does it stay in oven while meat is cooking

To be honest, it melted the very first time I used it - so I'm not sure. It wasn't worth the money.

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.

yes, you leave the thermometer in while it cooks; the alarm rings when it reaches the right temp.

Not always. It has automatic preset keys that you adapt depending on the recipes. I am very happy with my oven. You learn how to adapt your recipes, the more that you use this oven.

Unfortunately no. It has a coating on it that the oven temperature could possibly damage. I thought when I purchased it i could but when it arrived I knew it wouldn't hold up in the oven.

No. The heating element stays on when the door is open. I verified this by opening the door and then setting the timer, which turns on the oven. I put my hand inside, and I could feel the heat from the oven starting to heat up.

I have not tried to use this pot in the oven. However, I have an All-Clad saute pan that I have used in the oven to finish steaks. You might ask this question on the All-Clad website, or check the FAQ's on their site for better information.

YES, I use mine in the oven all the time. I cook at 350* so hope this helps...

It hasn't yet and I have made meatloaf several times and loaf cakes. You just have to be very careful when you remove it from the oven as it is not stable. But I still love it because it is so easy to clean and the ridges in the bottom keep the meatloaf from sitting in the grease from the meat.

Yes. It's heavy duty and I would be comfortable browning meat on the cook top before putting it in the oven.

You can leave it in your oven, but I don't know if it will withstand the heat of a BBQ

Surprisingly, no. I used mine to keep pulled pork warm for an event. The meat was out for about 3 hours. It didn't burn or dry out.

As long as you keep adding food, it will stay on. For example - you need 3 ozs.. and the piece of meat you just cut is 2.5 ozs.. you can add additional ounces to it. To fully answer this question: it stays on long enough.

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 don't use it in the oven. It doesn't design for oven. Good for Chinese fast stir fry food. Nonstick fry wok.

I have put it in the oven for 5 or 6 minutes to finish off a steak, but not longer. I can't answer if you could do a casserole because I haven't tried.

That's what I like about it. When I make a roast in the oven, I can put it on top of the stove and thicken the juice for gravy. If you keep the fire on low heat, you could roast. Otherwise it will stick. It is not real thick on the bottom for roasting.

Yes it sure does...the little spikes as you wrote, are what makes a dutch oven a dutch oven AS the inner moisture [put a cup of water in it on top of the meat] 'drips off of those little spikes' so the meat does not dry out no matter if its beef, pork or chicken it will remain moist. I love my pot roasts that I make in it! My mother has a Dutch Oven that she has been cooking roast dinners for years AS her father gave it to her for a wedding gift 66 years ago! Cast Iron can be passed down from one generation to the next AS all of ours will be. Hope this answer helps you.

I have never used it in the oven, I believe it is but can not say for certain. As for on the stove top, this is probably the best pan I have ever owned.
