Can this thermometer be used for inserting into bread loaves to check on doneness? I would need to insert into center of each loaf.

What an interesting idea! I have not done that, but I have used it to check temperature of the water in proofing yeast. I've also do not start the temp display until the thermometer is inserted in the meat. (Faster that way). I think I'll bake some bread this weekend to see how it performs. My tried-and-true method on yeast breads is the light-touch-on-top for rolls and tapping on crusty French bread while listening for a hollow sound.

If you are interested only in the temperature of the surface, yes, but wont be helpful to find if the center of the meat reach certain temperature

I would use this thermometer for meat and hot dishes whether grilling or oven...I use a glass candy thermometer for cooking candies, frosting, etc. It registers the degrees more accurately when cooking to soft or hard ball/crack stages.

It would be difficult. You would probably get burns as the thermometer is not instant and has no clip, etc., to attached to side of any vessel. I have to pull items out of oven to check temp due to heat.

yes , you can use it to check the temperature.but the one I bought just so happens it doesn't work at all.so the answer is No because this product is terrible.

Yes, if your oven evenly distributes heat AND you properly center the loaf horizontally in the oven.Most modern ovens are pretty good at even heating, even smaller electric ovens.You may have to cover the top of the loaf with aluminum foil about half way through the baking to keep the top from getting over done or burned

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

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.

Absolutely. I bake bread with this often. I recommend that you place your bread pan on a trivet to help get heat/light onto the bottom of the pan. Just like in your oven at home, you want the bread off the oven floor (on a rack) so that the heat will be even

It's standard temperature gauge.....Should work on all common needs. Never test my bread.... all temp and timing with my bread. You can use for yeast temp test... etc...

As others have said, you can probably use the metal-corded probe to measure oven temp if it's not touching metal. It doesn't do it concurrently as my old Polder did, however.

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.

If only are only intending to measure the superficial temperature, (not the inner temperature of the product) then the answer is "YES". I often use this device to check the temperature of the marmalade process to see if the packaging temperature is adequate.

You're looking for a proofer. This fridge will not work for that; the temperature is not adjustable in that sense.Try this: Folding Bread Proofer and Yogurt Maker

We use an instant thermometer with no problem. It is not an oven as it has no insulation. I would not think an oven thermometer would be desirable because what you really need to know is the temperature of the food you are cooking rather than the temperature of the surrounding space. In an oven food starts to cook at about 180F and the length of time it takes to cook is very dependent on the amount of liquid the food contains.

Absolutely Sarah! I have used it many times for cheesy breads and it works perfectly!! Many mats do not go to the temperatures this mat can go to so have fun :)

The sensors are on the tip but to get an accurate temp of the meat you are cooking, I would think that you would need to insert it to the middle.
