I see that this thermometer can be hung in the oven, but can it also sit on the oven rack if need be?

Yes it can. But mine did not work. At that price, I chose not to bother with returning it. No matter how hot the oven, it ever registered over 200°.

It would be difficult. You would probably get burns as the thermometer is not instant and has no clip, etc., to attached to side of any vessel. I have to pull items out of oven to check temp due to heat.

It can be left inside the roast in the oven. I purchased this thermometer and have used it many times and love it.

Keep in mind that this is designed as meat thermometer and is intended to measure the temperature of the meat(while cooking) it only goes to 200 degrees. I don't think you want to leave it the oven at any temperature higher than 200 degree. That being said this works fine for checking the temperature of meat, however I would purchase a different model for use as a over thermometer, fortunately Amazon has many to choose from. I hope that helps you.

I don't think I would put this in the oven. It is meant for stove top cooking.

Yes, of course it can go in the oven. And note that the loop handle is oven-safe.

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.

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.

It has a built-in oven thermometer hanging at the top. It's face is pointed upwards, so you can read it without opening the oven. I've had my oven for a couple years and have done LOTS of cooking with it. It seems that the built-in thermometer is no longer accurate: it often reads high. I don't tend to worry about it...the food cooks just the same. If you are not using the entire shelf for your pot, you could add a regular oven thermometer or use a meat thermometer inside your pot if you're not satisfied with the built-in one.

I would not put it in the oven, although it is silicone and could probably handle it. It can be set in water that is boiling vigorously.

i'm sorry, I don't know. I gave it as a gift. I would assume since it's a cooling rack you wouldn't want to put it in the oven. Just guessing.

I have never used it in the oven. I use it for stove top, that is what I bought it for.

Hi Juanita, I don't think you could use it directly on an oven rack. It's very soft, and you need a baking sheet to support it.

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 thermometer is to be inserted into the meat you are cooking. It doesn't matter if you are cooking the meat on a grill or in an oven. It shows the temperature of the meat, not the grill or oven. Hope this helps.

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.

You can put the probe in the oven. I would just make sure you line the cable down the side of the oven door so it doesn't get pinched in the door.
