Can I use this thermometer in a kitchen oven?

Yes, put one probe for measuring the oven temperature near mid-height in oven and the other into the food. Mine showed my oven was was actually 35°F hotter than what was set on the dial and explained why cookies got burned so easily. Adjusted dial, no more burned cookies.

I have used my 732 in oven. found out oven was running higher temperature. Sure helped with baking.

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, 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.

I don't think so. Are you sure that your oven heats up to the temperature that you want? Many ovens are over/under by 25 or more degrees, compared to the settings chosen. Check online for ways to determine the accuracy of your oven.

I use it for pretty much everything in the kitchen. I even used it today to verify that the air temperature in my refrigerator was too low. It's an extremely handy thermometer.

No, you can open the oven door and take an instant reading. But, keep in mind that the oven temperature will drop any time you have the dooropen and it may take a short period of time to reach back to the reading you just observed. Dick Y

As far as I know, yes. I plan on using mine in my oven. It has a temp rating to above 500deg and I doubt anyone will be cooking any roasts at that high a temp.

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.

Keep in mind that this is designed as meat thermometer and is intended to measure the temperature of the meat(while cooking) it only goes to 200 degrees. I don't think you want to leave it the oven at any temperature higher than 200 degree. That being said this works fine for checking the temperature of meat, however I would purchase a different model for use as a over thermometer, fortunately Amazon has many to choose from. I hope that helps you.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

The answer is NO. This is to be used to observe or read temperature in short term where the dial (working parts) are NOT exposed to DIRECT HEAT as in the internal temp of chicken, candy or other like cases as in checking the internal temp of grilled beef, pork etc.

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.

set up the thermometer towards the front of your oven door. Take it out quickly with a hot pad....and read. That should give a ballpark reading.

I have not used it in the oven but it does say that it is "Oven-safe to 450 degrees F". I would think it should work for most things.

I don't see why not. I haven't actually used the one I bought yet, but they put them in the oven on America's Test Kitchen regularly.

Yes it can be used in the oven. This was a gift for someone but they have used it in the oven.

Unfortunately no. It has a coating on it that the oven temperature could possibly damage. I thought when I purchased it i could but when it arrived I knew it wouldn't hold up in the oven.
