Can you use this with just the meat thermometer/sensor if needed? I'm just wondering if for whatever reason I roast something in the oven.

Sure you can. Works like a charm. Set it and alarm will beep on temp. Nice machine. The wire can over heat in the BBQ tho. Learning exp. just get new probe. And also be careful not to pull by the wire. It possibly might pull out and not work after. Pull by the solid probe! �

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.

No, you insert it into the meat only to check it's current temp(doneness), then take it out, turn it off and repeat when necessary ps., it is not a truly 'instant' read thermometer, does take about 10sec., which is pretty darn fast. Hope this was helpfull. BT

I don't put mine in the oven and leave it, don't think that's recommended. I believe that you're supposed to insert it and do a spot check of the meat temp, rather than leave it in place while it's cooking. That's what works for me.

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 the temperature sensor is close to the tip of the probe, but you want to make sure that you are inserting the probe into the center of the meat. It is important to make sure that you are reading the center of the meat where it sometimes isn't cooked all the way through. Hope this helps! :)

The sensors are on the tip but to get an accurate temp of the meat you are cooking, I would think that you would need to insert it to the middle.

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.

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.

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

I never used it that way, but I suppose it could be an instant-read thermometer since it's meant to be inserted into the meat to get internal temp. FWIW, I never use this thermometer anymore and wish I had sent it back. Neither the meat end, nor the oven end are accurate in my Chargriller Akorn. I calibrated the temps using 3 other thermometers I have and this one was off way too far to be used.

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.

I believe you can, and you might not need to even buy another meat probe. You might get away with using that bbq temp sensor. I'll have to try that sometime. IF they're the same type of meat, and you're using a heat diffuser, all the pieces of meat should finish at the same time. IF they're different types of meat, you could use they meat probe on the faster cooking meat. Once it hits its temp, remove the meat and put the meat probe into the slower cooking meat. Just some suggestions.

you should be able to, but if you have the char-broil then I think the roast might come out better in there vs the oven

Barbara, you wouldn't want to do this in any case -it would alter the heat sensitivity of the probes (rendering their readings inaccurate.)The "don'ts" are few and pretty simple: Don't use the wire over the direct open flame, don't get 'em wet, and when you take the probe out of the meat you need to grasp the probe, not tug it out by the wire.Hope this helps.

I have never used it for that and do not use a thermometer. However the low temp is very low. I'll put a smoked turkey on low after it is done to "Hold" it and it does not over cook. But I have never checked temp.

Yes, put one probe for measuring the oven temperature near mid-height in oven and the other into the food. Mine showed my oven was was actually 35°F hotter than what was set on the dial and explained why cookies got burned so easily. Adjusted dial, no more burned cookies.
