I need to measure my temperature inside an oven. If I place the sensor inside and shut the door, would it hurt the wire?

This thermometer is not designed for use in an oven. The max temp is 248 F or 120 C.

You should be able to use just about any wire with the same gauge as the ones attached to the sensors, since the current going through is minimal and overheating is not an issue...

Unfortunately, a window would interfere with the heating elements and cause uneven browning of the pizza . . .thus defeating the purpose. The temperature stays accurate and the timer exceptional. You shouldn't need to check it before it's ready

I haven't had that problem. The wire is very thin and flexible and most oven doors have a gasket to help seal them (like a car door).

Hi there! No, you may just cap-off the sensor wire and the thermostat will control the temp.

You can close the oven door on the cable with no problem. You can't leave the monitor in the oven. BTW, the monitor has a magnet on the back so I put it on my refrigerator while I have the probe in the oven. You could also stick on the side of the oven.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

Yes but you'll need to set the alarm to go off when it hits the high temp and then while its cooling, set it to the lower temp. I have found this to be a very accurate thermometer so i don't think you'll have a problem with accuracy.

The instruction manual states "Do not use the stainless steel probe sensor above 410 degrees F. Doing so will deteriorate the wire."

the only way that would work is if you drilled a hole in the oven. The probe needs to be inside and the dial or face needs to be outside of the heat source.

Sure it can. As long as only the probe and not the whole device is put in the oven, and you respect the maximum temperature, there will be no issues.

If this happens on every use, the probe or wire is probably bad. I have never had a problem when using a probe in the oven, but on the BBQ, the probe wire can be subjected to extreme temps. Say during a flare up or right over a burner. What I do now is loosely roll on foil from the beginning of the probe to the point the wire exits the BBQ. About 3 layer wrap seems good so far. The extreme temps inside a BBQ can melt the wire inside the mesh wire cover. It's heat resistant - not heat proof.

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.

The probe goes in the oven, because it has to go in the meat. The wire sticks out the edge of the oven. The plastic part that has the readout cannot go in the oven.

It will tolerate the temperature, but the probe is rather short for your purposes... I would be afraid of burning myself if used that way... maybe if you used a heat-proof glove at the same time?

Yes, there is a thermometer enclosed and it works very well. It tells you the temperature of the oven and you can regulate it by moving the oven to direct sun rays.

As most have said, you can get the temperature of the internal oven surface. I don't think you are asking this, but just in case you were wondering, you can't check the internal temperature of meat with this since it will only give you surface readings.
