Where is the monitor unit placed if you have the thermometer in the meat, oven door closed?

Sets on the counter or if grilling will set on the shelf next to the grill. It only takes about 3 sec. to give you a ready so a lot of the times if I don't want to leave it in I will just take readings from time to time and not leave it in the meat.

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.

If the oven door has a magnetic surface you can attach the ChefAlarm to that, or the 47 inch cable should be long enough to set the unit on the counter next to the oven.

the temperature probe is on the back of the unit. you can leave it down or open it in the upward position, it works well in in both positions. The display is digital and is very easy to program or you can change the settings manually.

Instructions did not provide details about oven use so I called Oregon Scientific and learned this unit is NOT intended for the oven in the manner discussed! Specifically the wire between the probe and the transmitting unit isn't supposed to be inside with the door closed and the heat on. Not sure how they can call it a bbq/oven thermometer but I'm sending mine back before using it because I already have an instant-read thermometer.

This is a surface temperture thermometer it only measures the out side of the meat or bread. It is used for measuring room temperatures.

This is not the type of thermometer that you leave in the oven with what ever your baking. With this type you have to open the oven once in a while and stick the probe in meatiest part to get the correct temp. After you get a reading you pull it out, turn it off and clean the metal probe, put it back in its sleeve and wait to use it again.

yes, you leave the thermometer in while it cooks; the alarm rings when it reaches the right temp.

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.

Since you need to be able to see it without opening the door, I find the only place I can put it is hanging from the front of one of the racks. I've found this to be a very accurate product and essential for cooking as my oven thermostat is generally off by 25 degrees.

Yes! You run the wire outside of the oven and set the device down somewhere (I leave it stuck to my fridge as it has a magnet). The oven door closes fine over the wire; no worries there.

Unfortunately, a window would interfere with the heating elements and cause uneven browning of the pizza . . .thus defeating the purpose. The temperature stays accurate and the timer exceptional. You shouldn't need to check it before it's ready

Lynn, you do not check the food with this thermometer, I use mine in the grease to make sure of the correct temperature. You need a meat thermometer.

It can't be left inside the oven while the meat is cooking . The housing and view plate are not designed for extended exposure to high temps.

This therometer should not be left in the oven! It's designed as instant read, not continuous. It will melt.

Press "set alarm" button just below the left lower side of display; when it displays a number when the probe is not connected, then push the up or down arrows on the right until the desired temperature setting is reached. Connect the probe to the unit, push the "set alarm" button again and then the display will show the temperature of the meat when the metal probe is inserted into the meat.

It is designed to do EXACTLY that. The wire is thin and flexible enough not to interfere with the oven seal. Probe in the bird (thickest part of thigh), display can be magnetically stuck outside the oven somewhere or just on the counter.

The hole on the top of the cover is for an electronic meat thermometer for your roasts and chicken, etc.

The purpose is to put one probe into a thick piece of something like meat. Also there is a probe for hood or oven temperature. Not sure what your purpose is.
