Could you use this for cooking?

Yes, although it is designed to take a reading and hold that temp. Not like a candy thermo where you are reading it continually. This unit will read a wall, door, window glass, tire, wheel bearing, etc. It is really designed to read hard to reach or touch, etc. situations. This does not prevent it from doing a great job in the kitchen or anywhere else. Accuracy is +/- 2% in most applications.

Absolutely! In fact, that's why I bought mine. I built an outdoor wood fired pizza oven, and use the gun to make sure the bricks are up to temp (700 degrees or so). I also use it to check the accuracy of oven settings. Cooking is this tool's primary app.

I suppose technically it could but would not use it for that myself. I use it to wash delicates, rinse large quantities of fresh veggies etc...Not sure I would consider cooking in it.

I personally would not use it for that. For cooking I use only the coconut oil that comes in a glass jar.

I would use it for cheese or chocolate and think it would be fine. I probably would make it and then put it in the pots to keep warm and then serve and enjoy.

I guess you could but I probably wouldn't use it for that due to the chemical smell and it's not really made for that. Also not sure if it could stand up to the heat.

You can use it to cook anything. Lobsters, clams, shrimp, chowders, etc. Greens, soups, beans etc.

I wouldn't think so. It is a utensil for cooking. I believe it would be too small. Hope this helps!

sure, have used it to boil pasta and veggies. I would not fry with it though, although I am sure you could.

Hi Carrie, I suspect it would cook it OK..........with experimentation. I have no personal knowledge though.

I think you can, but would have to fit in and cook slowly with supervision. It's not a slow cooker

Yes you can, I've used mine for cooking bulk sausage into pattys and I've also cooked eggs in it.

I've never used it for that purpose, but I think it would do fine. It's a great, versatile pan!

For things like deglazing the roasting pan to make gravy for a short period of time, yes. I wouldn't use it to cook things in, however. Note that I use a gas stove - harder to do this with electric.

You can cook any smaller amount up to its capacity. This is per my wife who uses it often.

They can definitely be used for cooking. They can also be used as a warmer.

I would think you could use it for that. The pan is sturdy and not lightweight and deep enough to fry without having the oil too close to the surface. Obviously not for a large batch. I will say I haven't tried it. Otherwise those who have used it for this purpose can probably answer more accurately.

Yes you can. It is very versatile and easy to do everything in one pan. I have used it to saute vegetables for soup and brown pot roast before cooking it.
