can you use it to check the temp of meat in the oven?

It would only read the exterior temp which would not be accurate for internal temperature for this use.

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.

It won't / can't read air temperature, but if you open the oven and point it at the rack or an oven wall, it will give you the surface temperature of that object.

Lynn, you do not check the food with this thermometer, I use mine in the grease to make sure of the correct temperature. You need a meat thermometer.

Yes! Insert the probe in the thickest part of the meat, not fat. Put it in the oven and close the oven over the wire. Set the temperature to what you want, and cook away. The timer will give you a warning when it gets close to the temperature that you want. Take the meat out when done and remove the probe; rest and/or tent with foil if needed.

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

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.

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 , you can use it to check the temperature.but the one I bought just so happens it doesn't work at all.so the answer is No because this product is terrible.
1518837
Yes, it does. So you want to insert it into the middle of the meat to check the internal temp.

It would be difficult. You would probably get burns as the thermometer is not instant and has no clip, etc., to attached to side of any vessel. I have to pull items out of oven to check temp due to heat.

This therometer should not be left in the oven! It's designed as instant read, not continuous. It will melt.

If I had to guess I would say no. There are others that specifically say it can be lieft in the oven. Other than that though it's a very good therometer and seems very accurate.

Keep in mind that this is designed as meat thermometer and is intended to measure the temperature of the meat(while cooking) it only goes to 200 degrees. I don't think you want to leave it the oven at any temperature higher than 200 degree. That being said this works fine for checking the temperature of meat, however I would purchase a different model for use as a over thermometer, fortunately Amazon has many to choose from. I hope that helps you.

No it's a single probe and measures one thing at a time. It will measure smoker or oven temp if it's not in the meat and you make sure the probe tip isn't touching anything.

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.

Yes it can. The probe stays in the protein being cooked, grilled, or smoked and the thermometer has a magnet so it can be on the outside of the oven, grill, or smoker. It also sends the temperature to your smartphone.
