe only measures the air temperature, not the internal temperature of the thing you are cooking. So it has to not touch the cooking surface, nor the food being cooked. We find it quite fragile, and removing it from the holder designed for an over rack is always a risk. That said, we have used it with a turkey roaster oven, and it did work. But keeping it from touching the turkey or side of the roaster, which would throw off the reading, is very difficult. So I doubt it would work on a stovetop pan. We just got a "Maverick Laser Surface Thermometer" from Amazon which might work better for you. But we haven't really had a chance to try it out yet.

The black handle is attached with 2 rivets, and does not appear to designed to be removed. I can't remember what the instructions said about putting it in the oven if that's why you're asking. Many of these phenolic handles are oven-safe up to a point. But woks aren't normally put to that kind of use. The handle does not heat up at all even if the wok is heated empty over high heat for several minutes.

Hey Joan, anything that can be cooked in an oven can go into this if it fits. Because this cooks differently than conventional methods I would still want to keep an eye on it as it cooks. What I mean is, whatever you try you may have to tweak the cook time or temp each time until you get the hang of it. I cooked a frozen 3 1/2 lb chuck roast in just over an hour and it looked great, however when I cut it in half to check the doneness it was still medium rare. I cut it in thirds and another 10 minutes and it was perfect. Next time I'll know. Also, I cook everything with the extender ring installed. Hope that helps.

Instant reads only. You don't want to leave it in the oven or bbq while cooking. It is a great thermometer.
