I'm looking for a thermometer that I put in the roast and leave it there until a certain temperature is reached. Is this a leave in thermometer?

I wish I could be more help but I have not ever used the thermometer that way. I've only used it to test temperature when meat is taken out of the oven. For that purpose it works great.

Yes, this Taylor thermometer is the type you leave in the meat. They are hard to find but the Taylor brand is the best. I have my great-grandmother's original one and it still works!

This is not the kind of thermometer you can leave in the oven if that's what you're asking.

Yes, it can measure the temp continuously, however it cannot be left in the oven or a grill/smoker. To use in a oven, etc. you would need a temp probe ona heat resistant cable and the control unit away from the heat.

The thermometer should be kept on the grill in the same area as the food that is cooking. It will not take a quick read, as it is not an instant thermometer.

Not that i know of. You might take a cooking thermometer that u trust and stick it inside to see if its runnin hot or cool. The more i use it the better i can guage how hot its registering. Hope thT helps.

Hello! Yes, absolutely---it'll register up to 180 degrees F. Great thermometer for roasting meat and/or measuring temp of liquids. Have a good day!

this thermometer is not useful for me roasting. It only measures the surface temperature. To check arose you need a "meat thermometer". You can get an inexpensive one in any supermarket that does the job very well.

Put the probe in the meat in the oven or grill when you start cooking. Close the oven door or grill lid. The probe's wire can then be plugged in to the register outside the oven or grill. The oven door and grill lid can and will close around the wire and not impact oven or grill temperature.

Erica, the probe has a long, very thin, flexible cable that is connected to the timer/monitor device. You stick the probe into the item being cooked, put it in the oven, probe attached, with the cable coming out the oven door, connected to the timer which will sit on a shelf or counter near or oven, or can attach to the oven, etc. by magnet on the unit's back. So you don't have to keep opening the oven door, etc. to check temperature while cooking.

I can tell you what it says on the actual themometer: Roast and Yeast. it gives the roasted temperatures for Beef, Poultry, Pork and cooked Ham. It has a dissolving and non dissolving methods. If I were doing candy I would use a candy themometer. I haven't had a problem with measuring how hot liquids are but I've only measured how hot water is. I also haven't had any problems with temperature markings washing off. Love it for pork roast and roast beef and it has come out just the way I want it to doneness wise.

Do you mean...is the probe to be left inside the cooker? If so ...I think so.

The thermometer will give an instant read and will continue to read if the temperature is changing.There is a hold button so you can always see what the last reading was. It does have an auto off after 10 min.As answered in all the others "IT CANNOT BE LEFT IN THE OVEN" However if you are warming a liquid you can leave the probe in as long as you like

No. This thermometer is designed to be used only outside the oven. The manual explicitly warns not to put it into the oven. The probe shaft is metal, but the dial and controls are plastic.

I would suggest that you purchase an actual meat thermometer. This device would only measure the outside temperature and it's the inside meat temperature that matters. If you were to cook the outside to the higher temperature desired the meat will be really dry. I cook a lot of chicken that's why is decided to share on this question. Good luck

I do - a caveat though: I had to mod the thermostat to get higher temps for darker roasts in a reasonable time. It's not hard to do.I've roasted with this model for 6-8 months, actually I just did about 1/2 lb through mine in several (4?) batches this evening I encourage everyone to try. It isn't hard at all. Just watch and listen. Sweetmarias.com has a guide that is helpfull.Doesn't make very much in each roast session but that means you usually have coffee at most 2 days old. I glued a piece of nylon screen across the intakes on the bottom to stop the chaff from sucking through and burning.Some people make a chaff catcher, but I just roast in the garage and sweep it up.Drew - I do - a caveat though: I had to mod the thermostat to get higher temps for darker roasts in a reasonable time.

I have only used it with the probe in meat in the oven and the thermometer either on top of the stove top or the counter. It is a very handy thermometer. I especially like it to roast a turkey as you dont have to open the oven that much, only if needing to baste.

No, I use it mainly for frying but I assume that you could if you set the temp, put the lid on and monitor the roast. check the booklet that came with it
