I've read the reviews, none mention interior temprature. My question is if the Nubee Temp Gun measures the interior of baking breads & meats.

This is a surface temperture thermometer it only measures the out side of the meat or bread. It is used for measuring room temperatures.
785345
It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.
785346
It's going to read the surface temperature of whatever you are pointing it at, so no.
785347
No. While it is a "thermometer," it really only checks the temperature of the surface of an item. It is not intended to tell the internal temperature of an item. For the price though, I would still recommend the purchase because you can easily tell the temperature of your pans, pots etc.

We use an instant thermometer with no problem. It is not an oven as it has no insulation. I would not think an oven thermometer would be desirable because what you really need to know is the temperature of the food you are cooking rather than the temperature of the surrounding space. In an oven food starts to cook at about 180F and the length of time it takes to cook is very dependent on the amount of liquid the food contains.

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.

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.

The probe only measures the air temperature, not the internal temperature of the thing you are cooking. So it has to not touch the cooking surface, nor the food being cooked. We find it quite fragile, and removing it from the holder designed for an over rack is always a risk. That said, we have used it with a turkey roaster oven, and it did work. But keeping it from touching the turkey or side of the roaster, which would throw off the reading, is very difficult. So I doubt it would work on a stovetop pan. We just got a "Maverick Laser Surface Thermometer" from Amazon which might work better for you. But we haven't really had a chance to try it out yet.

these devices detect ambient air and non reflective surface temperatures only. it should tell you the temperature of the interior oven surfaces. hope this helps.

Did your oven come with a recipe book? This is where you can read about cooking times and temperature settings. All of the recipes in the book have the temp. setting and cooking time. The user manual that I have only has a oven temperature comparison chart in it. The quick and easy cooking guide chart, if you have that, uses the Hi temperature setting for all of the foods listed. I use Hi for everything, and look at the cooking guide chart to get an idea of how long it should take. The recipe book suggests using a temp. setting of 5 or 7 when cooking a thick roast or deep casserole to prevent them from browning to fast. You can keep food warm at 1 or 2. Everything else seems to be on Hi. The triple combo cooking technology makes the food cook faster even though the oven only gets to 350 degrees.

Your experience highlights one major flaw in the marketing of the Fagor 12 quart oven. No detailed information on temperature and other cooking requirements. In all honesty my experience has been through trial and error. Fagor's main competitor in the US is Nuwave. Their oven has much more specific directions on cooking procedures. I would suggest you contact Fagor on their customer support number in the manual and query their food prepartion rep. Sorry I can't help you with more specific information but I can thorougly sympathize with your experience as it mirrors my experiences too. When I do get satisfactory results I note the rack/temperture/time in a notebook that I keep near the oven for future reference. Good luck!

To be honest, I have never been aware of the outside temperature. If yours is cool and it seems to be fucntioning properly, I would not be concerned. Perhaps it's well enough insulated that you don't feel the heat on the outside. However, if you don't feel it is cooking in the time suggested, you might consider returning it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

I'm not sure what their official stance would be, but I would say "yes." The probe they package with the ChefAlarm is rated to 572°F, and short-term exposure all the way up to 700°F. I've certainly never had any issues with probe failures that seemed to be secondary to heat (at least, not with ThermoWorks probes). Having said that, I usually recommend purchasing a second replacement probe just in case; repeated kinking at high temps *can* cause issues even with the best probes, and it can be really annoying to be stuck without a usable probe at the wrong moment.

It would likely be something you'd have to play with a little. Ex: if recipe calls for 220° cooking temp, you may need to go to 240-250° in order for the temperature to be where you need due to the outside temperatures. I wouldn't recommend using it inside because it does give off a lot of smoke, unless you have some sort of exhaust system in your garage or something along those lines. Hope that helps!!

It was a friend with a gas grill who first introduced me to the A-maze-n Tube smoker. He has three heating zones on the grill. He uses one zone for heat and then places the meat and smoker tube in the cool zones for smoking. Using a good internal thermometer is also important, so that you know what the true temperature inside the grill is (often the lid top thermometers are as much as 15-30 degrees off the actual temperature). Good luck!

As most have said, you can get the temperature of the internal oven surface. I don't think you are asking this, but just in case you were wondering, you can't check the internal temperature of meat with this since it will only give you surface readings.

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.

Needle moves fairly quickly. What's your hurry? Put thermometer in when you begin pre-heating the oven. I found it to be very accurate. I am very happy with mine.

The thermometer is mounted in the lid so naturally as soon as you pick up the lid there will be an indicated temperature drop as measured by the thermometer. This grill uses infrared radiant heat from below to cook with and there should be minimal change in amount of heat being transferred to the food. I have a large multi-burner gas grill that also has thermometer in lid that shows a drop of 300 - 350 degrees when the top is opened. You should be able to cook meats without the lid unless there is a lot of wind. If you are saying that the heating element is cooling off when the lid is opened then expect it has to do with wind which will impact any heat source.

to check grill's temp yes, for food no. It measures the temp surface only not the inside part
