can you put it inside grill/oven and close the door and let it bake/grill without damaging the thermometer?

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.

The plastic melted and battery, wires, and chip were hanging from the stem when I left the unit inside turkey by mistake. What I'd like to know is what is the risk of contamination of the food?

I haven't tried, but I doubt it! I am pretty sure it would melt. It is an instant read thermometer.

This thermometer must NOT BE PUT IN THE OVEN! It is an instant read and not intended to be used like the old fashioned thermometers stuck in the meat and left there. You will destroy the thermometer if you leave it in the oven.

You need open the door, because take the temperature of the object close to the IR, and the door of the oven have insulation to prevent accidents and keep the heat inside.

I have not done that but place it on the door of the refrigerator. It is a tight seal and might work but I'd try to keep it the way it was designed.

I am not where my grill is, but both my husband and I believe you absolutely can. I will tell you, it will get HOT, so when you close it, you will definitely need to watch it, but I know I have closed it with the griddle on!

The oven is very well insulated so the short answer is no. In fact, the oven stays warm inside for a very long time after it is shut-off. NOTE: Any appliance that generates heat will warm up the area around it but this oven is small and well-insulated so the impact is negligible.

I have never needed to take it to that high a temp. I would think you could depending on the length of time it will be in the oven at that degree. The manufacturer should be able to give you this information.

Yes u can. This is a great pan to use on the stove top or oven. The grill side & the depth of the ridges keeps the grease contained!

You do not place the probe in the item on the grill and leave it. Just test the item and check the done condition and remove it

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.

I don't see why you couldn't. The exterior does get hot, which is relative to how high the temp is inside the oven.

My oven closes as usual. The probe chord is not thick enough to be an issue. Just ensure you have any slack out of the way of the oven door and it should work fine.

Yes, and a thermometer you can stick in the food. We really like this versatile grill.

This is not the type of thermometer that you leave in the oven with what ever your baking. With this type you have to open the oven once in a while and stick the probe in meatiest part to get the correct temp. After you get a reading you pull it out, turn it off and clean the metal probe, put it back in its sleeve and wait to use it again.

Yes you can leave this inside a roast as it cooks. The thing is pretty rugged.

You can leave it in the meat while it is in the oven. I don't know about a slow cooker or grill. You could download the manual from KitchenAid directly, and it should be listed there.

We have never used it that way. Never even considered it, in fact. I do not recall anything in the instructions about putting the cooker inside the oven. Maybe they never thought of it either?? In any case, I can not see why it would not work inside the oven. It will still get hot and the smoker should still smoke the meat, etc. This might get the oven full of smoke, but that would not hurt anything. One can put the smoker on the outside grille and cook outside,but this is like putting it on the stove top burner. To get to the point and answer your question---I think you could use it inside the oven, but why would you want to? We have never used it that way. Never even considered it, in fact.
