Will it take the temp inside the oven or just the temp on the outside of the oven door?

It reads the temperature of the surface at which it is aimed. Aim it at the inside of the oven, ...

It will work on oven surfaces...bottom plate..(between the heat source and racks) and on baking sheets. but it will not read the oven air temp...it beams through the air in the oven and will give you the temp of the oven floor or walls....hope this helps...it will do the same for fridge...it will give you the temp of food items and containers, but not the air in the fridge....but because food is usually in the fridge longer than things in the oven....reading temps of food items and food containers is pretty much the same as the air in the fridge compartments. hope this was of some help to you....

It depends how big your oven is, but normally if you hang it from the upper rack (given you have room) so it will be more or less in the middle of it. Hope this helps you, good day!

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.

No. This thermometer is designed to be used only outside the oven. The manual explicitly warns not to put it into the oven. The probe shaft is metal, but the dial and controls are plastic.

Yes! It will measure the surface of the onside of the oven as it measures what it's "touching." I found that the inner surface of the oven is on the dot with the temperature given off by the actual oven thermometer.

The metal unit does get hot but haven't tried touching the door. I use the handle and that is never hot. It does not heat up surrounding areas. I have a window above the oven that I open when in use, which is pretty much every day. I really like it a lot.

I believe only external temperature. I found out about it because my boyfriend uses it in his work. I use it for room temps (ie. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?) Also, I just moved, and have a new oven, good for checking if the heat is correct, plus, it is just fun to check things (I think anyway).

On top of the oven, it doesn't get hot to the touch. If you use it inside the oven, of course it gets hot.

It won't / can't read air temperature, but if you open the oven and point it at the rack or an oven wall, it will give you the surface temperature of that object.

Without a window you'll need to open the door to read it which can reduce the temperature which then requires longer cooking times. For cakes and breads try not to open the oven until they are more than halfway done so that cold room air does not interfere with the rising.

I have read the other answers and my opinion differs somewhat: most pizza ovens don't have a door because moisture will build up inside when the door is closed; when the dough and toppings cook moisture is released. This is a problem because most of us want the crust to get crispy; and we want it crispy in a short amount of time. The cooking chamber is small enough that the moisture would build up very quickly and "steam" everything; not the best way to make pizza. This design works very well just the way it is; the crust and toppings seem to cook at the same rate. I have very little trouble holding any temp I want between 325 and 500 degrees.

It has a small round oven thermometer in the upper right corner of the enclosed oven. It works very well, sometimes it's a little foggy due to condensed steam on the overlying window but I like it. I suppose it's possible that it reads a bit hotter than the lower parts of the oven, especially before the whole oven has heated up.

Yes! You run the wire outside of the oven and set the device down somewhere (I leave it stuck to my fridge as it has a magnet). The oven door closes fine over the wire; no worries there.

I don't see why you couldn't. The exterior does get hot, which is relative to how high the temp is inside the oven.

I have never used mine in the oven but I'm guessing that you could; however I don't know what would be considered a safe temp.
