I am looking for a thermometer for a classroom project that can measure air temperature inside a bottle. Can I use this to measure air temp?

My wife ordered it and she said yes you could use it for that. She also said it always says 20 degrees Celsius if it's in her classroom.

If you go to the ThermoWorks website you can buy a probe specially-made for doing air temps. It includes a little bracket to help you attach it to a grill. It's less than $20. I'm thinking of getting one to test the temp of my oven. Hope that helps, Joe

Yes, it can. I have been using mine for all spring and summer and it has done fine. Now that it is hot out, I have noticed that it tends to stretch when the thermometer heats up, and this can't be good, so be sure to not stretch it out as you use it. Otherwise, it has worked just fine!

No. It only measures surface temps. On a side note, my unit broke within an hour of delivery. I would not recommend this product.

I think, if I understand your question , a candy thermometer would be best for liquids. My one complaint about the Taylor Classic Thermometer is that all the temperature markings wash off the thermometer!

I find it's more convenient to use a thermometer that clips onto your measuring cup, such as a candy thermometer, but I suppose you could use it just holding it in the liquid.

Yes, but I do not recommend this thermometer. It was never accurate for me and is now a toy my child plays with. Pay a bit more for a higher quality one. This one is a waste of money.

I don't see why not. I use it in my guitar case. It is one of the smaller Thermometers, but one of the very best in quality built. I have had mine for a year or so now. Never had any problems with it. It's very convenient to use because of it's size. Stan

Yes this should work fine since you have sufficient time window to obtain reading. I have used it to get reading of water temperature coming out of faucet and soups etc. Also used it for correct water temperature for yeast.

I've used it to measure the temp of milk when heated up to just below boiling to make yogurt and it was fine.

As long as it is in water yes. It is not prepared to measure air temperature.

No it is not. It's just a thermometer, plain and simple. I have two, one for water temp and one for air temp.

Yes, this would be able to check the temp of a BBQ or smoker. I have had one for a few months now and it has worked great so far. No problems or issues.

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

Yes it measures temp. But it did not last as long as the blue pen. You must keep the sensors clean

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.

There is a 2" wire on the top left side that measures the ambient temperature and I would suggest you bend it upward for the most accurate reading. However, the wire will lean (or be pressed against any wall board or other covering and could possibly account for temperature errors. I found the upward position to be more precise when calibrated with another thermometer in my wine room. Placement of this device will also affect cooling and heating cycles within a room. I want my wine barrels between 60-65 degrees so the the thermo is placed on the side of the room with 3 wine barrels. My bottled wine is less of a concern in this matter and therefore sits about 10 feet away from the thermo.
