Does this work on internal meat temperatures ?

It can only read surface temperatures. For meat you would need a probe type thermometer.

If you cut the meat in half you might be able to take the surface temperature of the meat, but then your meat is going to be cut in half and that's not real appetizing. Blue cheese is very appealing, maybe some bacon.

No it measures surface temperatures. It's a laser, so it only travels as far as the light will allow it.

I don't know, but I think probably not. I'm sure it would external temperatures and I'm going to try it. Thanks

Hi Patriot1, thanks for your message. Yes you can set your specific temperature. By going to "set" you choose any meat and then choose "My custom". Click "my custom" again and choose your temp by scrolling in the bottom of the screen. When done so, remember to press "done" and then "set and exit". This should solve your problem with the custom settings.

The oven temp is a separate issue from the temp that will register on the device--you would never want the internal temp of your meat greater than 165, so the probe thermometer will work just fine for any food. You would not want to leave it in a 500 degree oven for an extended period...just to be safe.

Yes, a temp shows, probably air temp. It increases (or decreases if meat is cold) once inserted and the meat begins to cook. I like it, but I do wish the probe cable was a bit longer.

I'd venture to guess the manufacturer would have the temperature number. As for cooking on the warm setting length of cooking would likely be extended and the temperature must reach a safe degree when cooking any meat. Be careful.

This is actually a great thermometer to take the internal temp of food. You can use it on meats or candy. Super easy to clean and easy to use.

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.

Yes it works good. I like to season cubed meat for certain sausages and leave sit overnight. I still mix the sausage with a mixer or by hand after grinding.

Yes, you can set it for the temperature that you want and when it reaches that temperature, it will alert you. It does not have a "poultry" or "pork" type button. This is actually my favorite feature.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

If you are interested only in the temperature of the surface, yes, but wont be helpful to find if the center of the meat reach certain temperature

Yes that is how it works. However yesterday I did a pork tenderloin with it in and after the recommended 20-25 minutes this said it was at 113 when I was sure it was much hotter so I put in an instant read and it went to 140+ right away then I took this out and moved the probe and it shot up to 145 so I'm not sure how reliable it is. Perhaps I had done it wrong but I don't know how. I'm still mixed about this I love the idea of it.

Their is a hole in the cover of the grill. At that point it measures the inside temperature. I would think if you had a hole or made one it would do the job. It was easy installing it.

To measure the temperature of the cooker: No. It regulates itself but you can if you're curious. For the meat: I would highly recommend using a high quality digital thermometer to determine the final temps of your meat. I use a Thermapen by Thermoworks and I always know where the meat is at and when it will be done.

Yes it tells u both oven and meat temp and as far as I can tell it ha been very accurate. We have used about a dozen times or so and has been very helpful and accurate

yes you can set the temperature manually. here's what you do: press and hold the "mode" button. the meat icons should disappear. then press "meat up" or "cook down" button and the temperature will go up or down by one degree at a time. you just go to whatever temperature you want. your target temperature will appear on the lcd screen. the cooking alerts will still sound as described.

YES, You can measure the temp of anything you put in your oven or bbq. it will give you two vebal and audible warnings, one when it is almost done (when it reaches 5 degrees to desired internal temp), and second (when it has reached desired internal temp).
