can this measure with regular cooking or does it have to be grilling

Works fine for most any cooking temperature needs. I use daily for soups, oils, meats. Works well.

it is an instant read so use it whether you are grilling, baking, pan frying or whatever. This is a great unit, I wouldnt be without it and actually bought one for my parents as well.

It's really too thick to do so efficiently. It certainly won't sear. I use the metal grill for that, which also gets good grill marks.

It can, but not really what it's designed for. Try the one touch series for regular grilling.

right on the grill surface, where you would want to measure the temperature of where you put your food.

Per the previous answer, this is only the external temperature and for cooking you also need an internal temperature. This thermometer is mainly for industrial uses like air conditioning and so there is no guide with it that has anything to do with cooking. I use it for grilling only to get a sense of what areas of the grill are hot and cold relative to each other. You will be surprised about how much the temperature varies in one part of your grill to another and then it is helpful to shift things around. However, I still am using an internal instant read thermometer for checking the meat.

You could grill fish or steaks but not roast them. It's a very good griddle. Go for it

I measured mine and it's the diameter of the pan itself. The flat cooking surface is smaller.

Directly on grill. Could use griddle or pan if you want as well. It is the same as a BBQ.

It rests on whatever you are cooking and makes grill marks. I leave it one way for a minute or so and then turn it to get a checkerboard pattern.

You could use it for other purposes. Just have to remember it has a plastic housing, so you cannot leave it in the oven or on the grill while cooking. It is designed for quick temperature readings only. The probe stem is about 7" long, so it can get hot while using it over a hot surface.

I measure it like shortening or butter in cooking. I use it in baking quite a bit

Sorry, but I can't answer your question right away. The grill is in my motorhome at our storage facility. I will likely be over there in the next few days, and will measure it for you.

Depends on how you like your meat, gives nice grill marks but watch your internal temp, we like ours med rare and if you do both sides you have to pay attention!!!!

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.

The kit that you are looking at will do. just remember that your whole grill will not be covered. That is okay, as long as large enough for your food. The open areas can still be used as normal for other items too. Preheat and go, I like it for meat.

I never new that it had a tape measurer attached. Have no idea what it would be used for (except to measure some thing.) But the grill gauge works great and has saved me from getting refills before they are needed.

You cook with it. No need to season meat or seafood when you place on the grill
