Depending on the age of your stove the problem you are facing seem, most likely, to be the sensor control. Have a qualified technician check it out before investing tons of money trying to solve the problem yourself.

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.

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.

Haven't tried that. We do use sensor for baked potatoes & sweet potatoes,and it does a great job.

There are two alarms actually. One is the temperature alarm which will sound when the temp reaches the maximum temperature you set. The other is just a straight user settable countdown timer. So, with both alarms, you can know when the oven is ready, and when the food has been in long enough. Works great.

Agree with earlier answers. I have two units that predate the one with a thermostat, and they work great. The problem with the thermostat unit is that the sensor is right by the radiator. It gets warm and kicks off before the area around it is warm. The solution is to set the thermostat 10 degrees warmer than you think it should be. You can adjust from there for personal preference.

Hi! The oven is capable of reaching 900F which is higher than what you need even for pizza. Best regards, Eugene.

Sorry, I don't. I just installed this but it is supposed to convert bake times and temperatures to suit a convection oven. Still have to see.

Yes it can. But mine did not work. At that price, I chose not to bother with returning it. No matter how hot the oven, it ever registered over 200°.

Yes the temperature sensor is close to the tip of the probe, but you want to make sure that you are inserting the probe into the center of the meat. It is important to make sure that you are reading the center of the meat where it sometimes isn't cooked all the way through. Hope this helps! :)

I can set mine to any temp. I want for bake. Broil will only set for 350 or 450. I haven't tried the warming. Pizza works at my wanted setting too.

If you're using the temperature gauge sent with the product, it probably isn't working correctly. They have a history of being faulty. I use a meat thermometer. To check if it's just the temperature gauge, pop it out of the unit and stick it in your oven. Set your oven to 200 degrees and wait about ten minutes. If the gauge reads 200 degrees, it's working and there may be something wrong with your heating element. HOWEVER, if it doesn't read correctly, you can reset it yourself (the little spring sometimes gets jarred during the shipping process). To reset it, you need to be VERY careful. While it is still hot, you need to move the dial to 200 degrees. Then put it back in your smoker. If you're using the temperature gauge sent with the product, it probably isn't working correctly.

Yes, you can adjust the temp as much as you want. Just turn the temp knob to the new temp as you would in an oven in a stove. I have some recipes where you preheat the oven to a higher temp and then turn it to the cooking temp when the food is put in. It performs very well. Good luck with your baking!

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.

Most ovens only go to 500-550 degrees. That is a broiling temperature. Transfer your food to a broiler pan for that temp.

Hi Joe. Well I just checked and I through my instruction away. I'm pretty sure I read up to 500 degrees. I have baked with mine at 375 degrees with no problem. Hope this helps, I really like mine.

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.
