Can this be used to determine the oven temperature as well as being used as a meat thermometer? How accurate is it if this is possible?

While I have only used this thermometer for the BBQ grill, I suspect it can also be used for indoor oven. It comes with two probes - one for meat and the other for internal temperatue (Grill or oven). I am very pleaed with this product, hope the info helps.

The dual answer is yes. The device has both a clip on sensor for oven temp as well as an internal probe for reading food temp. Both temps are simultaneously displayed. The accuracy seems spot on.

My Maverick has two temp probes, one for meat and one for the temp of the oven/BBQ. It's been pretty darn accurate, +/- 3 degrees at most.

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

I did not "calibrate" my oven thermometer I just just the Admetior in the middle of the oven. Heated it to 350. Checked they were the same. 20 minutes later I checked again and they were the same. I can't really read my oven thermometer anymore, but at least I know it works.

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.

Yes I believe it can be used for that, we have. Some meat thermometers have a way to do it from a distance (ie on a string so you can put it in the oven and keep the door shut) this doesn't. It is also different because it can stand on the pot edge and goes high enough for candy use.

yes you can, just wait a few seconds for the most accurate reading....i have used it for the liquid portion of bread already and it is very accurate. Just be sure when checking temperature, that the tip does not touch the pot or the container. because that will give you an inaccurate reading.

The Maverick Laser thermometer will not read the internal temperature of a roast. It's main function would be to read surface temperature, example, bottom of fry pan, pot, grill grates. I always use it when I cook fried or scrabled eggs on an electric stove to keep the heat under control. I have also used it to read the temperature from the furnace and a/c ducts. I love it and use all the time.

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

Yes, it stays in the oven. If fact the probe provides two temperature readings. It tells you the temp of the meat you are cooking (because you stick the probe into the meat) AND it also gives you the temperature of the oven. The tip of the probe reads the meat . . . and the top portion reads the oven temp. I bought it because we were certain our oven wasn't giving us an accurate reading. We found out that our oven was cooking at 470 degrees when the dial was set at 400 degrees. Hope this helps.

I have used it on several types of foods, both used on the grill. This isn't the type of thermometer that you leave in the meat and walk away. It's for spot checks. ThermoWorks makes other types of thermometers that you stick in the meat and leave.

Yes, kind of - You would need to open the oven and point it at something inside. It will tell you the surface temperature quickly with pretty good accuracy. It you want to measure the oven air temperature, it's better to use a meat thermometer with the remote probe located inside the oven where the food would be placed.

I haven't used it on hamburgers yet, but I've used it on chicken breasts (not too thick ones even) I've used it on things in the oven. It measures the temp quickly! Much faster than my expensive Pamp. Chef pocket thermometer. Makes it nice for the oven, because you're not standing there forever with the oven door open! But, be aware that the suggested and pre-set temps are way too high. So I just use the manual temp read.

It has a built-in oven thermometer hanging at the top. It's face is pointed upwards, so you can read it without opening the oven. I've had my oven for a couple years and have done LOTS of cooking with it. It seems that the built-in thermometer is no longer accurate: it often reads high. I don't tend to worry about it...the food cooks just the same. If you are not using the entire shelf for your pot, you could add a regular oven thermometer or use a meat thermometer inside your pot if you're not satisfied with the built-in one.

This thermometer is to measure oven temperature and to help calibrate the oven. Especially handy for bakers where accurate temperature is critical.

We actually just used this on the grill last night and it worked perfectly! We didn't leave the themometer in the meat while it cooked, we just checked periodically when we knew the meat should be close to being done. Hope this helps!

I haven't used it to take oven temps. However, I use it to make caramel, custard, hollandaise & other temp sensitive foods on the stove top. I also use it to grill. It is remarkably accurate. I would bet that it does well taking oven temps. Hope this helps.

I think so. This device feels well put together and my 10 year old measures food temps in the fridge and freezer well. Also good for measuring oven temps. Not sure what other uses you have in mind.

I would just leave it in solution and watch it reach desired temp,or check meat with it periodically to see if right temp. I wouldn't leave it in the meat but would the solution, but not any hire temp than the Thermonitor can reach.
