How do you know when the oven has reached the set temperature?

I don't think there is really a good way to tell. I just listen for the internal relay to click to let me know its ready.

Without a thermometer you can not tell exactly, but it is very quickly. I do not wait. I just put whatever in the oven and turn it on. I have never had a problem with anything being under cooked because of the minute or two it takes to come up to full temperature set.

I put an oven thermometer inside. It takes 3-5 minutes to reach temperature.

The oven doesn't need preheating so when I bake in it, I just set the time and temp, put the food in, press start, and that's it.

I couldn't figure that out and was displeased with other features as well. I returned it and got a Breville - the smaller one (small kitchen!) and I've been very pleased with it.

You can purchase a small oven thermometer and place it in your oven and set to the desired temperature to check. The easy answer is, the oven has an internal thermostat that turns the heating elements on or off to maintain the temperature you have chosen.

Absolutely. Just run the cord into the oven and clip the probe to your oven grate. Place the transmitter on the counter and close the oven door. Then get ready to see how far off calibration you oven actually reads. We suspected our oven was about 50 degrees off and verified that with our Maverick. Now we have the confidence to set the oven to 400 when a recipe calls for 350.

When you use the cooking feature buttons the cooking time is set by default. You can start with the cooking feature and set the timer at the same time, when timer reach zero the oven beeps but don't stop if the time set by the selected cooking feature is higher.

Absolutely; can't imagine a kitchen without one. You know exactly how hot that pan or skillet is before you dump something in there. And you can tell how hot your oven is too... not the air temperature, but the temperature of the oven wall you point it at... that is more constant, and telling. It won't help you figure out if something is fully cooked because it just measures surface temperatures, but if you are heating anything up that you can stir (like heating soup in a microwave), you can stir it and see how hot it is. I know my microwave food is ready to eat when I stir it up and see the temperature at about 150. Absolutely; can't imagine a kitchen without one.

YES, You can measure the temp of anything you put in your oven or bbq. it will give you two vebal and audible warnings, one when it is almost done (when it reaches 5 degrees to desired internal temp), and second (when it has reached desired internal temp).

Yes, you crack open the door to your oven, point the gun in, aiming away from the heating elements and pull the trigger. In one second it will tell you what the temperature is in your oven. It's great for checking your oven thermostat for accuracy.

When I preheat to bake, I usually set the temperature and wait a minute or 2 and then put it in. It usually works for me. Each toaster/oven is different. You will just have to try to see which will be best for your oven.

Unable to determine, as the temp is controlled by the temp of the food, try calling the company

This thermometer goes from 100 to 600 degrees. The numbers are sort of small, so it's hard to read when it's in the oven. I purchased the ADMETIOR thermometer, which has larger numbers & I like it much better. Both thermometers show the same temperature in the oven.

This has been a great oven. It does reach the maximum temp as advertised. I like the oven.

I used convection oven and the cookie or cake recipe temp. The baked items will cook slightly faster, so keep your eye on them. I used the "on" setting and set a separate timer.

Yes, there is a thermometer enclosed and it works very well. It tells you the temperature of the oven and you can regulate it by moving the oven to direct sun rays.

The only preset temp is 300 degrees which will appear when you push the on-off button. Then you can select your cooking temp by pressing the plus or minus button repeatedly. Temp will increase in 25 degree increments until reaching max of 425 degrees.

heat your oven to temp. and once it has reached the temp. quickly open the door and shoot the side of the oven wall and it will give you a reading. close the door give it a few minutes to heat back up and then shoot the outside window and compare the two readings...you may need to replace your heating element in the stove and it is not that hard to do. The unite that I bought has been very accurate.

Yes I used an oven temperature gage to set my temperature at 325 degrees and then I marked a spot on the oven for the 325 degree (approximately half way between 300 and 350 degree) the oven will then heat to 350 degrees and shuts off then it will drop below 325 degrees and then it will turn back on. Most all of my recipes call for 350 degrees and this works great just watch your time may be done sooner than the set time on recipe.

Yes it tells u both oven and meat temp and as far as I can tell it ha been very accurate. We have used about a dozen times or so and has been very helpful and accurate

The hot pad itself has heating instructions. Since every oven is different, it is best to start with a shorter time.
